CODE Model Coaching™
A New Way of Considering Health Issues
by Amy McNaughton

Over the past few years I have studied a variety of modalities to help people improve their health.
As a Registered Nutritionist it was clear to me that the only way to do this was through nutrition. After all…”You are what you eat.” Or are you?

I saw how nutrition had improved my health and from there my life changed but I also still had health issue still running in the background.
Working with what I knew, I have seen many people’s health improve through nutrition alone but as myself, they too still had all kinds of symptoms even though their health had improved.

And then I discovered that there was something more out there.

After being introduced to the WEL-Systems® Institute, I became very curious as to what it was that they could offer me. I decided to take a program through them for my own personal growth. I’m all about self-improvements and, being as much as I can be.

As a professional working with clients that have many health issues, I am always keeping myself up to date with new supplements that come out and really looking into the products to make sure that the research behind a certain product is truly as beneficial as they say it is. When it comes to people’s health, I like to know that I have provided them with the best possible way that I know to assist them with their health.

Being open to new ways of looking at things is a gift in my opinion because I’m always open to other possibilities. As I discover something new that appears to work, I use it. However I know that should I discover something else that works, then I have no problem changing my way at looking at things. By doing this I always am sure that I’m providing my clients with the best possible solution that I know to work with them.

I have been working with people and their health issues now, for over 4 years. Although that may not seem like very long for some, I am starting to catch their attention because of the results that my clients are getting on health issues that have been hounding them for years.

I received my certification as a WEL-Systems® Facilitator in November 2006.
I had initially taken the program offered for my own personal growth but then couldn’t resist using it in interactions that I was having not only with my family and friends, but with my clients as well. It was pretty amazing what I was seeing happen with my clients.

In the process of the certification I discovered many things about my own health and life and how everything seemed to be connected.
I was very impressed by my own personal results that I had achieved with my own health issues. And then, as I implemented what I had learned into the sessions with my clients, there was no possible way to deny that it was indeed the WEL-Systems® Body of knowledge that was making a huge difference in the results being achieved by the clients.

Seeing that my own health issues that had been hounding me for years disappeared in a very short time, that I needed to look at using this more seriously.

As I drew on my newfound knowledge, I started using it to work with my clients more in-depth than I had been. And yes still using nutrition but not through nutrition alone, I started to notice something. What I was noticing was that their health issues were improving a lot quicker than what they had been when I was working with them through nutrition alone.

The more clients that I started working with in this way and coaching them through out the session, which was nothing more than changing the conversations we were having the quicker I saw improvements.

Although things were going quite well with the new approach that I was using, I started to question whether I should look further into the WEL-Systems® Institute
To see what else that they may have to offer.

I became very excited when I discovered that the first program that I had engaged in was the first of a series that would offer as an end result a certification as a CODE Model Coach™.
So the streamline of the programs were called Portals Passages Certification Intensives. So when I discover what more they could offer, it became clear to me that I needed to do the programs.

In the one week of the first intensive my life as well as my health, had started to change. What I found to be amazing was the fact that just by me changing how I perceived things (life and health), things in my life started changing as well including the interactions between my family, friends and my clients. I started to take all of that into consideration. I became curious as to what kind of an effect would I have on the people around me (and yes at that point I was thinking of clients as well), if I was to continue this journey through the WEL-Systems® Institute?

It became clear that there was nothing more to consider. What I needed to do was to take a deep breath and invest the money and the time to be able to help clients out more efficiently.

Well that was a great intention that I had started out with but as time went on, what I would discover was a shock to me.
“I could not ‘cure’ people of their health issues.” And it didn’t stop there. “I wasn’t responsible for improving their health issues.” Then I also had to admit, that even though my background was in nutrition that that was only part of the equation and not the root cause as I was lead to believe and what I had learned.
So needless to say I felt shell-shocked.

The interesting thing of it all was that even though I was shocked, I knew that it all made sense.
How could our environments not have an impact on us?

So as I made my way through the streamline of programs, the CODE Model™ became clearer to me. There was something about it that amazed me and again, it all made sense. Wow! It always excites me when I learn something new that appears to be so easy and yet so complex. So each program provides a more in-depth understanding of what the CODE Model™ is.

By the end of July 2007, my life had changed completely. It had nothing to do with the power of “Positive Thinking,” because what I had learned (and what I had a clear understanding of) was that the body can over-ride the intellect. J
Like that? I do.

Now think of how many times you’ve had positive thoughts that never got you anything that you wanted?

So September of this year I stepped into the program, which would give me my certification as a CODE Model Coach™.

When I had started out I was focused on becoming a CODE Model Coach™, and there was nothing obstructing my vision of that. It was clear to me that that was exactly what I wanted. However within a week of me completing the program, I started to question it. Not question becoming a CODE Model Coach™ rather questioning whether it was something that I was doing or who I was becoming.

