Course Overview

The Vitalis Practice Operations & Business Steward (PSS-B) bridges the gap between guardian philosophy and sustainable practice. This 10-week certification trains coaches in the art and science of running a guardianship-centered business: ethical marketing, scope-of-practice boundary management, client retention through trust architecture, financial stewardship, and legal awareness. The core belief: 'A guardian who cannot sustain their practice cannot sustain their guardianship.' PSS-B is built for coaches ready to build careers, not just collect certifications — professionals who understand that business acumen is not a compromise of guardianship, but an extension of it.
