Certification Programs at MHC

Why Certify Through MHC?

Our certification programs are comprehensive for a reason.

There is a difference between being certified in something and truly knowing it. At MHC, we want you to leave with the depth of understanding and experience that gives you real confidence in your work.

We go beyond the basic techniques. We explore the history and foundations of the work, the many ways it can be practiced, what you may encounter, how to navigate the unexpected, and how to bring everything together in actual practice. There is time to ask questions, practice, receive the work yourself, make mistakes, gain experience and grow into what you are learning.

Our programs combine in-depth teaching with direct experience, personal healing, supervised practice and opportunities to apply what you are learning over time. Depending upon the certification, this may include case studies, practice sessions, mentoring, meditation, ceremony, independent study, service and other requirements designed to help the teachings become something you have experienced and embodied, rather than simply memorized.

Some students come to us completely new to a modality. Others have already been practicing, sometimes for many years, and are looking for the deeper education they never received the first time around.

We think of our certification programs almost like a degree in the subject. You are not taking one class and being handed a certificate. You are building a body of knowledge and experience that develops over time.

And we do not expect everyone who graduates from MHC to practice exactly like we do. In fact, we hope you won't. The deeper you understand the work, the more confidently you can make it your own, integrate it with other modalities and develop the way that you are meant to practice.

Our goal is that when you complete your certification, you feel confident in what you know, confident in what you do, and prepared to actually use what you have learned.
