This Ortho-Bionomy foundation class uses osteopathic-based, painless, and gentle body positions to work with both general and specific tension patterns. This method is practical, structure oriented, and works with neuromuscular self-correcting reflexes. The techniques of this class can alleviate tension patterns of the shoulder & psoas within 10-30 seconds.

It is amazing how such gentle and simple techniques can give such deep releases. It is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.

This three hour introductory class can be used for Phase 4 requirements for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs.

This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations for working with the pelvis and organs, and finding more challenging positions of comfort to facilitate the release of muscular tension and overall stress by stimulating the inherent, self-corrective reflexes of the body which help the body create structural alignment and balance from within.

In Phase 5 we soften our being and quiet our minds creating a greater sense of self-awareness. This allows us to listen on a deeper level and connect with the person we are working on both physically and energetically. We call this a Phase 5 mood.

In practice we make contact, with an area of the body, to be addressed and wait for the body spontaneous movement to guide us as we observe their process towards self - correction and balance. We can also initiate a Phase 4 movement or start an exploration of movement and then shift into a Phase 5 mood to allow the person’s body to guide us.

In this class, participants learn to evaluate and address inefficient postural habits through accurate observation and simple exercises.

Techniques to work with spinal curvatures and scoliosis are presented and practiced. Post techniques focus on assessing and releasing areas of tension as well as integrating the work done in a session.

In addition, exercises are taught to facilitate the client's ability to maintain balance through the neuro-muscular re-education of postural habits.

This class presents the Chapman's Reflexes system of identifying and stimulating reflex points to facilitate lymphatic drainage and the balancing of the organs.

The class also focuses on the relationship between the neuro-lymphatic reflexes and the endocrine system and its effect on structural balance as well as the individual's physical and emotional well-being.

Four 4-hour class sessions Nov 4, 5, 18, 19 (T, W, T, W) from 9am-1pm pacific, 10am-2pm mountain, 11am-3pm central, 12pm-4pm eastern.

This class uses anatomy images, movement, and hands-on palpation to explore anatomical language and experience all the major bones and muscles of the human body in a way that is immediately and practically useful for bodywork practitioners.

I absolutely love studying the anatomy of the human body and can’t wait to share my passion for this with you!

This anatomy course is perfect for students starting out in their bodywork training, for laypeople who want to know more about the anatomy of the human body as they work with friends and family, or for students at any level who would like to review and renew their anatomy knowledge.

The advanced study of the principles that govern the Ortho-Bionomy® relationship to the brain, fluids and structure.

In this class we will use Ortho-Bionomy to explore the urinary tract and the reproductive system. We will work with the individual organs and look at their relationship to each other. We will also look at the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting structures. We will work with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, uterus, prostate, ovaries, spine, pelvis, and the pelvic floor.

“When we work with the pelvis. We are addressing the very core of our stability. Pelvic stability has a major impact on how we meet the earth and walk in the world on a daily basis as well as enhancing total body health”. Darlene Smith

This class takes a deep dive into the human fascia system and how we as Ortho-Bionomy Practitioners can not only listen to, but also address adhesions and trauma affected here.

This is a profound class and a lot of fun!

Time: 2:30-5:30 pm Mountain

Study groups are tailored to the participants’ needs and give students a chance to review techniques, receive clarification about the application and principles of Ortho-Bionomy® and to gain insight about specific client cases or situations that concern them.

In this Study Group we will explore ways to work with the tongue and jaw on ourselves. We will go over anatomy to clarify muscular attachments and innate relationships. We will see how working with the jaw and the tongue- while including the pelvis, neck and other structures leads to more integrated and lasting release.

This will give you tools for working with yourself as well as a deeper understanding which you can apply in your practice. Incorporating work with the jaw and the tongue can be especially helpful addressing TMJ joint disfunction, whiplash, sinus issues, neck pain and more. Plus it is quick and deeply relaxing.

You will have the opportunity to spend some time outside class coloring images and doing other explorations that facilitate your learning process. The 2-3 week interval between each class will allow time for you to practice anatomical palpation with friends and family and for the information to integrate into your system between classes.

If you have any questions about the contents of this course or wish to discuss the requirements and how they relate to your specific situation, please text 415.595.0328 so we can set up a time to talk further about how this course can meet your needs.

This course fulfills SOBI’s 32-hour anatomy requirement for the Practitioner Training Program.

*Contact me for more information about palpation partner requirements. The partner does not have to be the same person for each class.

Our aim with this Residential experience is to provide an opportunity for participants to immerse in Ortho-Bionomy learning and practice, and experience personal growth in their own unique way.

The Hervey Bay area, and its surrounds, provide a lovely part of the world for this experience. Imagine yourself there by the sea, sharing and learning with members of the Australian Ortho-Bionomy community.

Residential training programs provide participants with the opportunity to broaden and deepen their understanding of Ortho-Bionomy techniques and principles through an in-depth immersion for five or more days of uninterrupted study. Residentials allow time for learning and personal growth as well as relaxation to facilitate the integration of technique, philosophy and the qualities of "being" rather than “doing".

Are you just beginning your journey into Ortho-Bionomy, or are you a seasoned Ortho-Bionomist? Both ends of the spectrum, and all levels in-between, will find comfort, ease, relaxation, and maybe develop new awareness yourself and Ortho-Bionomy. Come immerse yourself in Ortho-Bionomy in the tranquility of the Panoche Valley.

This remote, high desert valley is an hour from the nearest town and is surrounded by the Diablo Mountains. We will blend the Phases of Ortho-Bionomy and give you insights on how to improve your work.
