Coming Soon - Holistic Health Programmes
Therapist Academy is my learning hub for wellbeing service providers who want to know more about holistic health. 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.
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
Affordable and ethical holistic health programmes
The core principle of holistic health is that it encompasses many different aspects of wellbeing. So, by the very nature of the job, many holistic practitioners begin by completing a course in one aspect of health, and then they become aware that their skillset needs to grow 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 comprehensive range of support for their clients.
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, or to elevate your practice. In addition, many of the courses available on the internet are run by people who are neither qualified or experienced in the modality that they are teaching.
So, I have founded this Academy with the intention of providing affordable programmes which are taught by an appropriately qualified and experienced practitioner. Programmes are best suited to all types of health and care providers; coaches, therapists, caregivers, spiritual workers, and service providers who have a genuine desire to increase their knowledge about mind-body therapies. Both for their own personal use, and to integrate into their own practice.
Integrating Holistic Therapies into Your Life and Work
Who do I work with?
People who join the Academy are typically heart-centred individuals 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 wellbeing service providers 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 services they provide.
Here are just a few of the types of healing practitioners that I typically 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.
Join the Holistic Hub - Introductory Offer
The first step to elevating your healing practice is to create a solid foundation on which to build it. This involves putting into place core steps - like becoming more self-empowered, developing essential business skills, providing niche services, and aligning with your purpose.
With this in mind, my first offering in the Academy is an annual subscription to the Holistic Hub. The aim of this hub is to provide heart-centred practitioners with access to a core collection of useful resources which help you to build a healthy foundation for your wellbeing practice. So, if you want to develop your practice and get more clients without paying out a fortune, and if you prefer a DIY approach to learning, then this resource hub may be just right for you.
This evolving library contains primarily text-based resources and action-based items which you can work through in your own time. It currently includes some comprehensive business workbooks, transformational exercises for health, leadership, and mindset, over 70 short therapist notes, plus mindful movement videos to support your wellbeing. There will be more resources added over the coming months.
It is based around the 7 elements of heart-centred service which are outlined here...

In addition to providing you with ethically priced resources for building a thriving practice, you can also use this collection of workbooks and exercises to complete your self-directed learning hours for your annual CPD points.
I'm offering a special discounted rate for people who want to join early, and so this annual subscription is currently available at an introductory price - just £97 for the first year (then £47/year thereafter).
