Three separate checks, shown separately — because they mean different things. A badge tells you the paperwork is real. It does not tell you whether the teaching is for you.
✓
Identity
Who they say they are.
A government document matched to this name by a third party.
✓
Payout account
Payment goes where it should.
A bank account held in the same name — money cannot be diverted elsewhere.
✓
Training and lineage
The paperwork is real.
Certificates and the body that granted them, uploaded and readable on the profile. We confirm the document exists; we do not assess the teaching.
And what it does not mean
✗That we endorse or rate their teaching — a room is not a school, and a badge is not a review.
✗That a gathering is right for you, safe for your body, or suited to your experience — read the listing and message the host.
✗That any claim in a bio is true beyond the three checks above.
Reporting a concern
If something a facilitator claims does not match their badge, or you have a safety concern, tell us — we look into every report and can suspend a listing while we do.
