Aura-Soma Academy is the teaching home of the Aura-Soma colour system, founded by Vicky Wall in 1983 and carried forward by Mike Booth since 1991. Across more than 90 countries, hundreds of thousands of people have been drawn to the colours, and the Academy trains the teachers and practitioners who guide them. They came to us for a colour therapy membership website that could hold the whole community in one place, from a first curious visit through to full practitioner certification.
The teaching was already there, but the platform was not. Courses were being run by teachers in Japan, South Korea, Germany, Taiwan and the UK, with no single place for students to find them or book a place. Practitioners were hard to track down, so consultation enquiries quietly went nowhere, and every profile change had to be made by the Academy team. Almost everything the Academy sold was a one-off purchase, so income arrived in lumps rather than building steadily month after month.
We built a membership website design and course platform on WordPress and WooCommerce that brings all of it together. Members choose the tier that suits them, students book in-person or on-demand courses in their own currency, and practitioners keep their own profiles up to date so people can find them. Behind the scenes, the Academy team can add courses, teachers and dates themselves, without coming back to us each time. You can see it at aura-soma-academy.com.
Plenty of long-established organisations sit with the same quiet problem. Decades of teaching, a loyal worldwide following, and no straightforward way for any of it to be found, booked or paid for online. The work is not to invent something new, it is to give what already exists a proper home, then let it earn.
