Apply for Certification
Prerequisite: Completion of the SoulWord Story Method™ 6-Week Live Course
You're ready to carry
this method forward.
You're a coach or therapist
You work with people in transition, healing, or transformation, and you've been looking for a structured storytelling framework to bring into your practice.
You're an educator or writing teacher
You teach writing, lead workshops, or facilitate group experiences and want a proven, emotionally grounded method your students can actually use.
You lead retreats or live events
You create immersive experiences and want to add a powerful storytelling component that goes far beyond a simple journaling exercise.
You lived the method and felt the shift
You completed the 6-week course and you know, from the inside, how transformational this process is. Now you want to offer it to the people you serve.
You must have lived the method before you teach it.
Every certified SoulWord Facilitator has completed the full 6-Week Live Course first. This is not a formality, it's the foundation. You cannot hold space for someone else's story excavation if you haven't done your own.
Six modules.
Everything you need.
Self-paced, deeply practical, and built around the real work of facilitating transformational storytelling.
The Method Deepened
You experienced the SoulWord process as a writer. Now you'll understand it as a facilitator. We go beneath the surface of every step, the psychology, the emotional architecture, and the why behind each element of the method.
Holding the Space
What does it actually mean to hold emotional space for someone excavating a painful story? This module covers emotional safety, what to do when someone breaks down, how to guide without leading, and how to protect your own energy in the process.
Facilitating the SoulWord Process
How to run a SoulWord session 1:1, in small groups, in workshops, and at retreats. Timing, pacing, prompting, and what to do when a writer gets stuck. You'll leave this module knowing exactly how to lead someone through every step.
Building Your Offering
How to package and price your own SoulWord-based services. What you can call your work, how to market it, and how to position the certification in your bio and on your website. This is where the method becomes income for you.
The Licensing Agreement
What you're agreeing to as a certified SoulWord Facilitator. How to use the name and framework with integrity. What is and isn't permitted. This module protects you, your clients, and the method itself.
Certification Assessment
You'll submit a recorded facilitation session, a real SoulWord session you lead with a willing participant. This is your final step. Upon approval, you receive your certification, your listing in the official SoulWord Facilitator Directory, and your license to practice.
You walk away with
everything you need.
The ability to guide anyone through the full 5-step SoulWord process in any format, 1:1, group, workshop, or retreat
Official SoulWord Story Method™ Facilitator Certification and digital badge
A signed licensing agreement authorizing you to use the SoulWord name and framework in your practice

A fully built offering, priced, packaged, and ready to sell to your existing audience
Access to the SoulWord Facilitator community, a private space for certified facilitators to connect and grow
This method was built to protect the people who use it.
The SoulWord Story Method™ works because it was created from lived experience, grief, healing, transformation, and truth. Every certified facilitator is held to the same standard. This is not just a course completion. It is a commitment to integrity.
This method
was lived before it was built.
"I didn't create this method in a boardroom or a course-building workshop. I found it in the middle of my own grief, in the moment I realized that healing often begins with a single word. Everything I've built since then has been in service of helping other people find that doorway. The facilitators I certify are not just learning a framework. They're becoming stewards of something sacred. I take that seriously. And I know they will too.", Emmy Dunn, Creator of the SoulWord Story Method™
Emmy Dunn is the founder of the SoulWord Story Method™ and Narrative Shift Pathway Studio. She is a transformational storytelling coach, memoir writer, and self-publishing guide whose work helps ordinary people transform lived experience into published legacy.
