Does this sound like you?

•  You love your work as an art therapist or therapist, but you have no idea how to translate it into a sustainable online business.

•  You’re overwhelmed by the thought of websites, social media, branding, and marketing—and wish someone would just give you a roadmap.

•  You’re scared of “putting yourself out there” but know you need to become more visible to attract clients.

•  You want to offer 1:1 sessions, groups, courses, or workshops but aren’t sure how to package and price them.
​
•  You’re tired of watching other therapists succeed online and wondering, How did they do it?​

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

The Online Art Therapy Foundation training is a self-paced course with 10 modules that outlines all the knowledge needed for therapists to start/move their practice online.
The course was designed in direct response to the art therapy communities' need to have the tools and skills to support clients whilst working online.

By enrolling in this course, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
    1.    No Legal Advice: While I’m here to guide you through the journey of taking your art therapy practice online, I cannot offer legal advice. I’m not a lawyer, and my expertise is in art therapy, not legal systems. If you have questions about practicing in your country or specific legal concerns, please seek advice from a licensed professional familiar with the laws in your region. I have no expertise in legal matters outside of Canada.
    2.    No Refunds: This is a digital course with immediate access to all content, so I cannot offer refunds once you’ve enrolled. Please make sure this course feels like the right fit for you before purchasing.

FAQ

Do you have any sliding scale options for low income etc?

​When I ran the course live, I offered a sliding scale of $300–$500, with $300 as the low-income rate. I’m deeply committed to making this work as accessible as possible while also honouring the time, energy, and expertise that went into creating it. This is why I dropped it to the lowest rate for everyone. While I don’t currently offer a sliding scale for the self-paced version, I do have 3- and 6-month payment plans available.

Can I see what the course is like behind the scenes? 

Yes! Please scroll up for a tour.

Is there a time limit for access to the course?

You have lifetime access to the course and I'll be adding and refining more as technology changes to a certain extent

Can I take this course if I am a counsellor, therapist or qualified practitioner?

Although primarily aimed at art therapists, this course can be taken by psychotherapists, counsellors, therapists and other qualified practitioners. It does not qualify you in the field of therapy and counselling but will give you the tools to take your business online and run a successful business. If you are not an art therapy, week 4 on virtual open studios may not be relevant but can be modified for your own needs and I recommend you watch the module.
