TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Every individual is whole unto themselves. The philosophy of Primal Therapeutics and Applied Herbalism is designed to transcend the narrowly-focused allopathic lens, so we can see the beautiful complexity and wholeness of those we are attempting to help. The helper's outlook is essential to the healing process itself. If we begin with a broken view, scanning the students various seemingly fragmented components, we further propagate the originally flawed understanding that they are incomplete. Whereas, if we can first learn to view them as a magnificently whole being, from the first step we have already gone a great distance in the healing process.
As a teacher and therapist, you will learn to empower your clients through an understanding that we are born to move, change, grow, and heal. We are capable of far more than we know. It's through awareness and cooperation with these natural capabilities that healing is not only possible but inevitable.
