Courses + Coaching

Combining 15 years of elite athlete coaching with a decade of mentoring and facilitation in the realms of personal, professional, creative & spiritual development, Chip Richards is called upon by artists, athletes, world-record adventurers, business leaders, wellness professionals and young people alike - to guide and mentor their journey into the genuine experience of their True SELF and higher calling in work, creativity and life.

Chip carries a fresh insight into the human spirit, a fundamental belief in the miracle potential within all moments of life and a passion for igniting the creative gifts of others.

Holistic Coaching

Chip’s coaching work is reminiscent of a modern vision quest, calling us to journey to the center of our TRUE SELF, and to infuse all aspects of our life, relationships and creative work with this higher sense of BEING. Merging ancient wisdom with the 'inner science' of transformative change, Chip's holistic approach to achievement and fulfillment takes a quantum leap beyond tradition into the expanded realms of human potential.

This work offers us the special gift of journeying into our own inner landscapes and the field of all possibilities… that we may emerge with clear energy, insight and a deep sense of Self… with an eagle’s view of what is possible, an empowered vision for where we are going and a great reverence for all of life.

It is through our own awareness and awakening that we effect an awakening in our world.

Chip works in person and via phone / video conferencing with clients all around the world.

Workshops, Retreats and Speaking Adventures

In 2005, Chip founded the 4th Dimension Holistic Life Coach and Leadership program – a program aimed at empowering leaders, visionaries and wellness professionals with a dynamic framework for living a physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually fulfilling life, while inspiring transformational change in others – from the inside out.

The 4th Dimension is a 3-6 month program experienced via live and recorded teleconference, combined with personal coaching and live retreats. This program and its offshoots has been shared with groups and individuals of all walks of life from many nations, and has initiated a wave of 4th Dimension Holistic Coaches and practitioners now sharing the work in a variety of forms across the globe. Currently Chip is working with various organizations to integrate a more holistic approach to wellness, fulfillment and higher meaning within the corporate arena.

In addition to the 4th Dimension work, Chip offers workshops and retreats on a variety of topics in Australia and abroad, with the fundamental aim of sharing the opportunity to experience and embody a more expansive sense of SELF, and in turn to bring a deeper sense of purpose and connection to all that we do and create in the world.

Chip’s personal statement of purpose with this work…

“In this time when we are so often defined by what we do, my aim is to help people initiate their actions in life and work from a higher state of BEING.

In this time of high technology and rapid pace of life, my aim is to help people slow down enough to reconnect with their own true nature and infinite creative capacities.

In this time when so much is changing on the surface of the world around us, my purpose is to help align people to the pulse of our living planet and the undimmable light within.

To open their hearts and minds to perceive the infinite possibilities and new opportunities rising and available to us now.

To remember how powerful we are when we breathe and move from our true center, and we come together for the higher good of all.”

- Chip Richards

Testimonials

Chip's deep life experience and his genuine connection with such a wide variety of leading-edge thinkers has put him in a unique position to assimilate, cross pollinate, and share inspiring visions for what is possible – in a way that engages the mind, expands the heart and enlivens the spirit of all those with whom he shares.

Perhaps Chip's greatest teaching is found in who he is as a person and how he walks his path in life. And while sharing his gifts, he has a special way of creating space for others to feel safe and inspired to truly shine and share theirs.”

Gary Gray

Founder, Functional Design Systems

“Chip Richard's is one of the people that actually lives their business. He embodies what he teaches with everything that he does. Chip has studied extensively around the world has taken all of this experience and years of training and channeled it through his 4th Dimension Holistic coaching program. Application of what is taught by Chip is empowering and life changing and he is one of a very few people that can teach this kind of information so that everyone can benefit from the message.

I work with many world renown authors and educators in the fitness world, and Chip is one of the top leaders in this area and continues to be living what he teaches, which is not something you see much of these days. Chip was talking and applying holistic thoughts and practices well before it was trendy to do so.”

“I have had the privilege of observing and sharing the concepts of Wellness and Holistic Health with Chip Richards. He shows a wide range of knowledge and the ability to put that information into action in a compassionate, effective manner. One of my great joys in teaching on the international level is being able to connect with someone like Chip and his family on a personal level as well. They have created a powerful vortex of positive energy that I have yearned for and find deeply satisfying.”

TESTIMONIALS FROM 4th Dimension Life and LEadership Program Participants

Taking this course with Chip as your guide is a Life changing experience. My eyes have been opened to current and future possibilities that never previously existed in my reality. Through Chip's guidance I am now aware of knowledge, insights and potentials within myself that have been here all along and it's really powerful stuff. Chip has coached me to become the conscious co-creator of my own reality and destiny.

This is the first time that I had ever attempted to do anything like this over a long distance and I feel that I learnt more about myself (therefore everything in my world) doing this long distance course than I have with any other further education course that I have taken (University degree included). I would recommend Chip Richards Holistic Life coaching courses to anyone that is ready to uncover a journey of self development and discovery that will profoundly affect themselves and all around them for the better.

I have to say it is the best experience I have ever had. The information is so on the money about where I am in my life and the possibilities of what is ahead. You are the light that makes me stay on point! I have never been involved with a program with such powerful meaning to transform ourselves as well as transform others…!

