our heroine begins her journey as a victim with a disintegration of her identity, relationships or dreams. this is a lonely and confusing beginning. she is a seed in the ground, decomposing.
from here she rises into awareness . she lifts her head and readies herself to receive support and strength for her struggle. there is hope for a new beginning.
with loving guidance she moves into experience and takes on new action. she watches herself show up differently in her life, with new decisions and choices. she begins to come alive.
with time, she touches transcendence, the grateful awareness to god for the journey. she recognizes the hard-earned lessons that have made her who she is today. her heart heals and she is filled with purpose, contribution and wisdom.
redemption is when our heroine not only heals, but becomes all that she is meant to be. she is filled with self-love and vitality as she has found her path, found her power and found god’s love for her. she has softness and strength, she is honest and compassionate. she becomes a guide to the next woman on her heroic journey.
the redemption ladder is based on universal principals learned from our exodus from egypt. the pain of our history is the birthing place of our greatest light.
get trained as a transformation life coach and awaken the heroic guide within. help women on a spiritual and emotional journey to their most powerful selves.
I was led to different teachers and slowly, my approach evolved. It was a blend of all the incredible lessons I’d learned, along with my own passion for seeing people flourish.
During this time, I began to run Redemption Retreats. The extended length of these retreats and the diversity of my staff allowed us to use all of the modalities at once. The results were amazing. Every Retreat was a three-day long song of growth. At the heart of it all, however, it was the unconditionally accepting atmosphere and the space of emunah/faith that held the miracles.
Following the Retreat, many participants experienced powerful growth, both through the Retreat work and through their follow-up coaching. They were on fire. They became ready to help others.
It was time to open Rivka Malka’s School of Coaching and Transformation.
TLC, Transformation Life Coaching is changing who you are by changing what you do.
Here’s the plan.
Your coach will give you support and encouragement as you articulate a vision and create a plan to see it through. She is here to nurture your latent strengths, believe in you and hold a wide open space for anything to happen.
She is your guide towards healing, self – love and celebration of your life and strengths.
Uncover your blocks and process through the feelings that created them.
As you change, so will your relationships. Discover the peace within yourself and watch the ripple effects as you gain skills and knowledge.
Get accountability for the goals you set. Start producing like never before. Watch yourself take control of your life choices. Have a personal cheerleader!
As you are compassionately supported for being you, you will experience an awakening of self love and acceptance.
Blast through fear or resistance and gain tools, knowledge and confidence to move your life forward.
Become intimately aware of the unique nature of your gifts and how you are meant to serve in the world.
NOTE: Being that we are ICF accredited only as a PCC program, and not the lower level ACC Program, there is a difference between the way you would apply for a PCC Certification the way you would apply for an ACC Certification. When applying for your PCC certification, you will submit your program certificate (not the diploma, but rather a certificate that the school will provide you with, which states that you graduated from our Level 2 program with all its requirements). You will enter the number of your coaching hours in your application. Once the application review process is complete, you will take the ICF Credentialing Exam. This exam is different than the exam that the school administers. It is specifically from the ICF and we do not administer this exam. In short, the 3 main things you need for the PCC Certification process are the coaching certificate, the required coaching hours, and passing the ICF Credentialing Exam.
If you are applying for the ACC Certification, being that we are not accredited as an ACC program, you would have to apply through the ICF ACSTH Path of Certification. Please be directly in touch with the ICF if you are applying for the ACC certification. In the meantime, you can refer to this link for more of an explanation: https://coachingfederation.org/credentials-and-standards/credentials-paths/acc-credential

The coach certification training meets on Sundays and Mondays.
The following is included in the training:
20 live Zoom classes on Mondays. These Zoom classes are 2 and a half hours each. The classes are from 1:00 – 3:30 PM EST. (If there are enough students interested in 8:00 – 10:30 PM EST classes, we would take that into consideration. However, as of now, we are only offering the 1:00 – 3:30 PM EST classes.)
25 pre-recorded lessons averaging approximately half an hour each
22 pre-recorded sample coaching sessions
20 hours working with Coaching Buddies. Coaching Buddies take place in the final hour of the Monday Zoom classes. After one and a half hours of everyone being together on Zoom, the students then get divided up into groups of 2 or 3 (in Zoom breakout rooms) to practice coaching with each other.
6 Observed Coaching Sessions for each student. These coaching sessions will take place in a group setting that is no larger than 10 people. Each student will receive written feedback for four out of the six sessions. The groups will meet over nine Sundays for two hours each. There will be a choice between joining a group starting at 11:00 AM EST or 1:30 PM EST. If additional groups are needed, we will arrange another time slot for them.
