Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators

For healing practitioner Cybele, creating online courses is an ever-expanding experience. For her students, the courses become an ever-deepening and evolving journey. As a result, she has created a loyal base community that continues year after year.

Show Notes

Cybele is the creator of Cybele’s Well. Her courses guide students in using crystals and stones to cultivate embodied intuition and practice self healing. She brings her continued growth and training as a healer to her online community.

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Cybele about her unique course structures. 


In this episode we discuss:
  • The value of building a loyal community, regardless of size.
  • How doing what you find meaningful can translate into a course and business.
  • Why scaling just for the sake of scaling doesn’t serve any purpose.
  • The power of leaning into your strengths and gifts.
  • Creating a course that is tactile and experiential.
  • Designing a course journey that is ongoing. 
  • Using a sliding scale payment structure. 


“It's about the creativity and the community and the healing that happens. I mean, most of the people in this group, I've known for 20 to 34 years.”  – Cybele



Cybele (AKA Suzette Rochat) is a Lomi Bodyworker, Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, and Intuitive Stone Healer, who has practiced hands-on healing & intuitive work since 1979.

Over the past two decades, Cybele has taken her longtime practice of working with the body and dreaming into the earth-work of Stone Medicine.

Her meditations & devotional study of stone-lore and geology led to the creation of a pair of 8-session monthly workshops that combine healing work with stones, color and the chakras - the 7 Gates Journeys.

A long-time dream worker & ritual-maker, Cybele also offers birthday dream incubations with a stone for individuals. Find more info about Cybele at www.cybeleswell.com.

What is Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators?

Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students? If you want to learn how to create online courses from the best, you turn to Mirasee; and if you want to host that course, you can’t go wrong using the powerful platform, Ruzuku.

Ruzuku co-founder Abe Crystal and Mirasee founder and CEO Danny Iny know what it takes to stand out and be successful in the online courses industry. And now they’re teaming up to share this intel with you in their new Course Lab podcast.

In every episode, Course Lab showcases an entrepreneur/course creator who is nailing it with their online course -- and not because they’re teaching people how to make more money. In fact, most of these creators occupy unusual or overlooked niches, like music, writing for video games, overcoming inherent bias, and finding your life purpose.

Turns out, the key to their success all comes down to their online course design. In this podcast, Danny and Abe reveal the most important design tactics that are making all the difference for these online course creators -- and how you can implement them in your own online course. So if you want to create a successful online course that changes the lives of your students, this is your big chance to learn how it’s done from the best in the industry!
