The Training Was Only the Beginning.
In 2009, Crystal Andrus Morissette founded The S.W.A.T. Institute and created the original Master Empowerment Coach Certification — a training so far ahead of its time it helped shape an entire field for women. In the years that followed, she created the Empowerment Coach Certification as well: a focused, fast-tracked path into the very heart of the work — empowerment coaching itself.
But Crystal is a woman who refuses to stand still. As the world changed, so did what women needed: fresh, live coaching calls with Crystal every week, a clear and confident scope of practice, and a modern business model built so women actually succeed and make real money. So in 2021 she rebuilt everything from the ground up. Richer, deeper, and more alive than ever before.
Today, the Empowerment Coach Certification lives inside the reborn Master Empowerment Coach Certification (MECC) — a live, women-only, chakra-aligned, body-based certification in coaching mastery and business mastery, together. Weekly live calls with Crystal. A global sisterhood in 45+ countries. Over a journey that unfolds across a full year — with up to three years and lifetime access to keep growing — you don't just learn to coach. You become her: Woman Energy embodied, in body, mind, spirit, and business.
You graduate confident, calm, and ready — with the skills, the voice, and the real, income-earning business to represent this school and change women's lives. Our graduates are extraordinary women, in 45+ countries, doing work that matters.
This isn't another coaching course. It's a remembering. A reclamation. An invitation to become the woman — and the coach — you were always meant to be.
Body, mind, spirit, and business. Not a certificate you hang on a wall. An identity you grow into, and a real business that makes real money — so you feel confident, calm, and ready.
This is Woman Energy.
Are You a Woman Who Feels Called
to Make a Difference?
You've lived through things. You've learned from them. And somewhere inside you, there's a voice saying — this is what I'm here for.
You're passionate about women's empowerment and want a framework that goes deeper than any coaching course you've found.
You've done the personal growth work — and now you want to use what you've lived through to help other women rise.
You want a meaningful, flexible coaching business that makes real money and grows with you — on your own terms.
You're done with burnout models that tell you to push harder. You want empowerment that feels like coming home to yourself.
You're navigating perimenopause, midlife reinvention, divorce, loss — and you want a community of women who actually get it.
You're heading into your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond — and you're just getting started. Your most powerful chapter is still ahead.
The Empowerment Spectrum™
More than thirty years ago, Crystal created a living map of human behaviour that gave women a practical, compassionate language for the first time — not theory, but a living framework that explains why we act the way we do, and exactly how to move from pain to power.
No other coaching certification in the world can teach this. It belongs to Crystal — and now, to you.
© Crystal Andrus Morissette · The Empowerment Spectrum™
The reactive, wounded, searching part. She knows a great life is out there and she wants it — she just doesn't yet know how to reach it. Her selfishness leaves her feeling lost and alone.
The over-controlling, protecting part. Her selflessness turns to resentment, or collapses into exhaustion. She needs to learn how to mother her own inner child.
The fully integrated, empowered self — assertive, loving, peaceful, and free. When Daughter and Mother heal, the Real You emerges. This is who you become. This is who you help your clients become.
Coaching Mastery
+ Business Mastery.
Both. Together.
This is the complete Empowerment Process — grounded in eastern philosophy, energy work, and Crystal's 30+ years of real-world results. You don't just become a great coach. You build a thriving practice that earns real income doing work that is deeply, unapologetically yours.
Crystal's Empowerment Processes, Working With Parts™, and interventions for nearly any challenge a woman faces.
Niche, brand, voice, pricing, and the Millionaire Mastermind Series — everything to turn your calling into sustainable income.
The chakra system, colour psychology, and the Map of Consciousness — ancient wisdom made practical for modern women.
A live global sisterhood in 45+ countries. 50 real calls per year. Not a Facebook group — a home, for life.
Seven Modules. Seven Chakras.
One Complete Map.
Across 50 live classes each year, you journey through seven chakra-aligned modules — evolving in a spiral, not a straight line.
Sacred, embodied growth — awakening the woman within, refining the coach you are becoming, elevating every client you serve.
Reconnect with your body. Learn to feel your feelings fully, release what's lived in your nervous system for years, and meet the bold, brilliant woman beneath the masks. Before you can change lives, you have to meet your own. This is where self-doubt ends and self-trust begins.
Work with your most charged emotions — fear, desire, anger, pride — using the Map of Consciousness as your guide. Reclaim your creative power, your joy, your money, your will to live fully. Less conditioning, more consciousness. Less shame, more freedom.
You've done the inner work. Now you learn to guide your clients through real change — Crystal's three foundational coaching principles, her empowerment processes, and the interventions that work for nearly any dilemma a woman faces. Now it's time to step into your power.
