Like a Pro:
The Wheel of Consent for Professionals
In-person or online
Like a Pro brings the transformative model of the Wheel of Consent to professionals working with topics of consent, boundaries, relational intimacy, body sovereignty, trauma recovery, sexuality, communication, and touch. Originally developed for touch practitioners, the course has, by popular demand, expanded to include non-touch professionals like therapists, coaches, teachers, and workshop leaders.
Like a Pro guides you into a personal somatic experience of The Wheel, and then teaches you how to integrate it into your practice, to make all your sessions safe, effective, and satisfying.
Like A Pro courses are taught by certified faculty from The School of Consent, who have been trained by Dr. Betty Martin.
What folks are saying
Like a Pro was an eye-opener, both professionally and privately. I knew the Wheel of Consent from before, but experiencing it like this and sharing the journey gave a much deeper understanding - and a lot of inspiration. It's the best I have done for myself and my business in a very long time.
Like A Pro is a must for anyone working in social care and wellbeing. This course is firm in its gentleness, nuanced in its simplicity and the teachers are both highly skilled and approachable. I loved it, learned heaps about (my own and others) autonomy, desires and daring to ask for what you want. I look forward to integrating it further in my work with couples!
My life started transforming one day into this training. Personal insights poured in, I started asking more clearly for what I wanted and asking others for more clarity in their requests. As the days went on, I started seeing how every aspect of my life and work could benefit from what I was learning.
