Service Offerings

Mentoring, Supervision, Student Placements, & Immersive Technologies

In addition to educational programs, Anam Cara provides guidance at the intersection of therapeutic practice, ancestral wisdom, and emergent technology—supporting practitioners, students, and researchers to deepen their relational skills and ethical presence. Grounded in the SWIM Model and EMPATHS values, our mentoring and supervision foster integration, creativity, and discernment. SWIM is not just a framework, but a living practice—embodied first by the practitioner, then extended into the healing relationship.
