Transformational
Training at the
Forefront of a
Cultural Phenomenon

Psychedelic medicines are more accessible than ever. Legalization movements move forward every day. Cultural acceptance is spreading like wildfire.

This makes trusted guidance more important than ever.

People from all walks of life with different goals need help to navigate this space and realize their potential.

Our challenge?

There are not enough trained professionals to help them all.

Who Is This
Certification For?

Third Wave Certification is for established coaches who want to add psychedelic work into their existing frameworks and new coaches who want to begin a career in psychedelics.

It is for anyone who wants to be on the forefront of human potential, peak performance, executive training, and leadership development.

Please note: this is not a clinical program. It is not suited for individuals who want to work with PTSD, clinical depression, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, or other clinical conditions.
