Healing Membership & Facilitator Pipeline

The Challenge

A trauma-informed healing practice with a loyal following from in-person sessions — but no way to stay with people between ceremonies, and no structured path for experienced participants who wanted to become facilitators themselves. The knowledge existed as a coherent methodology with 97 distinct practices. The container didn't exist.

Key Decisions

The core architectural question was how to model a non-linear healing journey. This isn't a course with modules — it's a methodology where different practices are appropriate at different stages of someone's process, and the facilitator needs to be able to customize pathways. We built a curriculum engine that delivers practices based on progression markers, not just sequential completion. The AI assistant was critical here: trained on the methodology's language and framework, it provides guidance between sessions using the same terminology and approach the practitioner uses in person. The facilitator pipeline adds another layer — tracking who among the membership has the experience and readiness to train as facilitators.

What Was Built

A membership platform delivering a 12-month curriculum of 97 practices with progression-based (not sequential) delivery, a personalized healing assistant that speaks in the methodology's language, progress tracking across the full journey, and a pipeline into facilitator training — turning a practice into a school.
