Gwen’s course opened doors in my life that I never imagined were possible. I began the program playing sound only for myself; by the time I completed it, I was confidently leading sessions and had stepped into my first job in the spiritual wellness space. The live classes, guest experts, and sense of community made the experience both rich and empowering. Gwen has a gift for making people feel seen, supported, and capable — and that made all the difference. This training shaped not only my skills, but my path.