I sit here now and I can tell you that being aware of the CODE Model™ and how it works, for me simply how I live my life. It is effortless and the challenge at first is to stay awake and be aware that I do indeed create what I have in all aspects of my life.

So as I share with you my experiences of what the CODE Model is or how it has worked for me, it may appear that it is something that I do but it is not. In all ways, in every way, this is how I now move through my world. Whether with family, friends or clients, this is it.
Although I’m sure that it could be used as a diagnostic tool, it is so much more than that. And why would anyone use it to diagnose when you can get to the root cause of health issues and watch them disappear. If used as a diagnostic tool, you’ll find that it ends up not being as useful because then it becomes limited in it’s effects.

I place no limitations on what I can, or anyone else can accomplish with the CODE Model when it simply becomes a way of life. If used as a tool you make it limited.

As I said in the beginning, I offer several services that I can use when interacting with clients and the one that I find to be most beneficial is CODE (Creation Out of Deep Energy) Model Coaching™. (Again, this is not something I do rather it is who I am).

There have been so many things that I have learned through this body of knowledge and underlying it all is the CODE Model™.

One of the most important things that I had to learn was who I am in the world. Although this may sound silly, when was the last time that you took a look at yourself and considered this?
Who are you?

I could tell you that I was a wife, a mother a banker which if you pay ~ attention to makes you out to be someone out there and each being separate from the other.
So I had been acting a different way when representing each person above as though I were three separate beings when in fact I’m only one. The programs enabled me to step back into myself and allow myself to be seen as a whole person. And most importantly, allowed me to see myself and discover who I truly am in the world.

What I noticed as I became more aware of who I am in the world, the clients that I saw I started to have a better understanding of where they were coming from when they spoke. And the only way I could hear and have an understanding of that, is by me knowing who I am.

As I share this I realize that although my intention is to have you understand what I’m trying to say, it may be lost in the words. This may help.
Whether I’m at home with my family or with friends or with a client, out grocery shopping or whatever, I am no different because I stay present to myself.
Only doing what is meaningful or fun and nothing else.

The biggest challenge as I sit here reflecting upon how I truly stepped into myself and discovered who I am in the world, had to be when I started to get honest with myself. Being honest to all those around me was not an issue for me, but being honest with myself, was. Why this is important is because as I came to understand that, I also understood my clients.

With an understanding of the CODE Model™, I’m able to work with clients so that they are able to get to the root cause of their health issues.
To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing out there that comes even close to what can be accomplished with this. As much as this is my way of living, it has become clear to me that it is a way of engaging with clients so that they’re able to regain their health.

The CODE Model™ takes the fear out of the dis-ease or dis-comfort happening in the body. This enables the client to relax into themselves and pay attention to their own body and the messages that are being sent rather than sitting in fear or looking to someone or something outside of them to “fix” them.

What I’ve experienced or witnessed of my clients has been amazing. The CODE Model™ is very complete in its way of providing a person a starting point to where a dis-ease has started and where it is moving. Engaging in deep conversation in this manner and listening to the words that the client is using helps you tap into the underlying cause so that you can lead with a few question which enables the body to move information/emotions to create space in the body. Through this process, the tissue in the body can actually change.

I have witnessed a client that had a mass (tumor in the allopathic world), have the mass actually disappear after engaging in a coaching session within three weeks of seeing me.
Now interesting enough about three months later when there was what they described as chaos in their life, the mass reappeared. The client came back in for coaching and we discovered together how they were allowing the chaos to be created in their life.

You see, the CODE Model brings it back to the individual so that they are able to see and claim what has been going on and witness that we are indeed the ones that are creating our own illness without realizing it.

By a client simply telling you what is going on in their bodies, you’re able to know right away whether it is something that has to do with the past, now or the future. Then everything moves quite quickly in the body and the information starts to flow and memories that may have been suppressed for many years surface and then the client is able to name and claim it and then the issues are no longer issues and tissue changes.

I had a client that had heart problems for years and now hasn’t had any problems with the heart since we had a coaching session.

The CODE Model™ is the only thing that I have ever used when working with a client when the obvious isn’t present. Meaning the client has the “symptoms” and yet exercises, eats right and in general has a healthy life style. So if I chose to work only through nutrition, I would become very limited in what I could offer a client and it would become a guessing game and possibly suggestion would be made that weren’t truly a benefit to the client.
So it’s clear that the client has real stomach pains, numbness in the hands, soar throats or how about a cold that never goes away? They are all very real “symptoms.” I’ve even experienced myself what appeared to be a very irritated throat that went on for months. The doctors had me do all kinds of tests without ever figuring out what was causing it…and had me try different prescriptions that made absolutely no difference at all.

