The College Of Healing
Professional, ethical, in-depth training for safe and competent healing practice since 1983
Why People Choose The College Of Healing
Since 1983, The College of Healing has been a pioneer in developing professional standards for healing training in the United Kingdom. Our work has influenced national frameworks and continues to shape ethical practice today.
Some of us came to the College with little or no previous experience; others after many years of using their skills, either with family and friends or in professional practice.
Our Mission
Although people used to think that Healing was a ‘gift’ that could not be taught, a breakthrough moment in the history of Healing was in 1983, when the College of Healing in Malvern demonstrated that Healing can be taught, can be learnt, and is a positive, life changing experience that is accessible to and can be practised by everyone.
Our mission is to promote and deliver high standards in Healing training and practice which support the outcomes of a range of other health interventions such as surgery, medication, and complementary therapies. We give people tools to use in their own self-care, self-healing and self-development which helps them better care for others.
