HEAL CERTIFIED PRACTITIONER
you’ve been called to medicine
to heal others.
You’ve seen how the healthcare system isn’t up to the task.
You feel called to action – but what and how?
Your energy and attention gets pulled this way and that.
How do you make a healing difference for patients,
colleagues, systems or society?
Let this pathway resource you with clarity about the work that is yours to do and the wisdom and inexhaustible compassion with which to do it.
The result is you making your greatest difference
with undeniable power, greater joy, and less stress.
Who is it for?
- You’re a leader or practitioner in healthcare who wants to have even greater impact.
- You want greater energy and connection to the purpose that called you to medicine.
- You care about the people around you and the quality of your relationships and teams.

From even the first program, HEAL 1, participants consistently report being more grounded, centered and energized as a result, even long afterwards. They report fewer symptoms of burnout and greater facility in the leadership skills we teach, which in HEAL 1 includes: transforming challenges, leading with agility and influencing others.

Add the coaching option?
Make your journey even more impactful with the assist of a Zen Leadership coach.
Why? As you train in HEAL, you’re seeing in new ways and trying new practices. Especially if you’re trying to lead changes in your system, you’ll likely experience ups and downs and feelings of failure – in other words you’re learning! There’s nothing like the accountability, support, attention, and insight that emerge through one-on-one coaching to help you stick to desired practices, overcome rough spots, and make something bigger happen.
Our Zen leadership coaches embody a depth of wisdom and experience that comes from years of meditation in addition to their leadership, industry, and coaching experience.
Select the coaching option and accompany your journey with 6 sessions with one of our Zen Leadership coaches.
