Mind–body medicine and science, taught with rigour and care
The Central Academy of Mind Body Medicine and Science is a London-based academy. We train, assess and accredit practitioners in mind–body disciplines, and support long-term research into how mind and body shape each other.
What the Academy does
Education
Courses in mind–body disciplines that emphasise clear concepts, methods that can be applied in practice, and a firm sense of professional ethics.
Accreditation
Assessment and certification of practitioners who meet the Academy's standards. Every certificate can be checked in our public register.
Research
Sustained study of the interaction between mind and body, including the questions that current methods cannot yet fully answer.
Areas of study
Three core disciplines, alongside a wider group of mind–body practices.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming
How language, perception and learned patterns of behaviour shape the way we communicate and change.
- Hypnotherapy
Focused attention and guided relaxation used to support stress management, habit change and wellbeing.
- Naturopathic Medicine
The principles of natural health: nutrition, lifestyle, herbal traditions and the body's capacity to recover.
- Further disciplines
Mindfulness and meditation, breathwork, expressive arts, aromatherapy, sound, mind–body movement and wellbeing coaching.
Our approach
A person is not a machine assembled from parts. Emotional change registers in the body, and the state of the body shapes how a person experiences the world. The Academy studies this interaction as a whole.
We teach with three commitments: concepts that are clearly explained, methods that work in practice, and an honest understanding of each practitioner's role and its limits.
