You Are the Medicine - Become a Modern Medicine Woman

A certificated and accredited practitioner training that blends ancient feminine wisdom and modern tools to transform your life and work

Have you walked a path of healing, development and growth, only to sense that the world is asking you to step up now as a feminine guide, healer, facilitator and leader?

Are you yearning for a sisterhood of like-minded women who understand your depth, honour your vision, and walk beside you on the path?

Do you feel the call to step fully into your unique Medicine but aren’t sure how to share it with the world — or wish you had the confidence, skills, and structure to do so?

You’re not alone. Many women who joined this training began right where you are — longing for clarity, confidence, and connection — and left ready to embody and share their medicine with the world.

You Are the Medicine is more than a practitioner training course. It is a transformational initiation journey into the path of the Modern Medicine Woman. Rooted in ancient feminine wisdom and attuned to today, our certificated and accredited training not only teaches you powerful approaches and tools, it awakens your unique medicine and gives you the skills and confidence to become an embodied practitioner, leader, and feminine guide.

In the lineage of the sacred feminine—the Wild Woman, the Seer, the Healer, the Shamanka, the Priestess, and the Ceremonialist—you will learn shamanic practices, energy healing, ceremony, and somatic tools to awaken and hone your medicine. As indigenous wisdom teaches: medicine is not something you take—it is who you are. During this course you will remember, refine, expand and embody your unique sacred medicine and gain the confidence to share it with the world.

"The residential was one of the most profound learning experiences I've ever had. Beautifully intense, yet tender and nourishing... with a good dollop of laughter and fun too! An experience I will forever treasure. It was wonderful to share time with a group of women honouring, witnessing, and attending to each other. Experiential, rather than academic - it was just what I needed to heal and grow, and to connect with my inner wisdom, intuition, and medicine.

Completing the case studies afterwards helped me to see just how much I'd learned. The whole experience was beautifully held and facilitated by both Vanessa and Christa. I'd sign up again in a heartbeat..."  Kim
