No. Somatic Thinking is its own original methodology, with its own philosophical roots, not a translation or adaptation of Western somatic coaching. It comes from a tradition that never split the body from ethics. Where some approaches treat the body as a sensation to manage, we work with thoughts, bodily sensations, and behaviour together, so they correct one another and awareness rises. The resemblance is on the surface; the foundation is different.

Yes, and the evidence is well established. ICF studies report roughly 86% of companies recouped their investment in coaching (around three times the spend), 70% of individuals saw improved work performance, and 80% reported greater self-confidence. In our own practice, across thousands of sessions, working with the mind and body together is where we see people reach their breakthroughs.

No. Somatic Thinking is an inclusive, universal methodology open to everyone, of any background or belief. It is built from a deep intellectual and human heritage, but it is not a religious method, and it is never marketed as one. Lived practice and human science lead; heritage stands as a corroborating witness, not a requirement.

No. We work with concrete, observable bodily sensations and behaviour, not auras, energy fields, or anything you can’t actually feel and verify. The claims are grounded in lived practice and in embodied-cognition and interoception research, not in metaphysics.

Yes. The live online cohorts belong to the same program, accredited by ICF, the International Coaching Federation, at Level 1 and Level 2, and Kun's certificate shows that you completed it, whichever room you were in. The credential recognised worldwide, the ACC, PCC or MCC, is granted to you by ICF when you apply and meet its requirements.

Each level lists its own hours, format, and enrolment terms. The journey is modular: you can stop, rest, and resume, and everything compounds. For refund and cancellation specifics, see our policy.

The ACC after 100 documented coaching hours (75 of them paid, with at least 8 clients, and 25 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply) and the PCC after 500 (450 paid, at least 25 clients, and 50 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply); ICF alone grants them, after your application and its exam. Your accredited education for applying for the ACC is the Level One certificate (104 hours), and for the PCC the Level Two certificate (138 hours or more, Your Method among them). Mentor coaching and the final evaluation are inside the program.

The whole path ↑

They come from two different hands. Kun's certificate shows that you completed an education program accredited by ICF: the Coach Education Certificate (104 hours), the Your Method completion certificate (138 hours), the Level Two certificate printing a larger total, or a Certificate of Partial Completion for a part you finished. The ICF credential (ACC, PCC or MCC) is a personal credential that ICF grants to you after you apply with your coaching hours and pass its exam. You need the first to apply for the second on the program route, and only ICF can grant the second.

Every milestone you complete stays yours as a Certificate of Partial Completion from Kun, showing its hours: 6 for An Introduction to Somatic Thinking, 92 for the Individual Coaching Foundation, 6 for Your Identity, and its own hours for each branch you finish. Each milestone certificate also shows how its hours divide between ICF's Core Competencies and Resource Development: the first two milestones count as Core Competencies, Your Identity as Resource Development. The Foundation certificate is issued on request if you have not yet completed Your Identity or the final evaluation. A coach who holds an ICF credential may submit it toward credential renewal; ICF decides what it accepts. It is a certificate for part of an accredited program, and it carries no ICF mark. Your hours also stack: after the three milestones and a passed final evaluation you receive the Level One certificate (104 hours), and when you add a branch you receive the Level Two certificate once, printing your total. The Family and Couples branch comes after Group Coaching. Certificates of Partial Completion on their own do not qualify you to apply for the ACC, because ICF asks for the whole program.

No. ICF alone grants the ACC, PCC and MCC, to the coach who applies and meets its requirements. ICF accredits our program, and Kun issues the certificate that shows you completed it. What Kun gives you is the accredited education, 10 hours of mentor coaching (3 one to one) and the final evaluation, together with that certificate. The coaching hours, the application, ICF's fees and the ICF exam are yours to complete with ICF, in your own time.

Our program appears in ICF's directory under two listings: Level 2 at 256 hours, and Level 1 at 79 hours, which are the hours of its original accreditation in 2018. Your Method, 138 hours, is a path inside the Level 2 accreditation, and the update of Level 1 to 104 hours is with ICF for review. The 104 and 138 hour figures are ours, so please check the listings yourself. The program appears there as Somatic Thinking Coach Education by KUN Coaching Academy, and the directory does not show the Arabic name.
