About Happy Whole Human®

A safe space for transformation, where being fully human is not just allowed, but celebrated.

Explore HWH® training Find a coach

At Happy Whole Human®, we are building more than a platform, we're building a haven: a place where it's safe to show up fully. To feel deeply. To disagree respectfully. To be wildly successful or completely burned out. To be a work in progress and a force of nature, all at once.

We create and maintain a space where people can connect to themselves, to one another, and to what truly matters. We believe that healing and growth happen not in isolation, but in community, and that we're better together, because there is a we in wellness.

Our mission is to shift the prevailing culture, from one of burnout, disconnection, and performance-at-all-costs, toward conscious, empowered interdependence: a world where well-being and high performance are not at odds, but deeply intertwined. A world where people are equipped and encouraged to bring their whole selves to their lives, their work, and their relationships.

All Happy Whole Human® coach trainings and client coaching sessions are delivered live and online, so you can take part from anywhere in the world.

Agile Wellness: a new model for growth

At the heart of our approach is a principle we call Agile Wellness, an ongoing, adaptive process of personal and collective evolution. Like agile organizations, healthy humans thrive through a cycle of inspect, adapt, improve.

We invite people into a continuous learning mindset, rooted in curiosity and compassion rather than perfection. Our holistic wellness tools help individuals, teams, and organizations regularly check in, reflect, iterate, and grow, staying grounded and resilient even in the face of chaos and change.

For individuals

This is your space to evolve.

Whether you're stuck, thriving, or somewhere in between, our validated holistic wellness assessment, self-paced eCourses, and AI-powered support system meet you where you are. You'll receive personalized insights across 28 dimensions of well-being, plus practical tools to support your journey toward clarity, vitality, and fulfillment. You can take excellent care of yourself and still give more to your relationships, work, and world. In fact, that's exactly how it works.

For coaches

Amplify your impact. Sustain your practice. Empower transformation.

Happy Whole Human® provides certified coaches with everything they need to build thriving practices and deliver measurable, meaningful results. Our ICF-accredited coach training, ongoing supervision, white-label-ready tools, and proprietary app platform give coaches the structure and support to grow their businesses and scale their impact ethically, effectively, and joyfully. You don't have to choose between heart and strategy. We help you bring both to your clients.

For organizations

Elevate your people. Build adaptive cultures. Measure what matters.

In a VUCA world, static solutions no longer suffice. Our coach-led programs and digital wellness platform empower your people to develop emotional intelligence, resilience, and a growth mindset, while providing real-time data on well-being, alignment, and performance. We help you create agile, human-centered systems that foster trust, innovation, and sustained excellence. When people feel seen, supported, and safe to be real, they perform better, lead better, and stay longer.

Why it matters

This work is personal. It began with Dr. Lisa Leit's doctoral research on conversational narcissism and a deep frustration with how fear-based, ego-driven behaviors create dysfunction at home, at work, and in society.

Across thousands of coaching conversations, the same pattern appears: people overextend, overprotect, and overcompensate, and slowly lose themselves. But there is also profound power in intentional, supported growth, in confident self-actualization paired with caring and respect.

Often misunderstood, the benefits of self-advocacy and healthy boundaries are backed by indisputable evidence. When people take good care of themselves, they give more, to their families, their companies, their friendships, and their communities. It's not selfish. It just makes more sense. We embrace the legitimacy of individual perspectives and the importance of collective well-being, and we believe in the power of reciprocity, mutuality, and respect as the foundation for thriving lives and healthy systems.

Our ecosystem

What makes us unique is our whole-system approach. Happy Whole Human® is a data-informed, coach-delivered wellness ecosystem designed for individuals, teams, families, and enterprises. It includes:

Our vision

We're working toward a world where:

This isn't about fixing people. It's about creating the conditions for them to thrive. It's about helping humans adapt, evolve, and experience the joy of authentic connection, with themselves and each other. Because when people are well, truly well, and working together, everything changes.

Join us in creating a world where being whole is the key to thriving, individually, together, and for good.

What clients say

Client Reviews

From the people and organizations who have worked with Happy Whole Human®.

I'm truly obsessed with my coach, Dr. Lisa Leit. The way she combines presence, complete command of ICF competencies, and practical tools from her holistic approach keeps me learning and growing in a meaningful direction.

Erin Maltby-Addelia, M.Ed.Lead, The International Way · International Motors

It turns out you can take care of yourself and give more to an organization. You can be whole. It doesn't have to be this vampire exercise. That's why this work is so revolutionary.

Jessica AgneessensFounder, WFM Academy for Conscious Leadership

I can't say enough nice things about how impressed I am with Dr. Lisa Leit. I have referred Lisa and her team to those seeking executive coaching and organizational leadership, and her results are just outstanding.

John MorganVice President & Chief People Officer, Hahn

She holds up a mirror to the whole team with compassion while being highly effective. We finally had the conversations we'd been avoiding for a year, and came out aligned.

What students say

Student Reviews

From graduates of Happy Whole Human® coach training.

The in-depth course material and ease of navigation made the learning experience both engaging and manageable. Equally, I appreciated the facilitator's (Sara Moles) attentiveness to the participants and commitment to creating a supportive learning environment. I enjoyed the process.

Sha-ree Lewis

I like that my cohort was small. Allowed us to devote a good amount of time on topics and develop a good rapport between cohort and instructor. Overall enjoyed having Sara as instructor and working alongside Leslie and Sha-ree. It was a great class and feel prepared to take ACC.

