You Are the Medicine – Become a Modern Medicine Woman Practitioner
A certificated and accredited practitioner training that blends ancient feminine wisdom and shamanic teachings with modern therapeutic tools to transform your life and your work. The Medicine Woman Practitioner course is a unique and in-depth Medicine Woman Training in the UK offering comprehensive Shamanic & Ceremonial training, Energy Healing Training, and Somatic and Embodiment Training designed to awaken intuition, deepen spiritual connection, and develop psycho-spiritual and therapeutic skills. You’ll learn to facilitate women’s circles, hold sacred space, and work with ceremonial tools and rituals to support healing, transformation, and empowerment. Rooted in earth-based spirituality, this Modern Medicine Woman Course weaves shamanic practice, energy medicine, and somatic wisdom to guide you in becoming an embodied, soulful, and empowered practitioner.
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.
