OUR STORY
The Inner Voyage training course and associated practitioner registration was formalised in January 2009.
Prior to this, our founder and principal, Jennifer Cunningham, established a career as a Meditation teacher and holistic counsellor, spanning some 25 years and began training other people to be Meditation teachers on an informal level, around a decade ago. These teachers have gone on to establish their own businesses individually.
The formalisation of the course and the associate practitioner membership was designed to overcome the pitfalls most people face when they endeavor to work for themselves within the holistic wellbeing industry.
Regardless of how well trained a practitioner is, issues like small business management, marketing and mentoring can often severely limit their success. The associate practitioner membership provides a range of support services, designed to overcome these issues.
Our training material is based on solid medical, physiological and physiological research coupled with ancient traditions from a broad range of cultures.
The Inner Voyage training program has been designed to meet the needs of individual students and our standard practices are designed to overcome many of the usual problems people face when studying via distance education including a sense of isolation and lack of individual support. Our students have one tutor who is always available to them via email and telephone and contacts them by phone personally on a weekly basis. We also have a virtual on-line meeting lounge where our students and practitioners can communicate with each other, share information and gain peer support.
Many prospective students are curious about accreditation and where there certificate will be recognised…Meditation is a difficult modality to have recognised under any government department at this stage. However there are several natural therapies bodies that do recognise Meditation as a holistic therapy and we are continuing to work toward bringing our course content inline with their requirements. At this stage our courses are IMTA accredited. Our students are able to register with IMTA and obtain professional insurance.
Our office is located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia but our work spans the globe to bring the healing and life affirming benefits of Meditation (in all its traditions) and holistic wellbeing to all who seek to improve the quality of their own lives…and who want to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
