Victoria Bagnell is the founder of Health Manifested, an online platform dedicated to making human design, astrology, and spiritual wellness more accessible, intuitive, and affordable. Her membership-based learning system empowers everyday learners and aspiring lightworkers with transformative tools—all in one cohesive online environment.

Her journey to building a global, multi-instructor platform started with limited tools and major roadblocks.

The Challenge: Outgrowing a Basic WordPress LMS

Before switching to LearnDash, Victoria used WP Courseware on a basic WordPress setup. But the platform couldn’t keep up with her vision for quality, scale, and collaboration.

“I was never able to achieve the clean, organized look I wanted. The design felt limited and didn’t reflect the quality of my content.”

Even after custom builds and financial investment, the solution still lacked the collaboration and scalability she needed. She wanted to support multiple instructors and offer a seamless experience without backend complexity.

The Turning Point: Discovering LearnDash

Everything shifted when Victoria found LearnDash through the BuddyBoss platform. The combination of course design flexibility and the Instructor Role add-on gave her the tools to deliver on her mission.

“LearnDash gave me the structure and design options I was missing. I can now deliver a professional experience and build a collaborative learning community.”

A True Learning Ecosystem—Powered by LearnDash

Victoria didn’t just want to teach—she wanted to build an ecosystem where others could teach too.

Today, HealthManifested.com supports instructors like Steve Adkins, who teaches mediumship, all powered by LearnDash.

Her complete tech stack includes:

• LearnDash Instructor Role – Enables course creation for guest instructors
• Paid Memberships Pro – Manages access levels
• WooCommerce – Processes payments securely
• LearnDash Certificate Builder – Rewards milestones and boosts motivation
• BuddyBoss – Adds community features for deeper learner engagement
• LearnDash Notes – Tracks student progress
• A custom-built directory – AI-driven search to help users find instructors by specialty

“LearnDash and Instructor Roles let me teach my courses and empower other professionals to shine on my platform.”
