Radical Healership

“Radical Healership is the book that astrologers, tarot readers, counselors, and other healing practitioners need. It gives you good advice from an experienced healer … about what it means to heal as a job without wanting to make it a job. It is a book that embraces you.”
—ALICE SPARKLY KAT, author of Postcolonial Astrology

“Northrup shows you how to take care of your financial, spiritual, and emotional needs as you stay true to your radical values. Get ready to feel as if you’re in a deep conversation with a wise mentor who always tells you the truth.”
—ANNIE SCHUESSLER, host of the podcast Rebel Therapist

“If you’re looking for an anti-oppressive, anti-capitalist, spiritually led book to help you start or build your healing arts practice, start right here.”
—JENNIFER PATTERSON, author of The Power of Breathwork

—CHASE DESSO, acupuncturist

“Reading this book feels like being welcomed into a growing web of creative practitioners who are bravely shaping the future of our healing professions in a direction that we desperately need.”

—PHILLIPPE CITRINE, MFT, Generative Somatics Coach, founder of the Peacock Course private practice training for trans, queer, and social justice healers

“Northrup’s voice … is unflinchingly REAL—intersectionally attuned, purposefully confessional, often gloriously blunt, and intentional—with clear frameworks for healing. This a self-help book for the helpers.”
—JOHN MINK, social studies teacher and editor of Teaching Resistance

“Northrup’s personal stories, professional anecdotes, radical know-how, and fiercely compassionate outlook inspired me to see and nurture parts of myself that are critical to my healing practice.”