Your life story is your greatest qualification. Discover the women you're meant to serve, build your vision with clarity and self-compassion, and learn how colour psychology and authentic love for your clients become your most powerful business tools.
You didn't come this far to stay hidden. Coach real clients, create irresistible offers, lead discovery calls, and grow your visibility without losing your authenticity. Build a brand that is unmistakably you. Stop sounding like every other coach. Sound like yourself.
Complete your 30 mentorship coaching calls, deepen your mastery, and integrate everything you've learned. This is where knowledge becomes wisdom, practice becomes embodiment, and confidence becomes certainty — and you begin to trust your intuition and own your gifts.
With your website, offers, systems, and vision in place, you graduate as a Master Empowerment Coach and step into a global sisterhood in 45+ countries. You didn't just earn a credential — you became someone new. The Alumnae Circle is a lifelong home for women who refuse to dim their light.

“This program is life-changing. I went from disempowered, lost and confused, to empowered, highly motivated and running two businesses within a year. I highly recommend this transformational program to any woman who wants to uplevel their coaching game and thrive in their work and life!”
“Signing up for the S.W.A.T. Institute's Empowerment Coach Certification is the best thing I have done for myself personally as well as professionally. I signed up to become a coach — what I didn't expect was that I was also signing up to become a better me. Not only do I feel prepared to build my business, but I feel prepared to live as my truest self. A good coach can only be as good as their truest self. Thank you, Crystal, and everyone at the S.W.A.T. Institute.”
“It was just one year ago I was blessed with finding The S.W.A.T. Institute when I was searching for something that aligned with my values and beliefs. Over the last year I have had the honor to complete the Empowerment Coach Certification and the 12-Week Emotional Edge Course. The knowledge, support, guidance, and love I have gained is indescribable and invaluable. I am beyond grateful I was led here, and on this lifelong journey.”
“At 32, I had a minor stroke and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, tremors, and fibromyalgia. I had seen every specialist under the sun, and all they could do was treat me with medicine. Then the S.W.A.T. Institute and I found each other, and I embarked on a healing journey I never knew existed. Not only am I healed from my past traumas — I am now a professional Empowerment Coach who helps women reach optimal health. The S.W.A.T. Institute changed and saved my life.”
“Investing in S.W.A.T. has been one of the most powerful acts I could do for myself — for my self-care, self-discovery, and self-healing. I love that I can do the course at my own pace and on my own terms. Managing my emotions and regulating my nervous system have helped me become a better Healthcare Professional, leader, visionary, and caregiver for my aging mother. I can now live my life from a more authentic and creative perspective, and make my dreams a reality. The SWAT sisterhood is a community I root into for support — and for others to cheer me on.”
“A year ago I was angry, frustrated, in pain, and exhausted. My life on the outside has not changed — but I changed. My light has been seen, recognized, and validated. I stared into my own eyes and said aloud, ‘Welcome back. You've been missed.’ I am so much more than meets the eye. I am all of me.”
“Before I met Crystal Andrus Morissette and the S.W.A.T. Institute, the field of coaching and self-growth was a mystery for me. With my Ph.D. in Microbiology and Natural Sciences and as a professional athlete — I competed in two Olympic Games — I was taught that our reality is determined by our five senses, and that life just happens to us.
Crystal's coaching really shook my way of thinking. I know now that we create our reality with our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs — and that every year additional layers are accumulated on our pure and authentic spirit. I realize now that only ‘I’ am in charge of my life. Crystal helped me remember who I really am, what my needs and deep desires are, and what fears were preventing me from having the life of my dreams. Starting to speak my truth has had a big impact on my life.
After completing the Master Empowerment Coach Certification, I told Crystal I learned more from this program than from all my years at university.”
Before “Women's Empowerment” Was a Buzzword, She Made It a Movement.
Crystal Andrus Morissette is the bestselling author of Simply…Woman! and Simply…EMPOWERED! (Hay House) and The Emotional Edge (Random House), featured on Oprah.com. For more than thirty years she has been redefining what empowerment actually means for women.
She moved out at fifteen and learned the hard way that no one was coming to save her — and that realization didn't harden her. It awakened her. From it she built Emotional Age™ and The Empowerment Spectrum™, a language for the three inner parts every woman carries: Daughter, Mother, and Woman Energy. No other coaching certification in the world teaches this.
In 2009 she founded The S.W.A.T. Institute — Simply Woman Accredited Trainer. Today there are graduates in 45+ countries, and it stands among the world's leading Empowerment Coach Certification schools for women. This work is personal. And if you're reading this, she believes you already know it's for you.
