Become a Certified Root-Cause Therapy Practitioner
Help people heal what talking about it couldn't reach.
So many people understand exactly where their patterns come from, and still can't shift them. Understanding lives in one part of the mind. The pattern lives somewhere deeper, often from before they had words for it.
Root-Cause Therapy is a step-by-step method for reaching it, safely and gently. Whether you already work with clients or you're starting from scratch, this training gives you the framework, the support and the certification to do this work.

How certification works
This is a practical certification. You learn the method, practise it on real people with support, and we review your work before you're certified.
1. Learn at your own pace
Work through the nine modules and bonus trainings in your own time, with lifetime access. You'll learn through short video lessons and real session demonstrations, so you see exactly how each step looks in practice.
2. Practise with support
Give and receive practice sessions with fellow students in our community, so you receive healing along the way too. Bring your questions to the monthly live supervision and support call with Melissa.
3. Submit your work
Send in your handwritten testing sheets and session notes. Every submission is reviewed personally, and you'll get feedback so you know exactly where you stand.
4. Get certified
Once you pass, you receive your certificate and badge, a listing in our Practitioner Directory, and 96 CPD credits.
No prior qualifications needed. If you already work with clients, Root-Cause Therapy can sit alongside what you do now.

"Beyond my expectations!"
The content and the delivery of this course is second to none. The resources and support afforded can only be termed as "Reaches way beyond your expectations". The desire to see every person to achieve their very best is obvious. There are no hidden costs you get what you pay for. In my opinion the costs are crazy reasonable for the gift you recieve as a reciever of RCT Therapy and as a practitioner who can go on to heal and therefore make a huge and long lasting difference in the lives of others. Well worth the money I spent.

Mel has been so amazing!
Having now completed the RCT training and gained certification I just want to say a massive thank you to the guys at The Centre For Healing. The course was delivered in a way that personally suited me with video tutorials being my favourite way to learn.
Mel has been so amazing at answering any questions put forward and I love that students can connect with questions and practice sessions. This therapy is going to bring awareness and peace to many and I feel so honoured to now share this. With love Penny.

Is this training right for you?
This is for you if…
- You're a coach, counsellor, healer, kinesiologist, nurse or wellness practitioner, and you want a method that reaches the root of what your clients bring.
- You've done your own healing and want to turn that lived experience into work that helps others.
- You're starting from scratch and you're willing to learn step by step and practise on real people.
- You want structure: a clear session framework, forms and scripts, and a way to track your clients' progress.
- You want ongoing support and a community around you, not a course you finish on your own.
This isn't for you if…
- You want a quick certificate without the practice. You'll be giving and receiving sessions before you certify, because that's where the confidence comes from.
- You're looking to diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions. Root-Cause Therapy practitioners facilitate healing. They work alongside medical and psychological care, never instead of it.
- You're not ready to look at your own patterns. You'll receive sessions as part of your training, and your own material will come up. That's actually part of the work, and it's why our practitioners can hold so much for their clients.

What is Root-Cause Therapy?
Root-Cause Therapy is a profound healing method that uses regression and progression practices which allow the completion of unprocessed emotions.
This allows what was unprocessed to finally process, so it no longer causes unwanted thoughts, behaviours and symptoms.
Using advanced ways of testing, the practitioner discovers the actual cause of the unease presenting within someone, which may be reflecting itself through negative life patterns and choices. The practitioner facilitates the client to tap into the self-healing mechanisms of the deeper parts of their mind in an empowering, safe container.
Assumptions and theories are no longer necessary, as we create a way for the mind and body to consciously access and reassess from a clearer perspective, whether this is in the past or negative projections into the future.

I've always known I wanted to go on to help others after I went through the experience of addiction.
To now have a chance to use the training that gets to the root-cause of issues rather than the surface-symptoms truly feels like the start of my life's purpose being fulfilled.
The Centre For Healing and its staff is supportive in the entire training process and to be able to now take what they created and let it continue to grow half way around the world in the USA, what an honor and a blessing.
Matthew Mcnutt
Addiction Therapist
Learning this modality has completely changed my life both personally and in the way in which I work with and achieve results with my clients.
It has given me and my clients the ability to dig deep and access the underlying pain and blockages disallowing them from achieving their goals so that together we can achieve immediate results.
I'm so grateful to have learnt the modality and to be able to share this gift with others
Chanel De King
Owner of Healing from Within
After being a former patient I was honoured to now learn the techniques of a truly remarkable program that deals with the root cause of trauma.
This program has changed my life in so many wonderful ways and all of the past self sabotaging habits caused by early trauma has really brought positive changes and opportunities to my life.
I now have a self love that I never thought would be possible and want to help others become the best versions of themselves.
The program Melissa has created is highly intelligent and easy to understand and apply. The model combines tackling the root causes of trauma and combines it with a holistic approach. I could not recommend this program enough.

Deborah Clarke
Registered Counsellor & Root Cause Therapist
Discover a new direction and heal yourself at the same time I found RCT training at a time where I needed to incorporate a different modality to my current business.
I had no idea I was going to heal my self as well which had a ripple effect on my friends and family.
For this I am eternally grateful to Mel, Ryan and my study buddy. The course is easy to follow and the ongoing support is incredible.
Katie Cambridge
Unravel Therapy
I am really enjoying the process so far. There have been significant shifts in this clients life which is very exciting to see. She is really breaking down some life long barriers.
I'm finding it fascinating how each limiting belief can be perceived/defined differently depending on the scenario. Just in these few sessions the assumption of what a person thinks a limiting belief means is turned upside down once it's put into context with the event.
I've been surprised how accurate the soul messages have been and it hasn't been an issue presenting the therapy in a neutral way.
I really enjoyed my sessions with (other student mentioned) as well. The first one was crazy intense. It's all very fascinating.
