Absolutely not! Perfection is just an illusion and part of the healing journey is learning to accept yourself exactly as you are. Lightworking is not about denying that darkness, shadows, and tough stuff exist. It's about honesty, authenticity, and showing up in your Highest Truth.

In regards to coaching and supporting others, you can be a perfectly successful professional coach/ energy worker/ Lightworker even if you're still working on your own "stuff." The key is helping those who just a few steps behind you. Regardless of where you are on your journey, you have wisdom to share with others. And that is what makes you a Lightworker. 

You can use these skills as a parttime income stream, a fulltime career, or simply on a volunteer basis. Some Lightworkers want to go into fulltime coaching and mentorship while others simply want to use this information to enhance their own lives and relationships. Whatever your intention is for this certification is perfect-- you can use this information however you want. 

Definitely not. We encourage you to take what serves you, leave the rest, and develop your own style.

Absolutely! That’s what we hope for.

The program is self-study and self-paced, so it is up to you to decide how you would like to pace your progress and how you would like to utilize the year of group support that you have access to.

• 12 pre-recorded modules: 36 hours total (speed can be adjusted)
• 3 assessments and bonus assignments: 8 hours total
• 4 90-minute 1:1 calls with your Shamanic Guide: 6 hours total 
• 5 recorded demo videos: 5 hours total

If you choose to claim the Enlightened Entrepreneur Business Bonus Program at their time of purchase, it is suggested that you begin working through this program after your Lightworker certifications are complete. 

When you are ready to begin the Enlightened Entrepreneur program, it is recommended that you devote approximately 1 to 2 hours to the program per day for approximately 3 months. Consistency at the beginning of starting your coaching business will ensure that you lay a firm and sustainable foundation.

Lightworkers who already have business experience may need less time, those without any business experience at all may need more time to embody the material and learn the ropes of building and maintaining a business.
