Essential Soul Care® Academy encompasses the courses I currently teach, offering professional development for therapists, coaches, healers and seekers.
The Essential Soul Care® Academy is where traditional training meets psychospiritual depth. Here, you’ll find NBCC- and CCE-approved courses in clinical supervision and coach training alongside innovative programs in oracle card mastery, subtle energy practices, and integrative depth work. Whether you’re fulfilling credentialing requirements or expanding your practice through symbol, metaphor, and Reiki, the Academy offers pathways that honor both professional standards and soulful growth. Every course is designed to help you deepen your presence, broaden your toolkit, and guide others at the level of soul.
All courses are self-paced and online with a blend of learning materials ranging from articles and book chapters to audio and video training.
