SCCP Professional Certification

Sacred Centers Professional Certification provides training for professionals to expand expertise, develop mastery, and apply this material to their scope of practice. Students complete the Co-Heart curriculum and choose a specialization track: Sacred Centers Teacher or Sacred Centers Healer. Students will confer with the Certification Coordinator concerning foundational training required, such as yoga teacher training for the teacher track, or psychotherapy training for the healing track. Choosing one track does not exclude a student from studying in other tracks.

Co-heart Kin-dom and Guidance
When a student is complete with their enrollment materials, the Program Coordinator will contact them to set up an initial session. This will include learning about the program’s offerings, classes, requirements, as well as focusing on a student’s learning goals. It is potentially a good time for asking questions, setting intentions, receiving guidance and focus. Within 1-2 months of enrolling, students will be given an opportunity to join a coheart kin-dom, a small group of students who are moving through the program approximately at the same time and rate as they are. This will provide support, co-learning, personal and professional growth and potential collaboration. In addition, Sacred Centers will be offering regularly scheduled tele-classes for students to deepen their learning.
How Will You Benefit:
Sacred Centers Graduates integrate their learning into their professional lives as yoga teachers, psychotherapists, bodyworkers, and coaches. Graduates can advertise their practices on our referral page, list their classes under graduate events, and publish articles on the website. In addition, each student becomes part of an ongoing community of Sacred Centers Co-Hearts, connected through periodic conference calls, meetings, and collaboration on projects. This powerful connection to the Sacred Centers community deepens students’ engagement with the chakra model, assists them in their unfolding mission in the world, and provides an opportunity for inspiring and empowering each other.
Each Professional Track Student receives initial and ongoing personal guidance throughout the program and priority consideration to assist in Sacred Centers courses.
