Energy Healer & Shamanic Practitioner - Online Evergreen

You've been practising for a while. Maybe years. You've seen what's possible in a session when the work goes deep, when something genuinely shifts for a client.

But there's a gap between what you sense you're capable of and the professional framework that would let you deliver it with full confidence.

Maybe you've been working mostly from intuition, and you know it's time for structure.

Maybe you've had sessions where a client went somewhere big, and part of you quietly wondered ‘do I have everything I need to hold this properly?’

Maybe you're building a professional practice and you're aware that without a recognised credential, there's a ceiling on what you can charge and who will trust you.

You're not a beginner. You don't want a beginners' course.

What you want is:

A professional pathway that meets you at your current level and takes you further
Clear frameworks that give your intuitive gifts a rigorous, credible container
Supervised, assessed practice, so you know your skills are real, not just felt
A small, dedicated cohort of practitioners who take this work as seriously as you do
A credential that validates your work professionally, allows you to get insured and charge accordingly
Mentorship from someone who has done this work at depth for three decades

"Sue is amazing! She is a wonderful mix of fun and professionalism. She has this ability to make you feel at ease, with her infectious laugh, and at the same time deeply honoured and securely held, by the directness of her gaze, which conveys the loving kindness she brings to all her work.

I first met Sue a few years ago when we were co-teaching on an energy healing course and I was instantly struck by her warmth, and noticed how well-loved she was by all the students. She has such integrity and is really committed to being in service to others.

I have experienced first-hand her competence and sensitivity in dealing with crises or helping people to process painful or difficult emotions. She is what you would call ‘a safe pair of hands’! You can feel secure in trusting your healing to her, and know that you will be met with compassion and confidentiality.

Sue is dedicated to her own healing journey and is always adding to her skills – prepare to be amazed by what she can pull out of her magic toolbox! A great teacher, an excellent healer and, I’m happy to say, a good friend – If you haven’t had the pleasure of working with Sue, then I’d suggest you hurry up. This lady is in demand! "

START HERE if you want to establish a solid professional foundation in energy healing:

→ The Energy Healer Certification (6 Months | IPHM Accredited) From foundational energy work through to auric repair, regression, and psychic surgery. This pathway builds the clinical rigour, ethical grounding, and professional confidence required to hold high-quality client work. You'll graduate with a recognised credential and the assessed skills to back it up.

GO DEEPER here if you're called to trauma-informed shamanic work, soul-level healing, and ceremonial practice:

→ The Shamanic Practitioner Certification (9 Months | IPHM Accredited) This is the advanced pathway. Soul retrieval. Power retrieval. Death doula work. Compassionate spirit release. Curse-clearing. Land healing. If you've always known your work is meant to go this deep, this is the training that will give you the skill, supervision, and credibility to do it professionally.

Not sure which is right for you?

Some practitioners begin with the Energy Healer pathway and progress to the Shamanic Practitioner Training. Others come in already knowing they want the full journey and commit to both from the start.

Here's what that looks like month to month:

You progress with structure, not pressure. The training moves one module per month; deep enough to integrate, flexible enough to move faster if you choose. If you pay in full, all material is available from day one.

You're assessed, not just taught. Every month you'll join a live supervised distant healing exchange, two Sunday options to choose from. You'll be observed, assessed, and given direct feedback on your practice. This is how you know you're progressing, not just hoping.

Your recorded sessions get real, personal feedback. Submit your in-person healing sessions on video and Sue will review them personally, commenting on your clinical discernment, technique, and professional approach. This is the feedback most practitioners never get.

You're supported between modules. Small buddy accountability pods keep you engaged, reflective, and connected between sessions. Monthly live sharing circles create space for community, questions, and integration.

Tech will never be a barrier.

Clear login guidance, video upload walkthroughs, and hands-on support if you need it. If you can join a Zoom call, you can do this training.

"‘Sue’s teaching provided a good dose of technique, theory, personal experience & practice work allowing for a very well run & integrated course.

Sue is a wonderful teacher with a great passion for her work which shows through her teaching and support. She delivers her work with great humility & with lot’s of humour coupled with a wonderful team around her which made the experience very easy going & fun.

I look forward to a lot more learning experiences with Sue’. Himesh Spiritual group facilitator & healer, London."

This isn't about collecting a certificate. It's about becoming a different practitioner.

By the time you graduate, you will:

Hold the room differently. You'll have the frameworks, the supervised hours, and the assessed competence to stay steady when client work gets big. No more second-guessing. No more quietly wondering if you're out of your depth.

Deliver outcomes that last. You won't be offering one-off sessions that feel good in the moment and fade. You'll be guiding clients through structured healing pathways with the skill to facilitate real, measurable, lasting change.

Build a practice that sustains you. Clients who experience consistent, professional outcomes return, refer, and commit to longer pathways. Your IPHM certification opens the door to insurance, international practice, and rates that reflect the depth of what you offer.

Know where you stand, always. You'll have been assessed, not just taught. You'll have received direct feedback on your actual sessions. That's the foundation real professional confidence is built on.

