The Yothera Method Facilitator Training Program
Phase 1-3
Bring Yothera® into Your Work with Your Clients
The Yothera Method Facilitator Training is a complete holistic methodology to support your clients in their healing.
Next cohort begins September 2025
(Be the first to get the details!)
Yothera Method offers helping and healing professionals a new approach to their work, that changes the whole perspective of what it means to seek therapy in the first place.
Traditional therapy teaches us to work with the mind alone -- with little to no acknowledgement of the body, soul, or intuition of the individual. With such a narrow perspective, we are not truly being of best service to ourselves and those we work with.
Helping and healing professionals who receive training and implement the Yothera Method in their work, feel more authentic to express their own unique talents and gifts with clients, as well as support their clients in doing the same in their own lives.
Yothera Method supports you in implementing a more holistic approach in your profession, to decrease burn out and compassion fatigue, and increase joy, playfulness, intuition, and authenticity into your unique service in the world.
Designed to offer therapists and helping professionals a totally new way to empower and express themselves within their profession, as well as learning a new way to empower their clients beyond talk therapy alone.
The Yothera Method frees individuals from the deeply-rooted, unconscious patterns that inhibit them from living their most authentic life, and feeling truly alive. It gives them full access to their unique gifts, aligns them with their purpose, and supports them in their most authentic self expression.
Yothera Method Facilitator Training is for:
- Therapists and helping professionals who are committed to inner-personal development and holistic healing, and also committed to supporting their clients through a similar journey
- Therapists who have tried traditional therapy approaches but feel there is something missing for them, and seek a more authentic and holistic approach to their work
- Therapists who have tried traditional therapy approaches but feel there is something missing for them, and seek a more authentic and holistic approach to their work
- Therapists who are open to trying a new method of therapy that involves more of the subconscious mind, body, spirit, and developing their own intuition, as well as encouraging their clients to do the same.

Phase 1:
The Mind
Phase 1 works specifically with the mind and our “old story” conditioning, to get clear on what has been keeping us trapped. Phase 1 works with the layers of the conscious and unconscious mind, uses archetypes, shadow work, and integration of our hidden blind-spots, cognitive dissonance, defense mechanisms and mental blocks that sabotage our healing.
Phase 2:
In-Bodiment
Phase 2 uncovers how the unconscious mind speaks to us individually, and learning it’s language through the body using a variety of embodiment tools such as heart coherence, focused mindfulness, yoga therapy techniques, breathwork, energy practices, and exploring emotions. Phase 2 works with the nervous system, and includes intuitive development practices.

Phase 3:
The Elixir - Integration
Phase 3 teaches integration practices, energy attunement, and sharing of new stories within an intention group container. Practices of compassion and unconditional love, as well as partner practices are also part of Phase 3. Discussion around ethical embodiment and consideration when doing more embodied work with clients. Phase 3 teaches participants how to assist clients in anchoring their new story more in their daily lives.
TAKE THE COURSE NOW
Yothera Method
Facilitator Training Program
 The YMFT is experiential, and designed to teach participants how to guide their own clients through the Yothera Method, as well as go through the method themselves.
Phases can be taken one at a time and purchased separately, but for the most cohesive experience, it is encouraged to enroll in the entire program and commit to the full experience for certification. Participants will practice using the methods along the way, with their clients, as part of the learning process, as well as during the in-person immersion and during their 50-hours of 1x1 clients.
50-hours of 1x1 can begin after Phase 1, and be spread out along the way as needed.
Next cohort begins 2025 TBD (Be the first to get the details!)
If a participant wishes to have one or more individual sessions with Jess for additional support, those will be scheduled and paid for separately as professional mentorship.
Part of going through the YMFT Program is not only learning how to bring this work into your work with clients, it’s also going through the Yothera Method for yourself as part of the experiential training process.
Phase 1: The Mind
