About Krama Coaching Academy
Krama Coaching Academy was created to offer coach training and professional development that is both grounded and human.
We are a small, experienced team bringing together backgrounds in coaching, mentoring, supervision, education and wellbeing. Alongside professional standards and competency-based development, we value reflective practice, relational learning and supporting coaches as whole people - not simply as a set of techniques or performance outcomes.
Our work is influenced not only by contemporary coaching approaches, but also by wider experience within supervision, mindfulness, somatic awareness, wellbeing and adult learning.
We believe coaching can be skilled, ethical and professionally rigorous whilst still remaining deeply human.
