Society of Ortho-Bionomy, Australia

A BRIEF HISTORY of ORTHO-BIONOMY® in AUSTRALIA (continued) Ortho-Bionomy continued to grow through regular teaching visits made by Arthur's protégés - Kathy Kain (from 1986), Zoee Crowley (from 1988) and Ian Stevenson (from the late 1980's). The regular visits from American instructors meant that formal Ortho-Bionomy training was, and is still, conducted in Australia under the auspices of the Society of Ortho-Bionomy® International Inc. Ortho-Bionomy was also incorporated into programs organised by the somatic psychotherapy communities in Sydney and Melbourne. Courses were also held in Tasmania and Adelaide. Allison Baensch became a participant and co-coordinator of Kathy Kain's early workshops in Victoria. She trained with Arthur to become Australia's first registered Ortho-Bionomy teacher in 1994, practising in Melbourne. Dorothy Rooney from Sydney became Australia's second teacher. (page 2 of 5)
