We welcome a wide range of evidence-informed and body-based wellbeing practices. These include, but aren’t limited to, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong, breathwork, massage, and wellness coaching. Our focus is on approaches that support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, ideally with some grounding in research, established tradition, or embodied practice.

While we appreciate the personal value many people find in spiritual or intuitive practices such as astrology, tarot, or energy work, we currently prioritise modalities with an evidence base or strong roots in health and wellbeing.

We generally do not accept counsellors or psychotherapists, as our platform is focused on non-clinical, complementary wellbeing services rather than clinical mental health support. However, we do consider applications from therapists with in-depth training in body-based, somatic, or nervous system-informed approaches, as this kind of work overlaps significantly with our own focus on embodied, holistic wellbeing.

We ask for a minimum of B2 (upper-intermediate) English to ensure you can communicate clearly and confidently with clients. If your sessions are delivered in another language, or you work in a hands-on modality with little spoken interaction, we may make exceptions. Just get in touch.

We accept massage therapists who are qualified to Level 3 or above (e.g. VTCT, ITEC, BTEC, or equivalent) and whose insurance explicitly covers the type of massage they offer.

Whether you're applying or already on the platform, each service you offer must be backed by training that meets the following core standards:
- A structured curriculum
-Real-time learning hours (live on Zoom is fine)
- Practical application (e.g. case studies or practice sessions)
- Ideally, feedback, mentoring, or supervision
- Accreditation or recognition from a professional body (e.g. BAMBA, ICF, EMCC, Breathwork Federation, Yoga Alliance)
- You must be insured to offer any services you list on your profile

*What about CPD?*
If you’ve completed at least one full training that meets these standards (for example in mindfulness, coaching, yoga), you may also be able to add services based on CPD or self-study. That additional training should:
- Come from a recognised or accredited provider
- Ideally include at least 30 hours of structured learning
- Offer relevant, practical tools
- Fall within your existing scope of practice
- Be covered by your insurance

Please be clear and honest on your profile about the level and depth of training you've completed. There is a big difference between completing a 120-hour live, mentored course like the Breathworks mindfulness teacher training and a 30-hour self-paced CPD course. Both can be valuable, but they serve different purposes. Being transparent helps attract the right clients, builds trust in your services, and gives you confidence in how you present your work.

Clients deserve to know what kind of experience they’re booking. If someone expects in-depth knowledge and later finds your training was minimal, it can lead to disappointment, negative reviews, and a loss of trust in both you and the platform.

This doesn’t just impact one person. It affects everyone listed on My Wellness Match. Fewer bookings, lower confidence in the site, and a weaker sense of community. That’s why we ask all practitioners to be upfront about their training and scope of practice. It protects your reputation, supports client safety, and helps the platform thrive.

No. We don’t accept short, self-paced online courses (like those from Centre of Excellence) as standalone qualifications for offering services such as meditation, breathwork, or coaching.

These types of courses can be useful as continuing professional development (CPD), but they don’t provide enough depth or structure to safely offer these services to clients on their own.
To be listed as a practitioner, your main training should include:
- A structured curriculum
- Real-time learning hours (live on Zoom is fine)
- Practical application (e.g. practice sessions or case studies)
- Ideally, some form of feedback, mentoring, supervision, or support
- Accreditation or recognition from a relevant professional body (e.g. BAMBA, Breathwork Federation, ICF, EMCC, Yoga Alliance)

Generally no, but there are exceptions.

My Wellness Match is focused on non-clinical, holistic approaches to wellbeing such as mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, massage, coaching, and other body-based practices. We don’t typically list talk therapists, as there are already many other directories for that type of service, and our aim is to offer something different: accessible, practical, and body-led support for everyday wellbeing.

That said, we do welcome applications from counsellors or psychotherapists whose work is clearly aligned with our approach, especially those trained in somatic, body-based, or nervous system-informed methods. This might include modalities such as somatic experiencing, polyvagal-informed practice, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, integrative breath and movement techniques, or something else along these lines.

To be considered, your training in this area should be in-depth and form a core part of your work (rather than a short CPD add-on). If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Yes, you set your own rates for private clients. For corporate clients, we offer a fixed session rate to give organisations consistency in their contracts. While the rate is set, working with corporate clients may offer more stable and predictable bookings, which can complement your freelance schedule.

If you don’t see the modality you offer, the type of support you provide, or specific client access needs reflected in our filters, just get in touch. We’re happy to add new options where they align with our approach. Our goal is to make it easy for clients to find the right match and for practitioners to feel seen.

That said, we don’t currently list certain spiritual or energy-based practices such as reiki, astrology, tarot, or crystal healing. We also generally do not list counsellors or psychotherapists unless they have in-depth training in a body-based, somatic, or nervous system-informed approach.

We truly value the role these other modalities play in people’s lives, but for now we’re focused on grounded, practical, and embodied support that complements everyday wellbeing.

Yes! As a freelance practitioner on My Wellness Match, you're in full control of your schedule. You can work as many or as few hours as you like, and adjust your availability at any time. Whether you want to offer regular sessions or just occasional ones, it's completely up to you.

Yes, all scheduled sessions are shown in your local time zone. Just make sure your correct time zone is selected in Settings to avoid any confusion.

Yes, our site is mobile responsive and works on phones and tablets. However, there is no dedicated mobile app at this time.

To make your profile shine, you could add an intro video, a clear bio, skills, experience, and languages. Use SEO-friendly keywords to help clients find you in search. If you offer in-person sessions, include your location in your profile. Mention your modalities and areas of concern you address - this helps clients who aren’t sure what they’re looking for. You can also tag any access or support needs you accommodate.

Need a new filter added for your modality, concern, or support offering? Just contact support and we’ll help!

We currently use LessonSpace for video sessions, our subscription does not currently include recording. If a recording is ever needed, for example for supervision or personal review, we will explore secure options and always get your full consent first. In the future, we plan to upgrade to a service that offers optional session recording.
