Practitioner Training for healers, therapists, psychics, counsellors, and card readers...
Apply to become an apprentice and learn how to deliver one of my Spirit Medicine modalities in your own unique way, by blending it with your existing skill-base and interests. I teach students how to master their psychic skills and access spiritual guidance via a slightly altered state of consciousness while staying grounded and engaging critical thinking skills, making them highly effective as spiritual healers and counsellors.

If you are unfamiliar with my work, I recommend reading through my Mission Statement to get a feel for my ethos and the focus of my intent as a healer, mentor and guide
"I am an Earth Healer and during the apprenticeship program the modality that I specialised in was the Gaian Attunement. I loved working in small groups where we were able heal ourselves and others with the beautiful guidance from Omanisa and our spirit guides. When we learnt the skills we were then able to explore our specific gifts and integrate them in with the Medicine and Mastery of who we are – this for me was so important. I love the experience and knowledge that Omanisa brings through many years of teaching, healing and lived experience. Om’s teaching and healing is very gentle kind and supportive to everyone, Om links the right people to assist and work together in the journey. What I love most about Omanisa is her openness to learn explore and help us all grow with so much energy and love, I feel blessed to be part of this program."
"I signed on as an apprentice with Om in September 2022. I’ve been a student and client of Om’s for many years. My objective was not primarily to learn a new modality, but as a healer & coach I was struggling to find community and regain some of the confidence I had lost through burnout and isolation post Covid. Learning the Gaian Healing modality with Om has brought a grounding and cohesion to my other modalities, that we’re not present before . It’s been a beautiful journey of soul retrieval, learning and allowing my unique strengths to rise up; forming deep friendships and a beautiful support network with people who I now recognise as my tribe. Something I had all but let go of. Om’s wisdom, depth of experience, gentleness and leadership have been shining lights that have allowed me to step into new depth and confidence as a healer and in my healing practice, so that I feel truly confident in myself and my pathway to be of service. The apprenticeship program has not just been about learning modality but business development, skills development, stepping into creative flow and deeper connection with your own inner wisdom, guidance & trust. The lifelong friendships and professional support networks that have grown, are invaluable. I would recommend anyone who is led to a healers path and feels uncertain about how to go forward and find who they are in that space to sign on with Om as an apprentice. Thank you Om & Stephen xxx."

In years past, we've had students join us from New Zealand, Queensland, Victoria, NSW, Adelaide and Brisbane. While local Darwin students are welcome to attend the clinic for their personal consults, the style of healing Om teaches lends itself perfectly to distant work. As a healer, Omanisa works with clients all over the world and as her local clients can attest, a session via Zoom is no less potent than a session in the clinic.
As of 2025, we're returning to a pay-as-you-go model rather than asking for lump sums in advance, because people's circumstances change and Om prefers a more organic approach.
In a quest to keep this affordable, students are simply making sure that between them, my hourly rate is being covered, or at least close to being covered. Which means (as of 2026) the fee is $88 per student per class. 2 students receive a 60min class, 3 students turns this into a 90min class. With 4, we often extend to 2hrs.
The best approach is to begin first as a client, then transition to one of the Spirit Medicine Courses so you can practise self-care skills before becoming an apprentice.
If you are already practising as a healer, counsellor or coach, Om can show you how to integrate card readings into your consults. If you've been doing readings for friends and family and thinking about going professional, Om can help you build your confidence and take the next step!
Aura Reading is a form of psychic counselling that can help clients develop greater self-awareness so they see and own their inner light, make peace with their shadows and make positive changes in their life. Om is especially interested in helping amateur Aura Card readers develop their skill.
Aura Sketching can be used as part of a aura reading or counselling process. Om has almost thirty years experience reading, sketching and healing people's aura's or energy fields, and recognises over 100 different aura colours.
Aura Sketching can also be used in a therapeutic way. I use Aura Art Therapy to help clients express and explore feelings they can't easily put into words. If you're artistic/creative or you'd love to incorporate art and colour therapy into your practice, Om can help you develop this skill.
This is my most popular consult type. It begins with an aura card readings and then transitions to aura healing and therapy, using a blend of creative visualisation, colour therapy, mindful meditation and Ki energy work that can be used to help people shift their mindbody into more positive states of being.
It often includes shamanic methods such as soul retrieval, as well as somatic exercises based on neuroscience and psychology. I can help you integrate these skills and concepts into your existing practice in ways that align with who you are.
SHAMANIC NATURE THERAPY & AURA HEALING
This modality blends shamanic journeying with Nature-based Somatic Aura Therapy. It's my version of Reiki (I'm a Reiki Master but prefer a more nature-based, shamanic and somatic approach).
Learn a series of specific healing steps that realign the client's aura, release blockages and restore flow and reconnect them with Nature, their larger body.
The healing is guided by Gaia (Mother Nature) in all Her forms eg animal spirit guides, plant spirits, elementals, the spirits of mountains, rivers and so on.
Students can choose to specialise in working with Spirit Guides where they pass messages through from people's guides, to enhance the client's healing and personal growth
If you're interested in learning how to work with Spirit Guide during aura/energy healing, see the Gaian Healing Modality, although, we do also learn some of this in Somatic Aura Therapy.
Om has a special interest in spiritual psychology and the way spirit guides can be used as tools to cultivate a better quality of self-talk and self-love.
Inner Child, Higher Self, etc
Om has decades of experience working with inner selves, especially the inner child and higher self. This is intra-personal psychology, where we imagine as aspect of self as a character so we can interact and dialogue with it. The inner child is the subconscious, body, emotions, personal history and basic instincts. The higher self is the wise inner elder (eg prefrontal brain function). This is one of the most powerful ways to bring about emotional healing and behaviour change, especially when it's combined with Aura Therapy, which is where most of this work takes place.
Mediumship, where we function as a communication medium between humans and there deceased loved ones who have crossed over, is something Om occasionally incorporates into her Aura Therapy work. This is sometimes as extension of grief counselling, but more often, it about teaching people to access sources of support and wisdom in their lives, or getting help from elders to resolve ancestral patterns.
Om's dedicated medisumship consult is the "Family Tree" consult where Om tunes into passed loved ones and reads them, occasionally passing messages through. Mediumship can also be explored via card reading, as per the SpiritLight Course.
Om is a naturopath who specialises in using herbal medicine and flower essences to heal and balance the chakras. She has her own unique product range of herbal chakra tinctures, aura sprays and Australia wildflower essences which graduates can have wholesale access to.
If you want to collaborate with spirit guides in the shamanic visionary state who specialise in working herbal/bush medicine, see Gaian Healing. Alternatively, you might want to learn how to make flower essences, communicate with flower spirits, or be trained to use Om's Rainbow Herbal Elixirs.
