Our mission is to provide registered nurses and licensed health care professionals with a comprehensive, high quality training in relaxation and imagery skills. The purpose of this work is to offer the opportunity to incorporate the power and magic of imagery into personal and professional practice, with the potential to increase career options.

Our vision is part of a broader paradigm shift, in which we are reclaiming the true art of healing. We are committed to sharing our passion of imagery and creating a learning environment that gives the tools to potentiate holistic healing in practitioners, our patients/clients, and health care as a whole.

Guided Imagery Techniques

This unique 108 hour Certificate Program in Imagery offers in-depth, hands-on training in the expanding field of therapeutic imagery, which goes beyond scripted guided imagery. Integrative Imagery is a powerful holistic healing modality that fosters active participation, disease prevention and health promotion, returning the focus of wellness to the individual.

The guided imagery process is transformative for the practitioner and the client, simultaneously. Presented within the holistic healing model, the program is designed for registered nurses and licensed health care professionals.
