Community Wellness Worker (CWW)
The Community Wellness Worker (CWW) Program equips participants with non-invasive, non-chemical palliative care techniques rooted in the Trance/Touch/Technique (TTT) model. This approach blends Hypnotherapy, Reiki, and Indigenous wellness traditions to reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals and support holistic healing. Students also learn arts-based healing and trauma-mitigating counseling, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence.
This three-year, part-time program combines self-paced online learning with hands-on weekend intensives. Graduates gain CWW certification and practical experience through community service. The program prioritizes equity, offering seats for Two-Spirit and transgender participants, and creates pathways for sustainable livelihoods through co-op internships and service contracts.
Counseling Hypnotherapist (CHT) Training
The Counseling Hypnotherapist Program is a comprehensive training in therapeutic trance, counseling, and somatic wellness. Participants learn rapid induction techniques, generative trance, somatic release, and NLP, all grounded in Carl Rogers’ core conditions of empathy and unconditional positive regard. This program emphasizes ethical practice, trauma mitigation, and cultural inclusivity.
Graduates are eligible for certification through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT), enhancing professional credibility and opening opportunities for private practice or integration into existing roles. Whether you’re a caregiver, coach, or clinician, this training deepens your ability to guide others toward healing with clarity and compassion.
Tau Traditional Reiki Training
Tau Reiki integrates Japanese and Western Reiki traditions with insights from neuroscience and hypnotherapy. Students learn foundational practices such as Gassho Meditation, Byosen Scanning, and Reiju Attunement, progressing through five levels from personal practice to mastery. The program emphasizes ethical care, cultural respect, and community service through Hōkō (service-based learning).
With over 175 hours of study, practice, and service, Tau Reiki meets Canadian Reiki Association (CRA) standards for practitioner certification. Graduates are prepared for professional practice and future regulation in Canadian healthcare, ensuring Reiki remains a respected and accessible healing art.

A quick jargon check due to the fact 30 hypnotherapists will give you 30 definitions of what we do.
In our programs, trance is a natural condition everyone experiences, hypnosis is a set of principle-based skills to manage trance, and when we do that for the benefit of others, it is hypnotherapy.
Our school is certified by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapist Association, and our students who complete the full training become certified hypnotherapists.
Learn the best parts of Elman and Erickson hypnosis techniques
In the 1960's, before the world of big pharma and a pill for everything, front line medical practitioners had to learn and maintain a wider palette of palliative skills. Many incorporated hypnosis into that mix. The premier medical hypnosis trainer of the day was Dave Elman.
Dave Elman taught on the premise that the 'doctor' only had a little time for each person, so his training was primarily based on rapid induction techniques to create somnambulistic trance. Pain management was effectively treated this way.
As the healthcare system became centered on drug-based palliative care, these skills became less important to doctors and nurses and the art was lost.
Meanwhile, their children became fascinated with inner exploration, and as the 60's became the 70's, Hypnosis found a new nexus, one that developed a different part of this amazing skill and art of using the power of suggestion.