Belong to a community that you're proud to stand with. The Academy community isn't a loose, flakey group. It's a network of dedicated practitioners who are committed to working with depth, integrity and professional standards.

"My personal growth during this period has been incredible, moving me mentally, emotionally, physically and of course spiritually to another level of existence.

I feel the course Sue presents has been the main key for this growth, in an epic, fast-moving, energetic journey, in an amazingly held space!

I am so grateful and feel humbled by the knowledge and integrity of this beautiful teacher whom I now call my friend.

My work was already holistic; however, the very special time on the shamanic training with Sue added depth, intuition, and increased energetic range.

I developed a stronger trust in my inner guidance and expanded my healing tools, helping clients access subconscious insights, energy clearing & extraction techniques, working with ancestral patterns or emotional imprints, use of ritual, intentions, and sacred spaces. I now hold sessions for deeper transformation.

This has an amazing impact on my client's health and well-being. During the sessions, they experience better emotional release (grief, stress, trauma patterns), so that they are feeling “lighter,” clearer, and more aligned after each treatment, giving them greater self-awareness and clarity about life direction, with root-cause shifts.

Clients feel truly seen and understood and cared for on deeper level. This became a new way of working for me, and has increased my income. It has brought me repeating clients, referrals, and developed a long-term relationship with all of my clients."

"‘Sue’s healing course was amazing!

Sue completely steps aside and holds a powerful, safe healing space.

You are taught to journey into the hidden realms to find lost fragments of your soul, and into your shadows to bring them into the light.

You learn to open up to your true self, to stand in your own power. It is a process of becoming whole. We were given tools to live in alignment and sovereignty so we can be of the highest service possible.

These tools are helping me to navigate my way through this time of great change and uncertainty and to help others to do the same."

Thirty years ago, Sue didn't find a professional certification pathway for the work she was being called to do. It didn't exist.

So she built her practice the long way. She trained in energy healing and shamanic practice courses with some of the world's most respected teachers - and some out-of-integrity ones - learning both how and how not to work.

Through assisting and leading hundreds of ceremonies and facilitating thousands of client sessions, she gained the kind of hard-won experience and discernment that only comes from being in the room when things get complex. She's been featured in press articles and made multiple TV appearances.

She's supported people through grief, trauma, addiction, psychic attack, spirit release, ancestral/karmic patterns, soul-fragmentation and end of life care. And she's written about it honestly, practically, and without mystification in her book 'Becoming a Healer for Yourself & Others'.

What she brings to this training isn't just knowledge. It's discernment.

The ability to recognise what's happening in a session, and to guide you in how to work safely and professionally at depth. The kind of mentor that can witness your sessions and show you what you missed, what you did beautifully, and what to do differently next time. This is what you get access to when you train with the Academy.

"I've created the course I wish I had discovered all those years ago. I offer grounded guidance, structured supervision and clear professional standards, because this work requires depth and integrity"

— Sue Holmes

"I would wholeheartedly recommend this course.

Sue is extremely authentic and teaches from the heart. From her experience she is able to offer you tremendous insights into healing and combines this with a real, down-to-earth and practical approach.

On the course you meet amazing people with incredible skills. You also receive and give a great deal of healings in the sessions so brilliantly led by Sue.

It was a great experience and has kick-started a great adventure for me. Thank you.”

Our next (optional extra) residential ceremonial Masterclass for our current students and graduates is: May 2026, in Wales.

One of the most valued aspects of the Academy of Modern Shamanism is the calibre of its practitioner community. When you train with us, you don’t just gain professional skills — you become part of a network of experienced healers committed to integrity, depth, and ongoing development.

Our Reunion Masterclass Ceremony Retreats bring together current students and graduates for in-person healing and ceremonial practice. These gatherings offer a rare opportunity to receive deep personal work, refine your skills, and be supported as you step into your next level as a practitioner.

Across several days, you’ll take part in powerful ceremonies within a safe, grounded container, gaining valuable experience in holding sacred space.

Whether you join to deepen your work, connect with peers, or integrate your learning in person, the Masterclass retreats provide a powerful way to continue your professional and personal evolution within the Academy.

Both courses will refresh and refine your skills from foundations to advanced level.

The Energy Healer course is the best place to start if you are less experienced, before progressing to the shamanic course.

If you've been practising energy work with clients for a year or more, have done some personal development work, and feel genuinely called to deepen your professional standard, you're likely a strong fit for the Shamanic Practitioner course.

Not sure? Book a free call with Sue and she'll give you an honest answer.

Before you look at the numbers, take a moment to consider this.

When you’re working at a professional level - with expert skills, clear ethical structure, and the ability to hold more complex client work - your sessions and prices naturally reflect that.

You’re no longer offering one-off low-cost treatments that feel good then fade. You’re guiding people through deeper, more committed healing pathways.

That’s where your work becomes more sustainable. Clients trust you, so they return, and they refer. A single client working with you over time can more than cover the cost of your training. This isn’t just a course fee. It’s an investment in your capability, credibility and income potential.
