Advanced Practitioner Classes Application Package
The application process for the Advanced Practitioner Year of the EEMCP is different than simply signing up for an advanced workshop with Donna Eden. Grid and Regression are protocols that can only be safely administered by those who have the clinical experience necessary to take their clients to this level of healing, as well as being physically, emotionally, and energetically sturdy enough to hold the deep energies that are accessed during these sessions.
The road to being an Advanced Practitioner represents a significant investment of time and energy. Mastery of any form, be it music, dance, language, or energy medicine necessitates a meaningful investment of time for study, practice, and self-development. Rather than looking at Grid and Regression as just two more advanced classes to take, we would like to invite all who endeavor to become Advanced Practitioners to look at this course of study as an opportunity to deepen their own healing and personal advancement and thus to be able to lead the way for others to do the same.
Because of this, all Advanced Practitioner Year applicants must be familiar and facile with the energy systems that make up the bulk of Donna's approach to energy medicine. The EEM techniques and protocols should be a regular, familiar part of life, both in terms of personal self-care as well as in the services they provide. This foundational material needs to be more than just theoretically understood; it must be comfortable in the hands, as happens when one has been an EEM practitioner for years. If you feel this can be said about you, we welcome you to apply.
As we teach the Grid and Regression classes, it is our heartfelt desire to preserve and cherish the beauty and integrity of this sacred work. We look forward to sharing it with you.
To apply for the Advanced Practitioner Year of the EEMCP, please compile the required elements as listed below and send them to Francie Boyce, the Coordinator of the Advanced Practitioner Year. Her contact information is available at the bottom of this page.

1. EEM Educational Prerequisites
To be eligible to attend the Advanced Practitioner classes (Year 4 of the Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program), you must have completed Years 1, 2, and 3 of the Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program. As part of your application package, please indicate when you completed each of these years.
2. Clinical Requirements
All applicants must provide documentation of 100 current Eden Energy Medicine sessions. If you completed Year 3 of the CP within 18 months of the start of the Advanced Practitioner class for which you are applying, the 100 sessions from your Year 3 studies will qualify. If you graduated from Year 3 more than 18 months before the start of the Advanced Practitioner class for which you are applying, you will need to include with your application documentation of 100 Eden Energy Medicine sessions from the past 12 months.
3. Use of the Same Session for Year 3 and Year 4
It is possible that you may be able to use the same 100 sessions used for your Clinical Practicum requirement for your Advanced Practitioner application. This will depend on when you completed your Clinical Practicum classes and plan to start the Advanced Practitioner classes. For example:
- If you completed all of your Clinical Practicum classes and session sheet requirements in February of 2011 or 2012, and are applying for the 2012 Year 4 Classes (which begin in May), you will not have to resubmit your session sheets. Simply indicate on your Advanced Practitioner application that you have already submitted 100 sessions as part of the Clinical Practicum and indicate the year you finished.
- If you completed your Clinical Practicum classes and session requirements prior to February of 2011 and are applying for the 2012 Year 4 Classes, you will be required to show verification of having done 100 additional sessions in the past year. You will not have to submit 100 hard copies of these sessions. Simply fill out and sign a Session Verification form attesting that you have done 100 sessions in the interim year leading up to the first Advanced Practitioner class. This form must be included in your Application Package. Even though you do not submit the 100 session sheets, for legal reasons we must ask that you be able to document these sessions if requested via your client records or at least your appointment book.
4. Information Regarding Your EEM Practice
Please provide the following information in your Year 4 Application:
- Do you have a full or part time EEM practice?
- How many clients do you see in an average week?
- How many of your current clients do you think are ready for Grid and Regression sessions?
5. Receiving Eden Energy Medicine Sessions
Please describe 5 Eden Energy Medicine sessions you have received in the last 12 months. These need to be specifically Eden Energy Medicine sessions with practitioners who are graduates of the EEM Certification Program. At least 2 of these sessions must be with more experienced practitioners (i.e. EEMCP faculty or those listed as Advanced Practitioners on the Innersource website). These sessions do not need to be with 5 different practitioners. They can all be with the same practitioner if that is your preference. Sessions in other modalities are not applicable in this context.
6. Self-Care
A. Please describe the modalities you have explored to assist in your healing and self-development, as well as some of the self-care activities you practice.
We're interested in the tools you have developed to ground and center yourself, and how you have explored your own healing adventure. This is not a test! Simply talk a bit about what you do to help you stay grounded: EEM daily routine, other energy practices, exercise, music, meditation, journaling, dancing, etc.
Speak briefly in regards to any healing modalities you may have explored when working with the issues in your own life, including what worked for you (or didn't) and why: Energy sessions, acupuncture, homeopathy, psychotherapy, lessons/classes in any art form, etc.
Grid and Regression work is something our clients have to work towards with regular sessions and a commitment to their own growth and healing. For us to be able to go the distance with them, we need to have already gone the distance with ourselves. We cannot take them anywhere we have not yet gone. It is important to remember that at the Grid class, along with learning the actual techniques and repairing a Grid on your partner, you yourself will be having a Grid repaired. We're interested in what has been your process to prepare.
B. Please indicate if you have had Grid and/or Regression work done. If you have, please list the practitioner and the date.
Note: At this point, if you know you have a major grid out, we suggest you do not have it repaired prior to the class. Working with a major grid in the class will have benefits in terms of your overall learning experience and that of your partner. If you have already had all of your major grids repaired, your partner will do either a minor grid or cloaccal session for you.
7. Four Letters of Recommendation
- Please have two EEMCP faculty members each provide a letter of recommendation for you.
- Please have both of your Clinical Practicum Supervisors provide Letters of Recommendation for you specifically covering your readiness to take the Advanced Practitioner classes.
All four of these letters need to be sent by the faculty member directly to Francie Boyce. They can be sent via snail-mail to the address below or emailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and must be received by the application deadline.
