Learn With Guidance

Live teaching & practice

Begin Where You Are

Two entry points. Your journey.

A Personal Message from the Academy

Discover how we help you bridge the gap between two worlds.

FOR THE PERSON YOU ARE. AND THE ONE YOU’RE BECOMING.

You can be accomplished in life.
And still feel unsure about this.

Perhaps you’ve had experiences you want to understand. Perhaps you’ve taken courses, practiced with friends, and wondered why doubt still finds its way in.

“How do I know when to trust what I receive?”

“What if I’m not as far along as everyone else?”

“Could this next chapter really be for me?”

You don’t need all the answers to explore your next step.

Your Experience Matters

Come as you are.
Begin where you belong.

You may be beginning, returning, or ready for more. Your starting point should reflect the experience you bring.

01 Build Your Foundations

Begin at Level 1

If you’ve never really trained, or you’re still wondering where you belong, Level 1 is your starting point.

✓ Explore the foundations of psychic and medium work
✓ Develop your understanding of perception and ethics
✓ Build your practice one step at a time
03 Build On Your Experience

Enter at Level 3

Already had prior training? You can take the mandatory $97 readiness assessment to determine if your baseline qualifies you to enter directly into Level 3.

✓ Have your existing knowledge and ability diagnostically assessed
✓ 100% of your $97 fee credited toward tuition upon checkout
✓ Complete Levels 3 and 4 with the cohort toward certification

Two starting points. The same commitment to standards. Levels 3 and 4 are mandatory for certification in your chosen modality. Previous training does not waive them, and passing the readiness assessment does not itself confer certification.

Learn in your own space.
Grow with my guidance.

With complete access to the video lessons from day one, you can learn and practice whenever your schedule allows. Our twice-monthly live sessions make room for your questions, readings, and individual development.

Student learning and practicing in her own personal space
Live Practice & Genuine Connection
REAL LEARNING. IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE.

Your space.
Your notebook.
A new possibility.

The full video library is ready when you are. Watch at your own pace, put each concept into practice, and note where you need clarity. Then bring your actual experiences into our live sessions.

You can take this seriously without having everything figured out.

01 / LEARN

Make sense of what you’re exploring.

Progress through the video lessons at your own pace as you move through the program. Revisit any topic whenever you need, and prepare your questions before we meet live.

02 / PRACTICE

Give your learning somewhere to grow.

Put the lessons into practice through readings and reflection. We’ll help you find people to practice with, so you can begin applying what you learn.

03 / DEVELOP

Recognize your progress. Understand your next step.

Meet with Lisa twice a month for questions, coaching, and hot seats. Bring your readings and the places where you feel stuck, and get help in real time.

The $97 Readiness Assessment · Direct Level 3 Entry

Already have prior training?
Discover exactly where you stand.

If you have studied elsewhere or practiced on your own, you shouldn’t have to repeat what you already know. The Readiness Assessment evaluates whether you qualify to step directly into Level 3 client work.

What the assessment evaluates

01

Perception & Mechanics

Distinguishing intuitive impressions from mental analysis, ego, or guesswork.

02

Energetic Boundaries & Ethics

Grounding protocols, protection, and managing energy cleanly across sessions.

03

Evidential Readiness for Live Clients

Readiness to immediately begin documenting the 25 required readings at Level 3.

Levels 3 & 4 are mandatory for all

Every certification candidate must complete Levels 3 and 4 in each chosen modality. The readiness assessment establishes your starting level; it does not waive Levels 3 & 4 or automatically confer certification.

The 50 reading requirement remains

Entering at Level 3 requires completing 25 documented readings at Level 3 and 25 at Level 4, followed by your final certification weekend and exams to earn the registered Certified Spiritual Advisor (CSA)® mark.

Lisa Williams Mentor Welcome
A PERSONAL WELCOME FROM LISA

“I’ll meet you
where you are.”

You bring a lifetime of experience with you. Your questions deserve attention, and your development deserves care.

I want to hear your readings, understand where you’re struggling, and help you work through it. As we move through the cohort together, I get to see your development and coach you in real time.

Lisa Williams

Your teacher. Your guide.

Maybe you don’t
need another course.
Maybe you need a standard.

Information can teach you how psychic and medium work is done. But information alone can’t answer the question that’s been following you: “Am I actually ready?”

“That’s why the Certified Spiritual Advisor (CSA)® pathway is different. You don’t receive the designation because you watched lessons. You earn it through practice.”

You don’t need more reassurance.
You need evidence.