George Monjimbo

It was so wonderful to go through this with a cohort! I really feel well-equipped with tools and resources for the next stage of preparation for ACC and then PCC. I loved the cohort, the practice time, the time for questions and answers, and the homework preparation for each class.

Alicia Mutch

Lisa, you were such a great coach and trainer. I enjoyed all of the tools provided (Ovida, Dashboard, Miro), the fast pace of the classes and the role plays and material trained during online classes. It was perfect for me. Thank you so much for teaching me powerful new coaching skills to use with everyone in my life.

Melissa Mendoza

I enjoyed learning from other coaches at different points in their journey. I also appreciated the ecourse which helped to give me an understanding of what would be included and what was expected. I also LOVED learning from Lisa and can tell she has a deep understanding of ICF coach requirements. I appreciate that Lisa was willing to provide our cohort with an accelerated course and that she makes her courses so much more affordable than most certification programs.

Sara Moles

I appreciated that it was a small group of participants, and that Lisa basically trained us for PCC level coaching skills. I appreciated that she would often check in with us, asking what we needed more of or she would change her plans to accommodate a request for learning something specific. I also appreciated all the resources for continued learning and developing, and the feedback after giving a practice session, using the form that clearly shows what we did or did not demonstrate according to the ICF guidelines. I learned a lot about how to rethink my questions to reformulate them into open-ended questions, the biggest and most important skill I learned. I appreciated the swiftness of Lisa's responses, that she welcomed the strengths and expertise I already have and invited me to integrate the HWHI methods into what I already do, and her support and enthusiasm during a very difficult few months for me.

Dr. Jane Rigler

The course's structure was very helpful in learning ICF coaching standards and processes. I loved the variety of the training and Lisa's encouragement and joy were very encouraging. I feel very empowered and excited to begin my journey of coaching. I am so glad I chose Happy Whole Human for my coach training program, it was the perfect fit for me. I look forward to and plan to complete more training with them again in the future.

Amy Guthrie

I like how Dr. Leit builds community so participants feel safe to risk and grow.

Dr. Rosenna Bakari

Watching Lisa "in action" was amazing. I learned as much watching her as she coached us as I did from the content and practice.

Connie Dias

Lisa's teaching style and her constant encouragement to all made this a wonderful learning environment. I felt a sense of community and feel very motivated to continue my coaching journey.

Tricia Osborn

What I enjoyed most about this course were the insights I gained regarding not only the material, but also myself. Every lesson gave me the opportunity to reflect on what I learned, whether it be about the course content or myself as an individual. I was able to apply the concepts and theories learned in each class to my own life, which offered me new perspectives in general. The overall course and its curriculum were very well planned and executed. The instructor was always very warm, approachable, professional, and respectful. I felt excited and eager to participate in every lesson, due to the pleasant and thought-provoking learning environment created by the instructor and students.

John Chen

We had such a lovely, small group and I have never felt more supported in a training or class environment. Dr. Leit is amazing and truly wants her students to succeed! I'm thrilled to have found this program and feel grateful that the Universe steered me there. I'm so in line with the Happy Whole Human philosophy and love working with and learning from Dr. Leit and the other HWH students. So many good vibes!

Dr. Robyn Bragg

Comprehensive, experiential and excellent training.

Nicole House

What distinguishes Dr. Leit across all roles is her profound ability to create appropriate developmental spaces while maintaining clear boundaries and purpose. As a coach, she creates an environment of unconditional positive regard with perfect balance of support and challenge. As a mentor, she provides structured guidance while encouraging autonomous decision-making. As a supervisor, she demonstrates remarkable skill in fostering professional growth while ensuring adherence to ethical standards.

Dr. Leit's approach seamlessly integrates coaching excellence with supervisory wisdom and mentoring insight. Her commitment to developing ethical, competent practitioners is evident in her meticulous attention to professional standards while fostering individual growth. Through her comprehensive guidance, I developed enhanced capabilities in ethical decision-making, professional boundary maintenance, and advanced coaching interventions.

Logan Butterfield

Since working with Dr. Leit starting in the Spring of 2012, I've had the privilege of receiving impactful coaching as a client, and mentorship in support of my ACHE Hypnotic Coach Certification, as well as participating as a student in the entire Happy Whole Human® program (300 hours).

Dr. Leit is a true artist in the way she guides her clients and students towards self-actualized solutions and attainable goal alignment. Her ability to navigate successful outcomes for her clients and blossom students into coaches is grounded in safety and supported by the proven coaching frameworks in the Happy Whole Human® program, developed over decades.

Dr. Leit has demonstrated consistent ability to lead clients and students ethically and compassionately. In my personal experience, I've made remarkable progress and overcome challenges that were previously not possible through other channels. Dr. Lisa Leit is remarkably talented, accountable, and upholds the highest standards as a coach and teacher.

Angela Hollingsworth

I trained under her Happy Whole Human® program, earning my Level 1 and Level 2 coaching certifications, as well as my certification in hypnotic coaching. Under Lisa's mentorship, I was able to obtain my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential and successfully initiate an internal coaching program within my organization.

What I appreciate most about Lisa is her unwavering dedication to both her clients and students. She provides an exceptionally well-structured and supportive learning environment, ensuring the tools and resources she shares are organized and accessible. Her sessions are infused with positivity, encouragement, and a deep commitment to inclusivity, and she has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Lisa's coaching and mentoring have significantly impacted my growth as a coach. Her expertise, compassion, and leadership make her an outstanding mentor and coach. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from her.
