PROFESSIONAL TRAININGS

For Individuals and Healing  Professionals looking to Integrate Somatic Post-Trauma Growth Tools.

“This isn’t just a training—it’s a calling to change the face of psychology.” Victoria Valentina (MA)

Our professional training program is for well-resourced practitioners and individuals who feel called to transform how we support clients navigating grief, trauma, and loss. Whether you’re a therapist, counselor, healer, coach, or aspiring to develop deeper tools to support yourself and others, this program will provide the tools to integrate revolutionary, earth-based healing practices into your work.

Grief, despair, sadness, and loss are universal experiences. Yet, traditional psychological approaches often focus on managing crises, leaving practitioners and clients stuck in reactive patterns. At Life Cycle, we teach professionals how to work proactively—offering tools for sustainable emotional intelligence and post-trauma growth.

THE EXPERIENCE:

Join us for a 4-day in person group professional training led by Deborah and Victoria, focusing on Ritual Therapy and Personal Transformation.

Our training takes you through the Ritual Therapy model in the first person. Each participant will undergo their own personal work while learning the tools to support others.

At the end of this training, you will know how to use our healing modalities to work with your own life transitions and guide others with confidence through some of life’s most challenging times.

“Victoria's vast aray of knowledge around rites of passage for both men and women, family systems, natural order, the power of ritual and how all of that weaves together to support the fabric of my next iteration leaves me feeling both newborn and wisened as I step into my next new day.  Deborah held holy space and always bringing in the deeper layers gently forward to be heard took each process to profound and unexpected levels as my soul stepped out into the light to instruct me. I find myself feeling grounded in a new direction within myself and feel guided by the tools I received as I follow this new directive.”
