Hear From Practitioners
"I think every healthcare professional (especially in the allied fields) should have to take “From Knowledge to Mastery: Spiritual Care Training for Healthcare Professionals”.
We did not get this kind of training in undergraduate school in dietetics, nor did we get it during our dietetic internship to become a Registered Dietitian."
"This course has profoundly changed how I care for clients as a health coach!"
"Every nurse needs this training to take in the whole picture of the person. I truly believe that this kind of training and care is what is missing in our healthcare systems. I can't imagine how much more effective "modern medicine" would be if every provider practiced this way."
"I will practice taking 2 breaths when the conversation gets heavy, to create space for that emotion to come through. Personally, I think I'm learning to give myself grace and not compare myself to others, especially when their situation could be vastly different from mine. I've really learned to listen rather than speak because sometimes that acknowledgment and that space are all a person needs in this world to feel even an ounce better."
