Welcome to the Circle

Caring Practitioners Circle (CPC) is a values-driven platform and community for therapists, coaches, facilitators, and holistic practitioners who are committed to offering care with integrity, curiosity, and connection. We bring together people working across healing disciplines—whether licensed or not—to collaborate, support one another, and reach clients through a trusted, human-centered ecosystem.

At the heart of CPC is a personalized, AI-powered matching tool that helps clients find practitioners who truly align with their needs, values, and personality. Our platform also offers retreat listings, a sound and music library, mentorship opportunities, and co-creation tools designed to make practice-building more collaborative and less isolating.

We believe healing happens in community—and that practitioners deserve the same care they offer others. With roots in ethics, consent, and cultural humility, we’re building a space where the circle keeps growing—one connection at a time.
