ABOUT THE SCHOOL
OUR MISSION
Helping "healed healers" make a bigger impact in their community!
The term "healed healers" comes from the common phrase that most healers are "wounded healers", meaning that they are in-fact wounded themselves, and that they are trying to heal themselves by healing or saving others.
Psychologist Carl Jung wrote of the "Wounded Healer" archetype, as those who find it their life's calling to be a healer due to their unsolved internal wounds from life experiences.
As a holistic practitioner, it is our job to become a model of self-care, and to teach from example rather than authority. Here, we work to learn how to heal ourselves FIRST, and let the overflow of healing have an osmosis affect on the lives around us.
As "Healed Healers", we are facilitators and teachers, rather than martyrs. Making sure that we pass this on as our primary lesson in everything we do, we hope to make ourselves and our students the model of healed healers to practice true sustainability (both inside and out) to help heal the world!
