What You Will Learn
This program will provide you with the ability to identify the underlying or root cause of a patient’s problem/dysfunction/dis-ease process. You will gain a deep appreciation of the interrelatedness of the entire system. In every aspect of this training all aspects of the body will be considered in relationship to the whole.
You will learn techniques that help you identify when beliefs held in the body and mind are suppressing someone’s strength, endurance, or capacity to heal. You will also learn strategies to bring these beliefs to consciousness when the patient is ready and facilitate them to release and shift when they no longer are serving the person.
It provides a comprehensive system that will tailor your approach to the unique needs of each patient in order to maximize effectiveness.
