Purpose

The purpose of the Occupational Certificate: BodyTalk Practitioner is to prepare a learner to operate as a BodyTalk System Practitioner. The part-qualification will encourage and build a community of BodyTalk practitioners and teachers who offer professional, quality wellness care through well-structured, applied quality education aligned with international best practice. A qualified learner will be able to: • Establish and maintain BodyTalk healing services in a public or private context. • Conduct client consultation and record-keeping in a public or private energy healing service context. • Facilitate a process of client wellbeing through applying energy healing modalities.

Rationale

This part-qualification will encourage and build a community of practitioners and teachers who offer cost-efficient quality wellness care; through well-structured, applied quality education aligned with international best practice. The approach is to up-skilling and re-skilling South African healers and new entrants. This will elevate the industry and encourage skills transferability in the public and private sectors. The outcome of this is recognition, legitimacy, and collaboration of this industry, which will uplift service delivery from natural energy healers and academics and will encourage overall empowerment, upliftment, and financial success. In the social context, this ratification, of a previously fragmented industry brings wellness options to communities and individuals, encouraging them to take accountability for their wellbeing with the support of trained, skilled, and dedicated practitioners at all levels. The minimum number of credits is attributed to the content, complexity, and nature of training, which still exceeds the average international duration for the same training course.

Exit Level Outcomes
  • Manage fundamental scope, dynamics, and ethics of the energy healing industry.
  • Facilitate client wellbeing by applying the BodyTalk System process.
