We created this course to help trained psychedelic guides and therapists set up a professional practice. Many of the people we train through Phoenix Academy come from the healing professions: MD, nurse, psychotherapist, psychologist, RMT, nutritionist, pastor, ND, chiropractor, etc. We also train lay people. In watching alumni setting up their own practices we understood that not everyone is a natural born entrepreneur and many struggle to put practices in place to create their practice.
This course brings you the best practices in business and guidance so you will set up on the right foot and build a strong foundation under you. We support you on your journey by connecting you to a valuable peer network and free resources. A separate workbook is included with this course to help you get the most out of it. All of your work is in one place which will make it easier to define your business.
Starting Your Practice is divided into two sections: Business Skills and Best Practices. You can dive into the course depending on what you feel like learning first.
This course is intended to help you start a psychedelic practice once you have been trained to work with clients and medicine. It does not teach or prepare you to become a psychedelic guide.
We promise to support you in your journey to starting your own practice with this course and the resources available on Wounded Healer. Wounded Healer is an international network of trained and experienced psychedelic therapists, connecting you through discussion forums and offering you continuing education and relevant resources. When you complete this course you will get access to a free membership on the site. This is a great place to “find the others”; people from all walks of life and many professions who chose this path.
