Newfield Ontological Programs & Coaching Certification
Newfield Ontological Programs
Ontological coaching is one of the most effective methodologies for transformation available today—both personal transformation and organizational transformation. Ontological coaching is a practice that facilitates the emergence of new possibilities in the personal and/or professional life of an individual (or group) by making him aware of his participation in the construction and co-creation of the reality he perceives. More simply put, ontological coaching addresses the concern for more effective action while also addressing the concerns of the human soul that are mostly left out of our learning practices today.
This approach to coaching transforms your worldview and capacity for action while teaching you to coach others for meaningful and sustainable change. The Coach Partnership’s Ontological Coach Training Programs are accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). Consisting of two modules, spread across three, in-person conferences and are led by an international team of experienced, skilled facilitators and certified coaches. The modules are called “The Foundations in Ontological Learning Course” and “The Art and Practice of Ontological Mastery” (TAPOM) and are accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) Level 2. Taken together, these two modules form The Newfield Coach Certification Program (Foundations plus TAPOM) that is delivered over a nine month period. Each participant is supported throughout the program by a senior Newfield Certified Coach.
The conferences produce a rich learning context that helps you uncover ways of thinking, feeling and moving. Conference activities include:
- Introduction and practice of the Newfield distinctions and models
- Individual and group coaching sessions.
- Small and large group interactions.
- Experiential learning activities in the 3 domains of language, emotions, and body (somatics).
Why Newfield Coach Certification Program?
- The Newfield program is recognized as the premier coach training offer in Singapore and Asia. Our program coaches are ICF certified (PCC or above) and are selected from our world-wide network of experienced practitioners.
- Unlike most other training schools who offer one or maybe two trainers, we offer a training team of five subject matter experts from around the globe: USA, South America and UK.
- A senior, diverse and dynamic participant group.
- An active alumni network supported by follow up programs, learning activities and coaching services.

Module 2: The Art and Practice of Ontological Mastery
Coaching for Sustained Behavior Change
As you approach the completion of Foundations in Ontological Learning, or if you have completed Foundations in the past, you are eligible to continue to our second module – The Art and Practice of Ontological Mastery (TAPOM). This is a program that builds on Foundations and gives you the skills to coach others using the Ontological model of coaching.
The Foundations course introduced you to the distinctions of Ontological Learning but, in the most part, the Observer you studied was yourself. In TAPOM, we start to learn how to support others in the same way and the mechanism we use is coaching. Many of our TAPOM participants are managers, leaders and professionals who want to support those around them as they add coaching to their repertoire. Mastery only occurs in the application of learning. We truly embody our learning as we use it in the service of others.
The standards of the program are in-line with the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) highest standards for a coaching school (Level 2). Once you complete this module, you are eligible for Newfield Coach Certification which opens the fast track door to ICF accreditation.
The Art and Practice of Ontological Mastery (TAPOM)
TAPOM is the program that follows the above mentioned Foundations Program. TAPOM begins immediately after the closing of Foundations in Conference 2. It is an online conference, via Zoom from 10 – 13 July 2025. The program ends with Conference 3, an in-person conference, in Singapore from 11 – 14 December 2025.

Re-immersion Program
Re-Immerse Yourself in Newfield’s Ontological Learning
We offer our alumni an opportunity to re-immerse in our programs. Many Newfield Graduates have expressed how much more they learn the second time around. You may pick up on things you didn’t realize from your first experience or leave more deeply grounded in your field of practice. You can go deeper with the Newfield distinctions in Conference 1 or 2 and / or go deeper in their practice of coaching in Conference 3. All of the conferences have developed over our years of delivery.
Graduates who have taken our programs have told us that they:
- Gained new insights
- Deepened and refined their coaching skills
- Reconnected with a nourishing, supportive and loving community
For ICF certified coaches who need to pick up Continuing Coach Education Units (CCEUs), re-immersing in the conferences is an ideal way to do this.

Ontological Coaching Testimonials
It’s always been clear to me that certain people, people who exercise regularly and who eat healthy, people who sleep well and who don’t smoke or drink to excess, create different outcomes in life. Becoming certified as a health coach has cemented this understanding of health in a new way for me; a way that has allowed me to be even more outrageous with my clients as they take control of their health and aging and inspire those around them to do the same.
Chris Balsley, PCC
I loved The Health Coaching Program by The Coach Partnership! The tools I learnt equipped me to work with people at a deep and sustainable level. I love working with people to reveal the “why” of the goals they have on health, which often reveals the depth of what and who they truly care about!
Alice Chia, PCC
The Health Coaching Program with The Coach Partnership is a well-curated learning platform for appreciating essential well-being. I am grateful for the insights and resources shared by well-seasoned mentor coaches alongside an accomplished collective of health professionals, fitness specialists and wellness experts. Being attuned to health and wellness, not only nourishes and expands my coaching conversations with clients, but also sustains my own journey of well-being.
Derrick Tan, ACC
I am honored to be certified as a Health Coach by The Coach Partnership. This program served as a platform for me to practice integrating ontological, executive and health coaching in the realm of Healing. The practice reminded me how important listening intently into the depth of a client’s conversation is to Self-Care and Self Recovery. Much Gratitude to Mark Hemstedt and Dr. Kat for designing and giving me the opportunity to participate in this world class program.

Katie Gray
As a Coach, Wellness Coaching had never been on my list of things to pursue. I was drawn to this course due to the caliber of the instructors and my fellow students; I hoped to rub shoulders with incredible and wise coaches. I now understand that health and wellness is embedded in nearly every issue brought into the coaching space. Wellness is integral to helping others, and | now have the confidence to explore this realm with my clients, friends and family!
Katie Lay, ACC, NCC
I am so thrilled to receive this certification. It is indeed, a humbling journey and honest conversation that I had ever experienced, coaching the clients. As their leader and coach, the journey makes me reflect how I have led them in the past and how I can be better moving forward.
Noor Afiza Mohd Yusof, ACC
Grateful for another eye opening year into the world of Health and Wellness. This brings a positive angle to 2020.
My thoughts are with Mark Hemstedt that brought me into coaching more than 10 years ago and I see his hand behind
some of the teachings. This learning has proven extremely efficient for my clients and perhaps even more for myself.
I am now a healthier human being thanks to The Coach Partnership program.

The Health Coaching Program is amazing in its ability to go both broad and deep into different aspects of health–
physical, emotional and mental–as well as in providing Practical and effective tools to help clients create sustainable behaviour and habit changes. It’s made a positive impact not only to my role as a Coach, but also to my personal health and of my family and friends as well. Highly recommended for all Coaches!

Well-being is at the forefront of everyone’s concerns now. Being an executive coach, I sensed the presenting need to certify as a health & well-being coach as well. With the best of faculty & mentors to support, and coach colleagues on board, the journey has changed
me- as a person and as a coach! Truly grateful.
