About This Episode

What makes a practitioner truly effective? In this episode, Barb and Aila share the vision behind their new six-month Practitioner’s Academy and explore why the practitioner’s own presence, capacity, self-understanding, and relationship with life are inseparable from the work they offer others. They talk about moving beyond tools and rigid methodology, meeting the full range of human experience, deepening client work, building a sustainable practice, and creating from greater freedom, aliveness, and trust.
Thank you for listening! For more information and resources, visit Barb's website and Aila's website.
