The Course
Here is a detailed version of the curriculum of the course. I will be including information from a wide variety of sources and fields, all having relevance and applications to the pediatric age group and utilizing the principles of BodyTalk, just like I apply them in my own practice.
A significant feature will be two live demonstrations to show how I obtain important historical information from the parent and child, and then perform a treatment following the BodyTalk protocol. This will be a chance to see some of the principles we will be talking about in action with a real case in real time.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers and discussion as well. If you have questions beforehand or if you would like to arrange to have a parent and child from your own practice participate in the live demonstration, contact me now using the contact page and I will provide you with the consent forms and details to give to the parent.
