“Tamala Floyd brings so much care, skill, vulnerability, and dare I say, magic, to the teaching of IFS. I love the way this self-paced course is set up with didactic portions, meditations, and modeling that supports practical applications. It’s so evident how passionate Tamala is in bringing this healing model to anyone who is ready to connect more deeply with their own internal world. This course is so important in making this kind of healing accessible to people of any and all backgrounds. I would recommend this to anyone who is curious about IFS and wants to build a practice of connecting their parts at their own pace. Bravo!.”

– Sand Chang, PhD

“I could not imagine a better method or teacher from whom to learn this IFS model. Tamala walks us through each lesson in bite size pieces, offering her own parts to illustrate the work. Her warmth and human-ness are captured in these tutorials which help my own parts to want to engage even more. Seriously, I never expected a self-paced online learning modality to feel so intimate and engaging.”

– MeeMee L., LPC, LAC, Certified IFS Therapist

“Healing Works Academy is a self-paced program from Tamala Floyd (The Living Ancestor) that offered me a gentle, consistent place to return to myself through an IFS lens and the grounded guidance of Listening When Parts Speak. I’m a therapist and coach, but I’m sharing this as a human—someone who genuinely appreciated being invited to tend my own healing and inner system with care. The teaching felt human, humble, and deeply respectful of pace, and that alone helped my system soften. The platform is easy to use, and the self-paced design made it simple to return when I had the capacity. The meditations and guiding questions gave me language that felt compassionate, not clinical, and helped me listen to my parts with more curiosity and less judgment. Over time, it supported a more trusting relationship with my system and helped me notice my parts with more curiosity and respect. Overall, it left me with greater clarity, greater self-trust, and more usable tools—making the work feel doable in real life, not just a concept. I received complimentary access to the training materials to provide an honest testimonial; no other compensation was provided.”