10 Mentor Coaching hours for each student. Seven out of the 10 mentor coaching hours will be done in a group setting. The groups will meet over nine Sundays for two hours each. Three out of the 10 mentor coaching hours will be done one-on-one with Rivka Malka.
Once a month Deep Dives – These immersive classes are a deep dive into specific coaching tools or healing subjects. They are 4 1/2 hours each. The Deep Dives involve a full, hands-on exploration that brings our coaches to true expertise. Topics include:
The Healing Model, Perspectives, Saboteur, Life Mission, Process Work, and Business and Marketing Training.
Four and a half hour Workshop at the end of the first module.
Four and a half hour Graduation/workshop at the end of the 2nd module.
Each student gets an online “Coaching Accountability Form” to keep track of their coaching.
There are various resources that come as part of the course. They include videos, articles, documents, and more. These resources are on the course page of the Coaching School.
There is a Private WhatsApp group for all of the Coaching School students to discuss ideas, celebrate victories, ask questions, share, and learn more.
A final Performance Evaluation will be administered to each graduating student. The final performance evaluation contains an actual observation of coaching at least one half-hour to one hour in length. Students will receive written feedback/scoring for their performance evaluation that provides information regarding their performance on each of the ICF Core Competencies.
Please read the other FAQs to see what else is needed for either ICF certification or our own CTLC certification.
At the end of each (approximately) 3 month semester, there will be an Extended Immersive Workshop on Zoom. This workshop is an amazing experience of fun, growth, learning, self-discovery, and more. The Extended Immersive Workshop is the culmination and integration of all the growth and learning of each module. In these online workshops, we journey together through a series of powerful personal exercises. It’s a celebration of your transformation!
Our Advanced Coach Training with Certification Track has 128 contact hours.
To understand this more, here is a quote from the ICF website defining what contact hours are. “Contact hours: Clock hours spent in synchronous (real-time) interactions between faculty and participants and asynchronous or clock hours spent outside of real-time interaction between faculty and participants. Synchronous contact hours can include time spent in direct instruction, real-time discussions, observation and feedback or practice coaching sessions, and mentoring participants. Asynchronous contact hours can include outside reading, writing, research, journaling, practice coaching and various other activities that may occur outside of the synchronous setting.”
Our 128 contact hours are made up as follows:
Yes. This probing training will stretch your skills at whatever level you are at. We have had many therapists and classically trained coaches tell us that despite their previous experience they learned entirely new approaches at the Coaching School. We are proud to say that one of the most common feedback we receive from our students is that out of all the many training programs they attended, this one was the best. Our goal is to continue making it better and better.
Rivka Malka is trained in CoActive coaching through CTI – The Co-Active Training Institute. In addition, she is trained in Somatic Work, Inner Child Work, and Business Coaching.
Our training is experiential. Although we do not always quote text outright, please be advised that everything we teach is deeply rooted deeply in Torah sources. Some of these include The Ramchal, Chovos Halevavos, Meslias Yesharim, and Rebbi Nachman, as well as more contemporary sources like the Aish Kodesh, Nesivos Shalom, and the Alai Shor.
Along with your coaching resources, you will receive the Torah sources for these ideas straight from the text. You will love seeing these powerful truths in black and white.
The school is for women only, so we do not accept men into the program. Our prerequisite for enrollment is that the student is female and that they are 18 years old and above. However, we do reserve the right in certain instances, to not allow for specific potential participants to join the course. For example, if we feel that the course would not be good, healthy, or safe for someone, or we feel that they would not be a good fit with the other students in the course, we exercise our right to not allow that person to join. We also reserve the right to remove any student from a course if they are having a deeply negative impact on the rest of the participants or on the learning environment.
Depending on what the homework is, the school will let you know if it is optional or not. The important thing to remember is that homework is our suggestion about how you can deepen your knowledge and growth. To get the most out of the training, it is in your best interest to do all the homework.
You do not need to be Jewish to attend the school. We welcome women of all faiths in our school. We stand deeply in the simple truth that we are all children of one G-d. The Torah values of the school create a kind, non-judgmental environment where women from all walks of life can learn from one another.
Rivka Malka teaches both the pre-recorded lessons and the live Zoom classes.
Rachel Wormeli, our school administrator, joins many of the Zoom classes and assists in the planning, teaching, and technical aspects of the class.
Debbie Grusd joins for some of the Zoom classes and is also involved with helping with the student coaching supervision.
You will receive a welcome email that contains all the information you need to know to be part of the school. The email also includes links to the school WhatsApp group, a short questionnaire, a form with the school confidentiality agreement, and other agreements. You will also have access to the first 3 introductory classes and the first lesson of the first module (Foundations 1). Those classes should be watched before the first live online Zoom class.
