EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY, MISSION STATEMENT and DESCRIPTION
As humans who deal repeatedly with the physical, emotional, chemical, and energetic challenges of life on a planet affected by strong gravitational forces, we are constantly striving to achieve and maintain a state of dynamic equilibrium.
The mission of these teachings is twofold:
1) to teach body workers, chiropractors and therapists fundamental principles grounded in anatomy, physiology, and craniosacral therapy and 2) to provide experiential techniques in Dynamic Body Balancing that will support the bodies innate desire to achieve a state of homeostasis.
Participation in this 100-hr. program will give the attendee the ability to address areas of imbalance in all parts of the body, from the cranium to the lower extremities. While this training is on adults, graduates of this program will also acquire the confidence to work with children, as the focus of Level II-IV will include the care of pregnant women and children.
