Senior Practitioner Certification


The Senior Practitioner status is designed for practitioners who feel they would benefit from a more structured deepening within the work as well as those desiring a 500 hour program. This is an optional advanced status and is not mandatory.

Certified Practitioners have the option of maintaining their status at Practitioner level indefinitely by staying current with the Continuing Education Requirements.
