How we vet practitioners — and why it matters.

Every practitioner here has been vouched for by the community, not ranked by an algorithm.

  • At least two existing community endorsements
  • First-three-clients verified review before public listing
  • Stewardship interview — we talk to every lineage-track applicant personally
  • Cultural & ethical protocol adherence (indigenous practice consent, plant medicine legality)

Wellness washing dies through community stewardship.

"Wellness washing" is when a practitioner, a brand, or a venue performs the aesthetic of healing without the substance. We see it everywhere. It hurts the people who genuinely need help. It corrodes trust in everyone doing real work.

The list on the right is what gets a profile rejected — or removed.

Self-certified credentials

"I'm a master healer because I say so." We need lineage, school, hours, or formal training. Self-attestation alone doesn't pass.

Medical claims without licensure

"Cures cancer / depression / autoimmune disease" — not on this platform. Adjunct support: yes. Medical replacement: no.

Cultural appropriation without consent

Indigenous practices held without lineage permission. Sacred ceremony performed for entertainment. We talk to every shamanic / ceremonial applicant personally.

Pay-for-placement

Not available. Ever. The first profile a explorer sees is the one their network vouches for the most — not the one that paid for it.

Anonymous / paid reviews

Only verified clients can review. Practitioners caught soliciting fake reviews are removed. The trust mechanism is the platform.

Plant medicine where illegal

We honour the work. We protect the practitioners and the community. Where regulation is unfolding, we work with practitioners to ensure both legal and ceremonial integrity.

What you need before you apply.

01
Background check

Criminal background check from country of residence, verified via a secure third-party provider. One-time, non-transferable.

02
Insurance

Valid public liability or indemnity policy, with receipt, covering the area of practice. Renewals tracked annually.

03
Qualification certificates

From an accredited course or recognised lineage. For lineage-based modalities: lineage-holder verification + practice hours documented in interview.

04
Valid ID

Government-issued identification matching the application name. Not required for licensed massage therapists — credentials and licence already serve this function.

Vetting is tiered by trust.

3
Referred by a member

3 verified-client endorsements + interview. The referrer's reputation is implicitly attached.

6
Referred by an outsider

6 endorsements + interview. Someone took the time to recommend, but they're not on the platform — we ask for more independent validation.

8
Self-applied

8 endorsements + interview. No trust anchor in the network — highest bar of independent endorsements.

3
Lineage-based

3 client interviews + practitioner interview. Credentials don't exist on paper — we replace endorsement count with qualitative depth.

Three paths in.One bar.