Confidence built on encouragement disappears the moment something goes wrong. Confidence built on experience, repetition, feedback and evidence has something to stand on.

The 50 Reading Standard

By the time you reach your assessment, you won’t simply be hoping you’re ready. You’ll look back at the work you’ve actually done.

MORE TIME FOR THE PART THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Bring the reading that challenged you.
Let’s work through it together.

With complete access to the video lessons on-demand, our live cohort sessions focus on your actual practice. Lisa listens to readings, answers questions as they arise, and coaches you through the nuances—following your growth in real time.

✓

“You won’t have to guess in isolation. Bring your actual client recordings, notes, and the places where doubt crept in, and we’ll break down what really happened.”

REAL CARE · REAL CLIENTS

“Where readings move from nervous guesswork into steady, heartfelt presence.”

01

Live coaching & hot seats

Twice-monthly sessions give you opportunities to bring your work forward, explore what’s happening, and receive practical guidance from Lisa.

02

Drop-in office hours

Additional support is available when you need help beyond the main cohort sessions.

03

A cohort to move with

Ask questions in your cohort group and stay connected as you learn and practice together.

04

Help finding practice clients

We’ll help you find people for your practice readings so you have opportunities to develop your skills.

“A rare opportunity to develop your practice with this level of direct guidance from Lisa.”

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

What you’ll commit to

A four-month cohort. At least 6 of 7 live calls per chosen certification path, with active participation. 50 documented readings per path—25 at Level 3 and 25 at Level 4—plus required assessments. Students beginning at Level 1 also join the foundation calls.

Emotional Support & Ethical Reading
THIS PART OF YOUR LIFE MATTERS, TOO

You don’t have to turn this into a career for it to be meaningful.

You may want to serve others professionally. You may want to deepen your own understanding. Both are valid reasons to explore your development—with the same care, practice, and ethical foundations.

Certification Standards & Commitment

The Certified Spiritual Advisor (CSA)® certification is designed to be an immersive, participatory experience. Along the way, you’ll learn through video lessons, connect through live sessions with Lisa and your fellow students, put your skills into practice, and demonstrate your growth through assessments and your final certification weekend.

To be eligible for certification, you must complete the following requirements for each certification path you choose:

🎥

Live Participation

CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT AND YOUR MODALITY

Your pathway.
Your tuition, clearly.

A modality is the discipline you choose: psychic or mediumship. Start with the foundations, or enter at Level 3 after meeting the readiness assessment requirements.

ONE MODALITY · LEVELS 1–4

Build from the foundations

$2,750

ONE MODALITY · LEVELS 3–4

Build on your prior training

$1,997

Or 3 monthly payments of $696 / mo

$97 assessment fee will be credited upon checkout

Take the $97 Assessment First →
Most Comprehensive
BOTH MODALITIES · LEVELS 1–4

Complete Dual Certification

$4,997

Or 6 monthly payments of $916 / mo

Psychic and mediumship

Complete dual certification across all 4 levels in both modalities, including live mentor circles and final exams.

Readiness assessment fee: $97. Required if you wish to enter directly at Level 3. 100% of the $97 fee is credited toward whichever tuition pathway you pursue upon checkout.

A LITTLE MORE REASSURANCE

Your questions
are welcome here.

Yes. You can explore Level 1 as a starting point for your foundations. Confidence is something to develop through learning and practice; you do not need to arrive with every answer.

If you have previous training and want to begin at Level 3, you must take the $97 readiness assessment. It checks whether your knowledge and ability meet the entry requirements. Approval is not automatic. If you are new to training or unsure where to begin, Level 1 is the starting point.

100% of your $97 fee is credited toward your tuition upon checkout. If you qualify for Level 3, your remaining balance reflects the $97 deduction. If recommended for Level 1, the $97 is credited toward your Level 1–4 tuition. You lose nothing regardless of outcome.

No. Levels 3 and 4 are non-negotiable for certification in each chosen modality. The readiness assessment only determines eligibility to begin at Level 3; it does not award certification.

You move with your cohort and watch video lessons at your own pace. Twice a month, you meet with Lisa for real-time questions, readings, coaching, and hot seats. Drop-in office hours and a cohort question group offer additional support, and we help you find practice clients.

The current program allows outstanding requirements to be completed during the following four-month cohort. Ask the Academy about the arrangements that apply to your circumstances.

No. Personal development can be your reason for joining. The certification pathway still involves the required practice, participation, and assessments.