Keith Veri

Verified Fitness – Atlanta Georgia, USA

The training I received with Chip and the 4th Dimension team, quite literally, changed the course of my life, and therefore the lives of my clientele. In brief, I was masterfully taught the skills to become my authentic self and to let go of the beliefs and thought-patterns that did not serve my life or my professional goals. I was able to stop self-sabotage and allow myself to live in the moment and actually be happy now. When one approaches a goal with ease and peace of mind positive results are not only likely, they are inevitable!

Wendy Branchfield
4D Wellness Practitioner - Chicago, Illinois, USA

Participating in this course has changed the way that I view everything in life, myself, the world around me, and I now understand how we can use the power of the universe to help us to achieve whatever it is that we desire and how powerful the power of thought is in achieving this. I now appreciate much more how everything is connected. More than anything you have encouraged me to ‘be’ more instead of doing more. Thank you for your guidance, inspiration, understanding and above all else, for believing in me. Peace and Joy. Namaste.

I can only seem to sum the course up (which is a thought that may seem futile because the immensity of the learning and self exploration is beyond definition) in the way I felt a distinct migration in my daily experiences from:

Impossible to Limitless Possibility

Unconsciousness to Awareness

Difficulty to Effortlessness

Dead end road to the emergence of a New  Map

Lifeless humdrum to Magical  Inspiration

Trying to Being

Conditioned Thinking to  Child-like  Playing

Fear to Courage

The course departs from a familiar place, called the fitness industry or more specifically the paradigm of functional training and studies some of the challenges that face us as professionals daily. If what we already know is like the iceberg above the ocean, this course offers us the chance to go scuba diving into our own colorful and majestic ocean underworld. This is where we spend most of our time. Just as in the act of scuba diving, time seems to stand still as we explore the deeper workings of our behaviors and experiences.

Elaine Muir

4D Holistic Coach - Plus One, Los Gatos, California

To sum up the difference 4th Dimension has made in my life I'd say, I now understand that the only time to live is now. The peace, magic and excitement that comes with that knowledge is phenomenal! Everything is just so much more rich, fun and enjoyable.

Penny Beale

4D Holistic Coach - London , UK

The 4th Dimension tools have allowed me to look deeply into my self, and encourage others towards un-traveled roads to reveal paths of their own unlimited potentials. This work has allowed me to be free in so many ways of the mind/body/spirit, to see goals instead of just setting them, and to bring the true 4th Dimension realities to my clientele. Their curiosity followed by dedication into this dimension has been most rewarding. Truly, there are no boundaries limiting what the mind/body/spirit can obtain.

Lisa Michelle Hoffman

AIM Sports Medicine, Los Angeles, California, USA

I did not really know what to expect from your program when I signed up but, I got soooo much out of it and more than I ever imagined; actually I couldn't even have imagined.   One of the coolest things I experienced thoughout the process and through the literature and teleconferences was hearing and/or reading things I've said and believed in the past and bringing them back to the forefront of my mind. It is truly amazing how things work in this life.

Michael Bonnetti

Atlanta, Georgia

I’ve been searching for something for most of my life. Occasionally, I find little pieces of it, but until I found and took part in the 4th Dimension Holistic Life Coach Training program, I could never put it all together. Now something really significant happened… The Holistic Life Coach Training program gave me the tools for my spiritual maturity and my physical wholeness that changed my life both in the professional and personal aspects.

My specials thanks to Chip and Lisa and all the other guests that have participated in that course, for to helping me to find myself, with your patience and kindness.

It has been a great pleasure and honor to be part of this amazing and awesome course and to walk beside all of you MASTERS.

I now deeply understand something that Chip shared with us in the beginning of the program… “It is through our own awareness and awakening that we effect an awakening in our world.”

With my modesty and deep gratitude,

This has been and incredible journey of self-discovery, an inside inquiry that has far surpassed my expectation of the course. It has ignited my passion to continue the journey to know myself first, then take the information out into my work as a trainer and Thai Massage practitioner.
If you feel that something is missing in your work with your clients or not getting by roadblocks, this may be your long awaited answer. I highly recommend that you take this journey and discover a new way at looking at life and your clients.

I'm loving the class - so much information, so many new things to

consider, so many ways to work it into what I'm doing with clients. I love the parallel to the Functional Movement paradigm… and to explore both the external and internal aspects of each. This class has been so much more than I anticipated and I just can't tell you how much it's opened my eyes to the possibilities! It's also especially important to have others who are embarking on the same journey 'surrounding' you because there is such a presence of unconsciousness all around us that it feels overwhelming at times. Thanks!

When I first contacted Chip I told him that I loved my work as a personal trainer but that I was “looking for something more” both professionally and personally. Through the Functional Integrated Life Coaching mentorship program, Chip guided me to discover that “something more” ten times over. He taught me to uncover and to listen to my “true self”, to dream big and to have the confidence and courage to follow those dreams. He helped me to find “something more” not only in terms of my future career path, but also in my current relationships with clients, family and friends which are now much richer and often on a whole new level. I have also found greater connection and flow in my everyday life. Equally as important, Chip has taught me the mental tools to continue this incredible journey for a lifetime. For those who are looking for that “something more“ in their lives or in their work (or both!), the Functional Integrated Life coaching program will help them to find it!

Working with Chip has been a mind-blowing and truly AWESOME experience!
