Consulting Skills in Spanish
Begins Nov 7 – Led by Magali Morales
You’ll learn how to:
- Communicate with impact and sensitivity
- Navigate strong emotions and complex topics with grace
- Deliver readings that empower rather than instill fear
- Build trust and rapport through every stage of the client journey
The training includes lectures, experiential exercises, and peer-to-peer practice, allowing you to refine your consulting style and receive supportive feedback. You’ll explore effective listening, ethical boundaries, unconscious bias, and how your own chart influences your consulting presence.
This course is for you if you want to:
- Offer readings that are insightful, empowering, and memorable
- Confidently handle challenging dynamics and sensitive material
- Create a safe, inclusive space for clients of all backgrounds
You don’t need to be a certified astrologer to benefit. Many graduates have launched or revitalized their practices with renewed confidence and depth.
This training is a required step in OPA’s Certification Program and often leads to lasting professional connections and friendships within the astrology community.
