This is For You if...
This program is an advanced training, not an introduction. It is designed for those who are ready to go deeper.
You have prior experience with expanded states of consciousness
You feel called to guide others with skill, presence, and integrity
You are ready for a full year of sustained inner work
You want to learn IFS as a lived practice, not just a model
You are committed to your own healing as the foundation of your work
True guidance begins with the capacity to remain deeply present through transformation
A Path, Not a Program
Your first year on the Moxie Path is designed like carefully laid stepping stones. You'll start with personal healing and progressively build into the skills of a guide. Each step builds on the last.
1
Step 1: Foundations of You and IFS
You begin as the client. Learn to unblend, access Self-energy, and map your internal system.
2
Step 2: Exploring Protectors
Practice parts work with peers, supported by Year 2 Apprentices. Learn to identify and work with protectors, the parts that guard your system.
3
Step 3: Healing Exiles
Continue the practice in dyads and small groups, supported by Year 2 Apprentices. Go deeper to heal the exiles carrying beliefs and burdens, building facilitation skill while doing your own healing.
4
Step 4: The Call of the Life Transformation Guide
Step into your identity as a guide. Clarify your role, your purpose, and the ethics of this work. Begin to articulate your own ethos of transformation.
5
Step 5: Weaving the Tools – IFS for Expanded States
Integrate IFS across preparation, facilitation, and integration. Learn to hold the full arc of an expanded state experience with skill and presence.

How You Will Learn
This Moxie Path is built on experience, repetition, and relationship. Every Monday, live on Zoom, 3.5 hours of immersive learning.

Weekly sessions with Heather cover IFS theory, expanded states, and The Transformational Healing Model.
Practice Groups

A Message from Heather
I created the Foundations program from a deep belief that the most powerful thing any guide can do is their own work first. IFS changed my life and my practice. Expanded States opened doors I didn't know existed, and I have spent years learning how to help others walk through them safely and with intention. My hope is that you leave this year more fully yourself, with the skills, the steadiness, and the inner foundation to guide others with real integrity. I look forward to walking this path with you. -Heather
