INTENTIONS OF TRAINING

This Mental Health Holistic Healing Practitioner training offers participants the opportunity to learn an integrative, alternative, decolonized, depathologized, alchemical, and holistic healing methodology and approach to mental health healing and transformation. The training examines the connections between mental health and spirituality, human energy field, environment, stored emotions, ancestral/childhood trauma, nutrition and diet, the physical body, the subconscious mind, lifestyle/behavioral/patterns, daily habits and practices, unhealthy intergenerational family cycles, belief systems, stored body memory, technological consumption, programming, systemic oppression, cultural practices, life purpose, possible innate healing/intuitive/spiritual abilities -and more - and gain practical skills, tools and techniques to offer transformational mental health support to clients and community members suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, spiritual crisis, pandemic related stress and other imbalances. In addition participants will become certified Reiki Energy Medicine Healing Practitioners to support the integrative work, and will also learn the Healing at the Root Holistic Healing System & Methodology. Please see below the paragraphs for the weekly class topics the course covers.

The intention of this training is to increase the number of practitioners offering mental health support in an alternative, comprehensive way through a system that is expansive and supportive of addressing the various layers and root issues that contribute to mental well-being. This training is for those already working as mental health professionals of varying manifestations within the traditional model/institutions looking to incorporate holistic approaches into their work as well as those working as holistic healing practitioners interested in supporting clients with mental health challenges.

We aim to continue the growing movement that is expanding how we approach and heal from mental health struggles, understanding that the conventional medical approaches don’t always allow for people to get to the root and address the various layers through various methods. We want to normalize addressing mental health from a holistic and Whole Person perspective that supports healing at a deeper level with a decolonized and culturally relevant approach & spiritual integration; making space for reclaiming non-Eurocentric approaches to mental health that center natural, indigenous, spiritual and intuitive approaches to healing. This training is meant to train practitioners in how to help others release their pain and shift away from pathologizing symptoms, sending the message that they don’t have to carry their pain for life and can be active agents in their wellness journeys. With this work practitioners will learn to support clients in alchemizing their pain into their power, transmuting it all and experiencing real shifts, healing and tangible changes in their lives. With this work we want to share the wisdom that it is truly possible heal, to change the depth and continued presence of mental health struggles and equip community members/clients with accessible tools for continued well-being.

This training is interactive and engaging, with a variety of activities and mediums each class, and a co-created experience where students walk away with practical tools and abilities (along with those skills already present) to guide their journey as Mental Health Holistic Healing Practitioners to support community members and clients. Spirit Guided New Earth work; as things crumble space is being made for new creations to be birthed. We are aiming for systemic level shifts and for the “alternative” support options becoming a common default option.
