Therapist Academy is a support hub for holistic, spiritual, and wellbeing solopreneurs who want to grow their practice and make a positive impact in the world through their services.
Having worked in healthcare now for over thirty years, I have come to realise that there are three key areas which stop healing practitioners from starting or growing their own wellbeing practice, aligning with their authentic life purpose, and helping more people with their services.
I call these the three pillars, and they are the foundation on which the Academy is built. They are:
Healing practitioners are susceptible to experiencing chronic stress as a result of the type of work that they do. Over the long-term this can result in associated stress-related health conditions like chronic fatigue, pain, illness, or burnout. As an accredited specialist practitioner, I have been supporting people with exhaustive conditions for over a decade now, and helping healers to optimise their long-term wellbeing.
Mindset is also a significant issue. Many healing practitioners feel a deep-seated calling to make more of a difference in the world, but are not aligned with what they feel to be their fullest potential. This problem is often rooted in unhelpful personal beliefs, habits, patterns of thought, or deep seated emotional responses which are still running your life. It is quite possible to change these dynamics with the right support.
The third area that I often see heart-centred practitioners struggle with is navigating the practical aspects involved with running your own practice. This is usually due to either being mis-aligned with the right purpose, niche, or services. Not knowing about the essential business skills that you need to have in place as a solopreneur. Or feeling overwhelmed with setting up, managing, and growing your wellbeing practice.
Having completed over ten years of full-time study at university level, I have a strong belief that it is a combination of knowledge and support that is most important in allowing us to help others more effectively. This combination also allows us to simultaneously undo much of the conditioning that we have experienced in life, to become more empowered, and to step into the work we were born to do. It is a journey of self-realization.
So, my programmes aim to be different because they are not just based upon the accumulation of more knowledge.They are also based upon the embodiment of learning, and the letting go of that which does not align with our own experience and truth.
My qualifications to support practitioners on this path include being an accredited practitioner in exhaustive conditions, including CFS, ME, and burnout. Almost twenty years working as a self-employed therapist and coach. Plus three decades helping people to transform their mindset and habits.
My intention for providing mentorship for healing practitioners is to make more of a difference in the world by working together.
As an experienced health coach, holistic therapist, and health practitioner, I have been dealing with the ups and downs of providing health support for other people for a long time. Following a change in my personal circumstances, I now feel the time is right to follow my own calling, and to support the new generation of coaches, therapists, and healers who are looking for some support for optimising their own life, health, and practice.
Overall, I have combined my qualifications, experiences, and interests to provide three specific types of support for the healers journey: coaching for embodied wisdom, resources for holistic health, and mentorship for healers.
The pathway here in the Academy is mentorship support. As outlined above, my aim is to provide support for three things:
I work with heart-centred wellbeing service providers from all backgrounds and modalities, who provide therapeutic services for other people.
As an advocate for a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, I am best aligned with holistic therapists, spiritual workers, life and health coaches, bodyworkers, and people who appreciate the importance of a synergistic approach to wellness.
I also work with anyone who provides some form of health and wellbeing service for the benefit of other people - either in a professional or voluntary capacity.
What is perhaps most important is not the modality that you are qualified in, but the approach that you have towards what you do.
I work with people who have a heart-centred approach to their practice, who are supporting others, and trying to make a difference in the world. Individuals who want to make a living doing meaningful work, and who feel a calling to a higher purpose in life.
Created by an experienced and qualified coach, holistic therapist, philosopher, and health professional.
Based on principles of mindful awareness, connection with others, and being of service in the world.
Focuses on a holistic approach to wellbeing, and producing high quality services for mind-body health.
Built upon the healers journey. Optimising own health, mindset, and purpose through meaningful services.
My services fall into two main types: 1-1 consultations and the Academy subscription. Ideally they both work best when combined together, as each has a different purpose.
My 1-1 consultations offer individualised support and guidance. They can be used for any of the three pillars: health, mindset, or service.
In these sessions, we explore your specific situation, develop more insights into why it is problematic for you, create an action plan for moving forward, and support you through the process. This could be around any topic from struggling with exhaustion, to not feeling on the right track with your purpose, feeling stuck at the prospect of changing career, or setting up your practice.
I work on the principle of providing ethical services, and I am not someone who tries to manipulate people into joining a programme which is not right for them. So, with this mind, you can either book an individual session, or join a regular coaching programme to fit around what works best for your your own personal situation.
My intention for setting up the Academy subscription is to provide an affordable collection of resources which will help authentic, caring, and empathic service providers to help more people through their work. It is based on the same three pillars as my 1-1 consultations, but the focus is on accessing a library of resources so that you can work through the process mostly by yourself. Whilst there will be some access to group support if you need it, this will not usually be as intensive or personalised as my 1-1 sessions.
So, this subscription will eventually include a comprehensive library of on-demand resources. For now, I am in the process of setting up the Academy, and in the spirit of just getting started, I am looking for a small group of heart-centred practitioners to join me on the journey whilst it evolves and grows.
As a subscriber, you will immediately get access to a collection of practical workbooks, exercises, and other useful tools. Plus regular live office hours sessions, and an online Q & A forum for anyone who is not able to make these sessions. Plus, as a bonus, you will also get all the additional courses, videos, and articles which will be added during your active subscription.
