Proud Wellness Directory

Be part of the first LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness business directory and membership community — a space where values-driven practitioners connect, grow, and lead with real inclusion at the heart of their work.

Proud Wellness offers two ways to get involved, depending on the level of connection and support you're looking for.

What’s included:

You can join our free Practitioner Directory to be part of the network, or step into our Monthly Membership for deeper community, visibility, and professional growth.

Joining us is much more than just adding a rainbow logo to your website, every wellness professional that joins us meets our LGBTQIA+ inclusive business standards.*

We offer a limited number of bursary memberships are also available each year—please reach out if you’d like to be considered.

All memberships include a Priority (Featured) Practitioner Directory Listing upon sign-up, provided our Professional Practitioner Member standards are met.

We offer a sliding scale pricing structure that reflects our commitment to economic justice, making membership accessible to people from a range of financial realities.

We invite you to thoughtfully consider what you're able to contribute, using the Green Bottle Method by Alexis J. Cunningfolk (she/they) as a helpful guide.

  • The laser mentoring with Sarah is a fantastic opportunity to have supportive eyes on your work. She immediately identified ways I could further improve how I welcome and show up for the LGBTQIA+ community. I feel like that one session was worth my Directory Membership fees!

    Rosemary MacClennan-Crump, PT & Menopause Coach

  • Proud Wellness is a must join - there is nothing like it out there and the ethics, core values and support are absolutely top level. From someone who has worked in EDI & B for well over a decade I cannot recommend Proud Wellness highly enough

    Fliss Goldsmith - Wellbeing & Empowerment Coach

Introducing the Proud Partner Pathway

The Proud Partner Pathway is our unique approach to providing you with the essential training and resources to develop your skills, knowledge and understanding in the core elements of running an LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness business.

Every month we deliver a live training workshop focused on a key topic within one of the Pathway modules along with an exclusive member CPD resource.

The images below shows the list of training topics planned for the year.

At Proud Wellness, we’re creating more than just a directory — we’re building a trusted, inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ clients feel genuinely supported.

To protect this space, all listed practitioners must meet our professional and inclusion-focused standards. We recognise that access to training and opportunities isn’t equal for everyone, and we’re here to support you in meeting these requirements with care and equity at the heart.

*Proud Wellness Directory Member Standards

  • When you join us as a Proud Wellness Partner (PWP) you will be enrolled onto our PWP Onboarding Training. This online training will ensure you have all the information you need about how to make the most of being a Directory member and the support available to you as a PWP. You will also be able to use your official Proud Wellness Partner Verified badge after attendance!

    *CPD includes training courses, conferences, workshops and personal research. If you are unsure if your CPD is applicable please contact us here. (You will be asked to provide evidence of CPD undertaken.)

    We appreciate that LGBTQIA+ people come from many different backgrounds, often with multiple marginalised identities. We recognise that barriers to equitable training and opportunities exist. Proud Wellness is committed to providing a space for all wellness practitioners, with a special focus on elevating the voices of those of us who are particularly marginalised in the wellness sector.

We want to work with you to help you successfully join our directory.

If you have any further questions, please contact us here, and we will arrange a call with you to discuss the next steps, thank you.

Proud Wellness Partner Directory FAQ

  • We have created some guidance with examples to support you in providing your CPD hours HERE. CPD activities are broad and can include the following:

    • Evidence of working to support LGBTQIA+ clients either one to one or in a group setting.

    • LGBTQIA+ Inclusion Awareness training courses (online or live in person).

    • LGBTQIA+ Inclusion Specialist training courses (online or live in person).

    • Volunteer work for LGBTQIA+ charities, community groups or similar.

    • Attendance at LGBTQIA+ Education & Human Rights conferences, seminars and learning events.

    • Study and reading about LGBTQIA+ history, rights, current law and legislation.

    • Clinical supervision, peer mentoring, reflective practice.

    A library of suggested resources will be available to support your ongoing CPD soon.

  • As acknowledged above, many of us have been failed by the systems we are living in and may not have access to all of the requested documentation. 

    We are happy to work on a case-by-case basis to support your application. For example if you state you are a licensed therapist you must provide evidence of such but if you state you are a consultant then you can provide insurance proof that you are insured for consultancy services and relevant CPD evidence. 

  • Every year we have a small number of free Partner Plus+ memberships available to queer wellness practitioners or queer owned wellness businesses who are on low income or don't have the resources to join us.

    Please get in touch with us if this is you by emailing hello@proudwellness.com, we’d love to help.
