Practitioner Mentorship

Providing tools, protocols and guidance to support you in confidently delivering public health education

Most Registered Dental Hygienists and Health Practitioners receive minimal training on effectively incorporating holistic tools into their practice while fostering a supportive and positive connection with their patients. Patients arrive with a mix of problems, hopes, fears, traumas, and expectations, and your role is to support, guide, and treat them. The majority of patients seek direction, validation, healing, comfort, support, and recognition. The Practitioner Mentorship Program will equip you with the skills, tools and confidence needed to forge deeper connections with your patients, enabling you to provide optimal guidance and support, ultimately leading to improved client-care outcomes.
