INTERNATIONAL META CONSCIOUSNESS ACADEMY
You are not defined by a diagnosis, nor limited by a prognosis.
This work is about coming back into relationship with your body — not overriding it, not fearing it.
In a space full of noise and contradiction, we hold a point of orientation.
A lighthouse, to bring you back to you.

META CONSCIOUSNESS IS AVAILABLE TO ALL
Two Ways to Explore Meta Consciousness
The Meta Consciousness approach isn’t for everyone but if any of this resonates, we invite you to explore further.
For Practitioners
META CONSCIOUSNESS ANALYSIS COACH TRAINING
For Your Own Healing
PERSONAL HEALING & SELF DISCOVERY
A DIFFERENT LENS ON HEALTH
We Are Individually Crafted Eco Systems
Only you know what it will take to create a profound and lasting shift even if at times that feels just out of reach. There is an intelligence within you that already knows what is no longer working; it does not need to be taught, only recognised.
Origin
It has a context
What shows up physically reflects the experiences, patterns and beliefs you have lived often outside conscious awareness. We look at the themes, history and internal responses shaping your health.
Direction
The change sits with you
A doctor, therapist, coach or practitioner can support your process but the direction of change does not sit with them. When symptoms return, it's rarely random; something deeper hasn't yet been addressed.
Practice
Honesty and participation
This is where we begin not at the level of the symptom, but with the patterns, assumptions and subtle ways you avoid, deflect or hand your power away. Not a quick fix, by design.
A GENTLE CHECK-IN
This may be for you if…
- You’ve done everything you’ve been told, yet something still doesn’t make sense.
- You're no longer satisfied with surface answers even widely accepted ones.
- You’re ready to understand what’s driving your symptoms, not simply manage them.
- You sense your body isn't against you, even if it feels that way.
- You’re ready to make sense of your symptoms, your story and your life through a completely different lens.
- You're ready to take responsibility for your process, not hand it over.
- You’re ready for a different conversation about health, healing and human potential.
Not quite ready?
This can feel big. If you’re a practitioner, this will change how you see your clients and how you work with them. And if you’re overwhelmed by the amount of information out there, let’s connect for a gentle chat no pressure, just a conversation.
STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
What it feels like from the inside
I would highly recommend Penny’s introduction to Meta Consciousness. I was looking to deepen my understanding of the basic principles of the ‘Meta’ view of health explained in a simple way and my expectations were more than satisfied. Penny’s passion and enthusiasm for choosing health shone through the workshop. The power point presentation was very clear and there was ample opportunity to ask questions. The exercises and questions related to our own life experience, sharing our answers with another person and then with the group, had a profound impact on my understanding. New beliefs and realisations came into my awareness and especially how my energies had become entangled with ancestral energies and those of my immediate family. It was possible to feel vulnerable in a safe space, holding ourselves with love and compassion, knowing there was no judgement.
I came to Penny’s Meta Consciousness course to connect to my body and understand its ailments from the bio - logical perspective. I thought I knew what to expect as I have explored various methods based on New German Medicine and the Mind - Body connection. However, the experience exceeded all my expectations. There were laughs and tears, and plenty of knowledge balanced with practical exercises. I had profound insights that would normally come after a good Matrix session. But the most crucial part is that I was able to make a compassionate connection with my body under Penny’s gentle guidance. My aching organ immediately responded when I made the connection to the exact emotional conflict that caused it.
My biggest wisdom came from understanding how one major emotion had shaped my life and body and that of my family.
What can I say? I'd been wanting to do a training - any training - with Penny for years and even with such a build up it didn't disappoint! How could it? Penny's fun bubbly energy is infectious - even after what (for me)
was a 4am start! Her knowledge of the subject is seemingly unending and is only matched by her deep compassion for others. I had many
"aha" moments and no doubt I'll be spending a lot of time going through my notes. In short, the course was a veritable treasure trove. I'm ecstatic to have done it and, once I've thoroughly reviewed the material, hope to move forward to learn more.
