Holistic Health Programmes

Therapist Academy is a learning hub for wellbeing service providers who want to know more about holistic health, and to integrate mind-body therapies into their life and work.

The aim of the Academy is to help more people utilise the benefits of a holistic approach to health, from a grounded and evidence-based perspective.  

Our programmes are available for several types of people:

  • Holistic health practitioners who want to expand their professional skills
  • Individuals who have a genuine interest in exploring mind-body health therapies
  • Health and care providers who want to integrate simple practices into their work
  • People who want to use holistic health practices to improve their own wellbeing

Accessing high quality, ethical, holistic health programmes

The core principle of holistic health is that it encompasses many different aspects of wellbeing.

What tends to happen is that most practitioners become qualified initially in one aspect of health, and then they realise that their skillset needs to evolve in order to more fully embrace the principles of holism. So, they move on to learn about other aspects of health and wellness, until they have a collection of related qualifications under their belt, and they are more able to provide a fully comprehensive high quality service for their chosen area of expertise.

However, many of these courses can be very expensive, and whilst it is great to access plenty of learning opportunities, you do not really need to be paying out lots of money in order to maintain your professional insurance, nor to elevate your practice.

So, I have founded the Academy with the intention of providing affordable programmes for health and care providers, coaches, therapists, and spiritual workers who have a genuine desire to elevate their knowledge and insight about mind-body therapies, but who do not want to have to pay out extremely high fees in order to do so.

Essentially, I want health, care, spiritual, and wellbeing professionals to be able to more easily access a range of high quality and ethical services which will help to develop their skills and knowledge, support their practice, and help more people to lead healthier, happier lives.

Integrating Mind-Body Therapies into Your Healthcare Practice

Who do I work with?

Practitioners who join the Academy are typically heart-centred people who are seeking to fulfil a higher purpose in life, and who want to make a difference in the world through their work.  As an advocate of an integrated approach to health, I appreciate that healing practitioners come in many different varieties, and offer a wide range of therapeutic services. With this in mind, I welcome providing support for anyone who has a genuine desire to support others through their work, no matter what type of wellbeing services they provide.

Here are just a few of the healing practitioners that I work with:

  • Holistic therapists
  • Counsellors
  • Reflexologists
  • Nurses
  • Yoga instructors
  • Spiritual workers
  • Healthcare assistants
  • Mindfulness practitioners
  • Wellbeing service providers
  • Nutritional therapists
  • Life coaches
  • Caregivers
  • Bodyworkers
  • Social care workers
  • Hypnotherapists

Daniella Saunders - Professional Development for Healing Practitioners
MA (Phil), BA (Hons), RGN, ITEC

Having worked in healthcare for over 35 years now, my experience includes a variety of roles. These include working as a registered nurse in NHS acute hospital wards, GP surgeries, and private health. In addition, I have been running my own practice as a holistic therapist, health coach, and specialist in the mind-body connection for over 20 years.

Therapist Academy is my hub for continuing professional development. Where healing practitioners can extend their knowledge about the mind-body connection, and how to integrate holistic health practices into their own life and work.

Since I have a background in healthcare, I am best aligned with people from a variety of health-related backgrounds who have an active interest in learning more about holistic health.  Including nurses, healthcare assistants, social care workers, and caregivers.

My intention is to offer ethical, and accessible learning programmes, so that health and care providers can elevate their skills in holistic health, and help more people through their services.