Yes. It is very important that the students feel safe to share and know that their information will remain private. It is also important for the school to be a safe and comfortable atmosphere for everyone. Students agree to have appropriate conduct which is in line with the values of the school. There are a few other items in the agreement. We created a Google Form with all the agreements. The form also has a small questionnaire regarding the upcoming training. It is as simple as just putting your basic information in, answering a few questions, clicking “I agree” and submitting it.
For the CTLC Certification, any coaching you do that is real coaching is counted as part of your 60 hours. Real coaching means that it is not just a regular conversation, it is a coaching session using the coaching tools. If you are doing real coaching in the breakout rooms during the Monday night live Zoom calls, you can keep track of that time and use it towards your 60 hours. If you coach someone in a public setting (let’s say in front of the class) during the Zoom call, you can count that as part of your 60 hours.
Please see the FAQs about ICF accreditation to learn more about what the ICF requires for their coaching hours.
As part of the coach certification training, there is a full “deep dive” Sunday where four and a half hours are dedicated to learning about business practices. This is in addition to a pre-recorded class about business, a Monday Zoom class, and various other teachings that occur during the rest of the training.
Examples of some of the topics that we cover are working with and collaborating with other professionals, payments, creating designed alliances with your clients, cancelations, how to advertise, basic marketing, resources for building a webpage, how to price yourself, when to refer out, what are red flags, boundaries, how to open and close a session, and more.
Rivka Malka has been helping women step into their leadership for years. She created the Fun&Done Business Course and has abundant expertise and passion in helping women thrive. The Fun&Done Business Course goes in-depth on how to start a business, run a business, market yourself and find clients. Most importantly, Rivka Malka teaches how to make your coaching business a reflection of your own tafkid/purpose.
Although Rivka Malka did begin training students in person, currently, the school is fully online.
The pre-recorded classes and the other resources are all online at rivkamalka.com. The live classes are all done on Zoom. In addition, we use Google Sheets and Google Docs for different purposes such as the Coaching Accountability Forms and the Final Exam.
At this time, we are not able to accept partial course credit from other organizations or programs. Even if you have completed a Level 1 program, you must enroll for the entirety of a Level 2 program. Individuals with questions about this process should contact the school by emailing theredemptionschool@gmail.com.
There are 2 semsters in the program. Each semester is approximately 3 months.
Live Zoom classes are on Mondays from 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST.
Additionally, Deep Dives, Immersive Extended Workshops, Mentorship, and Supervision take place on Sundays.
Please refer to the other FAQs for the full schedule.
The pre-recorded classes contain the core material of the coaching tools you will be using. Each one is targeted at a different topic and tool. They are mindfully and intentionally planned. In following all of the rules of the ICF, our school is required to keep track of every student making sure that all of the pre-recorded classes are watched as part of their curriculum.
Note: Most classes are only half an hour long. Generally, this is the only “homework” requirement that you will have during the week. And good news… our students enjoy them!
Each semester has at least 10 pre-recorded video classes and at least 10 live online Zoom classes. The pre-recorded classes teach the core information and tools about a subject.
The live online class goes deeper into explaining and exploring that subject.
The live online class will be a lively interactive class including live coaching demonstrations, coaching observation and feedback, different exercises, answering any questions, understanding the tools and teachings and lots of self-discovery.
During the Zoom classes, everyone attending must have their video turned on. This is the required level of participation.
If there is an emergency that does not allow you to have your video turned on, we ask that you please let the school know in advance so we can be sensitive to your needs.
There is no option to sign up for just one semester.

We understand that there is a great deal of unknown when starting something new. We encourage you to do your research before enrolling – and ask any questions you may have. We can also set you up with past students as references. Should a true life emergency arise we will save your spot for the next semester of The Coaching School and apply your payments there.

We can not give any concrete answer about taxes. You must consult with your accountant or tax advisor. However, there is a good chance that it is tax deductible based on Treas. Reg. 1-162-5 which states that all expenses of continuing education undertaken to maintain and improve business and professional skills are tax deductible.
“Rivka Malka really helps you find that love and that self-acceptance that Hashem really wants you to have in order for you to be able to fulfill your life’s purpose“
-MRS RUTHI LYNN
“Coaching has been so incredible for me. We connect on Mondays and this really helps me focus for the upcoming week, as well as reflect on how I’d like to make changes or improve certain areas. Rivka Malka has an incredible listening ear and I truly value the clarity that she brings to whatever I happen to be working on at the moment. ”
