Small intimate class held in Calgary
IFR Foundations Class in Edmonton October 2009
- Great Somatic Awareness! A pleasure to instruct….
Each Foundations class has a different flavour for an instructor…what I can say generally about Canadian practitioners that is different from their American or Australian counterparts, is that their somatic education is much more institutionalized in the delivery of their underpining knowledge….NHP Canada fosters this and several of the provinces allow for much more somatic content and exploration…that said these participants in my workshops already understand indirect technique, energetic approaches and to a certain part somato-emotional release. It is an honour and privilege to travel with these folks to interesting places and great heights….

Practicing Spinal Awareness Exercise
Practicing Spinal Awareness Exercise
I was able to present at the 21st National NHP Canada conference my Fibromyalgia: Clinical Approaches to the Manual Therapist. What a great day! Particpants are practicing an imagery & intent exercise called spinal awareness float using an airbed. Again the quality of presence and somatic awareness was astounding. Luminous moments are the best way to describe the experience. I was astounded as much as the participants were by the results. Great tools to help the Fibomyalgia sufferer.
Also introduced was the Two Point technique & ””Fulcrum”” (Giammatteo) to use with those of great soft-tissue sensitivity.