Well let me tell you with the CODE Model™ that is no longer an issue. With The CODE Model™ I don’t need to know what a client has been diagnosed with because it really doesn’t matter. It’s never about what it’s about. Meaning, it’s not about the cold that won’t go away. It’s not about the rash that appears out of no where. So if that’s the case, then what is it about? The only thing out there that will take you to the root cause of whatever it is that is ailing you, so that you can regain your health is, “The CODE Model™.”

Some parent’s call to ask if they can bring their young child in for Bio-Energetic Testing because the child is showing some sort of a symptoms and they hold the belief is that the child may have food sensitivities. I suggest that CODE Model™ Coaching with the mother will be what will make a difference and this is why. When it comes to children that are ill, it is clear to me that the mother (and yes both parents but the mother because she is the one that carried the child for nine months), is the key to discovering what are the underlying causes of the child’s health issues.
And what the mother (parents) discover is that whatever had taken place even prior to conception and during gestation, leaves an impact on the child. So when the mother/father become aware and engage differently with the child, they are actually able to see for themselves how the “symptoms” or “dis-ease” that the child was diagnosed with starts to lessen and then disappear.
So by having coached mom I have witnessed the results of children that have been labeled as having “stress disorders,” “borderline ADHD” return to a happy, healthy child and of course the parents are delighted and are aware how the child’s surrounding environment was impacting their child and them as well.

Because of the way the CODE Model™ works, it takes so many things into consideration and the results are undeniable.
There are no rituals or techniques involved which is rather nice because of this, I know for myself that this is why the CODE Model™ works. It’s a different conversation from person to person. No one is the same so there is not a set of questions to be asked, you simply get “curious” only with what presents itself.

There is no stress involved for the client. We engage in conversations that are about a “treasure hunt.” And the treasure that the client finds is the cause of their health issues. It’s about playing and going into the unknown and having no idea what will be found as opposed to attempting to make everyone fit into a category/label whether they fit there or not.

We are all unique and our truth is unique to us. So by clearly listening, the clients provides you with their information by sharing their experience, (the popcorn trail that leads to their health issues) and you just simply go with what is there for them. What is there for one person, is not the same thing that will be there for the next person. Even though a person may have the same diagnoses as another, the information that presents itself is different every time because of our uniqueness.

So no matter what the situation whether it be health issues of any sort, from children to adults or whether it’s individuals looking for something more in life, the CODE Model™ is how I choose to engage.

I’ve worked with individuals and in small groups and again if you or your clients are looking for a result and you no longer can stand incremental change then (in my opinion) there is only one way to engage.

Out of 30 or more individuals that I have engaged with in this manner, there has been one that openly admitted that they weren’t ready for a change. The rest of the clients have seen results and are happy with their health and life.

Seeing peoples lives change and them knowing what truly lights them up inside cannot really be described in words.
Seeing people who have had health issues for years and witness them regaining their health and their lives, for that there are no spoken words either.
Seeing the face of children that have had health issues and seeing their parent from a state of despair to indescribable joy…for that there are no words.
For the individuals whose lives have changed because they’ve discovered how strong and capable they truly are, again….there are no words.

With what I’ve witnessed and what I know that the CODE Model™ is capable of, I will never look at illness the same way again nor do will I ever consider any individual as being limited in their resources.
There is nothing happening inside of our bodies that anyone out there can fix for us.
There is nothing happening in our lives that anyone outside of us can be responsible for.
We have created it and it is of our own doing.

The CODE Model™ brings everything that happens in our body or with our life and has us pay attention to our bodies. So by bringing it back to the individual who has created it, they (and I) can start to see the genius in what we have created because there is a benefit to it or we wouldn’t have done it.
I know that for myself, the CODE Model™ is the only thing capable of accessing information and allowing for very quick transformation.
The transformation can be of the tissue or in the lives of individuals who have simple felt that there life was at a dead end or on pause and they were searching for what was going to give them that “something more in life.”

If you’re looking for incremental change then be aware that this is not something to be “played” with. This is fast, fun and exciting and not only for the person that you’re engaging with but for you as well.
Being part of the process with clients has propelled my life forward. Each and every client that I see has been a gift and an invitation for my own growth and evolution, not only theirs.
So they come to see me and their lives grow forward and I grow as well.
In the past years of working with a variety of modalities to change/improve health, life or both, nothing has ever been two sided like this. The CODE Model™ goes far beyond any expectations that I have ever had when working with client and nothing and I mean nothing can compare to it.

This is a way of living for me as well as what I do with/for clients. It has changed my life and theirs in all and every aspect. There simply is no other way for me to consider my life or anyone else’s or I’d be limiting them and myself.

Since I’ve been engaging like this, I have discovered that it truly is an abundant universe. If you’re looking for much of the same, then I suggest the CODE Model™.