If you're thinking of working with Penny don't think, just do. She's brilliant. You won't regret
it, I promise
Having attended this workshop with Penny previously, because I enjoyed her teaching style I was excited to reattend and my expectations were again met. This helped me have a deeper delve into some issues that were not clear to me, the ah ha moment was great. Personally I find the brain relays fascinating, having been working and immersing my self in holistic therapeutic treatments and healings for majority of my life, now in my 60s this resonated with myself and my family members to an amazing degree I came away with the innermost knowing that we are more in control of our health than we have been led to believe! Meta makes so much sense not only how our bodies work but how illness is a process BUT how we can recover too. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is in the least bit curious about health and how to navigate your healing process
Hi beautiful soul, just writing to you to express my greatest, deepest gratitude feeling to you & you are always in my prayers - my lymph node under throat is gone- This is a testimonial for Penny on my profound journey of discovery and healing.
I saw her for 1.5 hr sessions in total.
I approached Penny in Aug 24 because of fears of having lymph nodes swollen since March last year. 3 weeks after working on myself the big lump under throat is gone!
During the session I had lots of feelings about my identity coming up such as not being able to speak to my family and have certain boundaries with them. Acceptance of all this was a main factor. Also separation with them. I feel that Penny has encouraged me and guided me through the correct path - so that I could explore what was going on at a deeper level. Working with Penny using matrix Reimprinting and meta consciousness and letting go of beliefs we create has allowed me to let go of issues I was totally stuck into including pushing love away.
I here share my story hoping it will encourage you to help your healing ❤️🩹 journey too.
Our Vision
We at IMCA believe that no one needs to be imprisoned in physical or mental suffering.
By connecting people to their inherent freedom and joy, we can awaken our innate healing ability and learn to reunite the secret language of body, mind and soul. Nature does not make mistakes.
We are lighthouses in the quagmire of health choices.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Penny Croal is the founder of IMCA and creator of Meta Consciousness™, a pioneering framework that explores the connection between health, emotions, consciousness and human potential.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a practitioner, trainer and mentor, Penny helps people understand themselves more deeply, navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, and reconnect with their natural capacity for healing, growth and transformation.
What We Offer
We meet you where you are, without keeping you there.
This is not another approach to managing symptoms.
It is an invitation to explore the hidden relationship between your body, your emotions, your behaviours, your life experiences, and the deeper intelligence that has been guiding you all along.
The Body as Wise Messenger
We listen to both physical symptoms and emotional states as meaningful communications rather than mistakes to be silenced. Every adaptation has a purpose. Every symptom has a story. Every behaviour emerged for a reason.
The Hidden Map Beneath Symptoms
Symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Together we explore the relationship between physical symptoms, emotional patterns, conflict shocks, life events, behaviours, beliefs, and the stages of healing. What once appeared disconnected often begins to reveal a coherent pattern. The body is not working against you. It may be revealing something that has not yet been fully seen.
Nervous System & Embodied Awakening
Your nervous system carries extraordinary wisdom. Through polyvagal understanding, somatic awareness, and consciousness based approaches, we help restore connection to your body’s natural capacity for safety, regulation, adaptability, and flow. Healing is not simply something you think about. It is something you learn to embody.
Soul-ution Maps
Each person who enters our work is unique. Through our Soul-ution Maps, we bring together symptoms, emotional patterns, behaviours, life experiences, biological adaptation, and consciousness into a living framework that reflects your individual journey. What once felt fragmented begins to make sense. What once felt confusing begins to reveal direction.
Integrative Tools for Lasting Change
Our approach combines biological understanding with practical tools that create real world transformation. Drawing from EFT, muscle testing, somatic approaches, personal transformation processes, and consciousness based methodologies, we support meaningful shifts that can be experienced not only intellectually, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Reclaiming the Person You Were Born to Be
Many of the patterns we carry began as intelligent adaptations. At some point they helped us survive. There comes a time when survival is no longer enough. This work supports you in moving beyond unconscious adaptations and reconnecting with your natural vitality, wisdom, purpose, and potential. Not by becoming someone new. By remembering who you have always been.
A Living Community of Depth
Transformation rarely happens in isolation. Within our global community you will find connection, shared wisdom, live trainings, masterclasses, mentorship, and ongoing support from people who are committed to understanding themselves and the deeper intelligence of life. A place where curiosity is welcomed. A place where questions are encouraged. A place where growth is shared.
