6 Modules 丨  3 Bonus Courses 丨 Online Learning

KŌTA’s Holistic Mental Health & Mindfulness Program is an online learning program specialising in an integrated approach to mental health, focused on the whole being.

We explore what it means to be human, how to create conditions for thriving, healing the mind, body and spirit, and cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness for improving your mental health and wellbeing.

The program has been designed specifically for people experiencing or at risk of stress, burnout, depression or anxiety, as well as those with more complex experiences of trauma, PTSD or suicide.

It has been developed based on lived-experience, evidence-based tools and therapies, and holistic perspectives of healing, incorporating embodied awareness, ancient wisdom and modern science.

 

We are born whole, though through challenging life experiences we may lose sight of our core essence — our spirit withers and becomes sick. By reconnecting with our heart, healing our mind, nourishing our body and honouring our spirit — our true nature — we can shift out of a state of surviving into thriving. I know because I have walked this path. I am here with you and can say that healing is absolutely possible.
