Build a Sustainable, Purposeful, and Profitable Practice Without Burning Out
An Immersive Pathway for Future-Focused Natural Health Practitioners
You’ve done the study. You’re passionate about healing.
But no one told you how hard it would be to run a thriving business and take care of yourself at the same time.
That’s where Naturopathic Futures Academy™ comes in.
This is not just business training. It’s a practical, mentor-supported pathway to help you navigate the transition from student or early-stage practitioner to confident, sustainable business owner — without losing your spark, your soul, or your weekends.
What is the Academy?
The Naturopathic Futures Academy™ is a business and leadership pathway designed to support natural health practitioners in building strong, sustainable, values-aligned practices without sacrificing wellbeing, purpose, or impact.
Created by practitioners who’ve walked the same path, the Academy gives you the business training, mentoring, and community that’s often missing from traditional clinical education.
Whether you're just graduating or a few years in and trying to stay afloat, this is your space to grow, strengthen, and lead with clarity. You’ll gain real-world business skills, leadership development, and strategic support, all while staying connected to a community of peers walking the same path.
"The community was a game-changer. I didn’t realise how isolated I’d been until I was surrounded by people who just got it."
Who is the Academy for?
- Students nearing graduation who want a confident transition into clinical practice
- Practitioners in their first 5 years looking to steady their foundations and grow sustainably
- Practitioners ready to shift out of burnout and build a business that supports their life (not the other way around)
Practitioners join the Academy to:
- Bridge the gap between education and entrepreneurship.
- Reduce stress, burnout, and overwhelm from doing it all alone.
- Get practical systems and strategies that actually work.
- Grow with peers, mentors, and a clear sense of direction.
- Move beyond survival mode and step into leadership.
- Embrace the 'forgotten healing arts' and connect with the 'state of the art' through expert faculty.
Program Outcomes:
- Clarify your identity as a practitioner beyond the 1:1 clinical model.
- Develop a business model that aligns with your energy, values, and goals.
- Build confidence using modern tools and timeless healing techniques.
- Learn how to communicate your expertise with clarity, credibility, and integrity.
- Explore alternative career pathways such as teaching, writing, consulting, research or product development.
- Strengthen your use of clinical technologies and collaboration in a multidisciplinary context.
- Prioritise wellbeing through nervous system literacy and sustainable business practices.
- Expand your professional network and grow within a community committed to elevating the future of natural health.
Learn from Practitioners Who’ve Walked the Path
Our faculty isn’t made up of marketing gurus or generic business coaches. They're practitioners, educators, and business mentors with real-life experience building thriving, soul-aligned practices in the natural health space. You'll be guided by a faculty who gets it — the clinical nuance, the emotional load, the invisible labour — and who are deeply committed to helping you find your way, not just follow theirs.
We have world-class clinical education but near non-existent career pathways. Our profession isn’t lacking passion or education, it’s lacking a clear path forward. We're here to light that path.

Enrol in the Academy
"This was exactly the bridge I needed. I already had a stable practice, but I felt stuck in a loop. Through the mentoring, I got my first industry speaking gig, mapped out my first online course, and finally saw myself as a speaker and educator, not just a clinician. The shift in confidence was huge and the community has been incredible support."
"I came into mentoring knowing I wanted to expand beyond 1:1 consults, but I had no idea how to do it without burning out as I was already working overtime all the time. This program helped me find my voice, clarify my message, and launch a group mentoring offer that feels completely aligned. It gave me structure, but also space to plan strategically for me."
"What surprised me most was how much the program focused on embodiment not just strategy. Yes, I refined my offerings and created impactful content, but I also reconnected with my purpose. This program wasn’t about hustle, it was about building something meaningful and sustainable and who you meet along the way."

FAQ
Q: I’m still running my clinic, can I do this alongside my current practice?
Absolutely. This program includes spacious integration time and is fully supportive of your current responsibilities. Any live sessions are recorded so you can catch up any-time. There are optional 2 x 2 day conferences during the teaching year in person to deepen your integration and network.
Q: How is this different from a typical business course?
The Academy is practitioner-created, mentoring-based, and designed to support you over time. You’ll learn systems and strategies, with the inner work and support required to implement them sustainably. Its an industry recognised career pathway providing irreplaceable networks that are profession specific.
Q. Do I have to enrol in both Level 1 and Level 2?
No. You can enrol in Level 1 only and decide later if you would like to continue into Level 2. Each level stands on its own and delivers valuable transformation, however Level 1 completion is a requirement to commence Level 2. If you would like to apply for Level 2 alone, you can start the application process.
Q. Can I enrol in Level 1 and Level 2 at the same time?
No, and that’s intentional. Each level builds on the one before it. Level 1 is designed to establish the foundations of your practice, both internally and externally. You’ll need to complete Level 1 before progressing to Level 2 to ensure you have the clarity, systems, and confidence to make the most of the next stage.
Q: Is this a certified program? Will I get CPE points?
The Academy is an experiential education and mentoring program. While it is not a formal qualification, many associations do accept CPE/CPD points for professional development hours. We provide a CPE Certificate upon successful completion of all modules.
Q. What happens if I fall behind?
There’s no such thing. This is a low-pressure environment where you’re encouraged to take what you need, when you need it. You’ll have access to all content throughout your enrolment, and we actively support you to honour your own timing.
Q. How is this different from the Futures Accelerator?
The Academy is your foundational business and leadership development path. It’s where you build a strong practice and practitioner identity. The Futures Accelerator is the next step. It's designed for practitioners who are ready to grow their influence, launch new offerings (like online courses or speaking), and lead at a bigger scale.
Q: Do you offer payment plans or scholarships?
Yes. We have a flexible monthly payment option, and limited scholarship placements for practitioners from underserved or marginalised communities. You can contact us for details.
We don’t need more overwhelmed practitioners. We need confident leaders who are supported to grow, adapt and thrive both personally and professionally. That’s what this Academy is here to build.
