It is the perfect place to begin your Ortho-Bionomy learning journey.

How does Ortho-Bionomy work?
Ortho-Bionomy differs from many forms of body work in that it doesn’t use pain to treat pain, or use forceful work to oppose what is structurally occurring within the body. We work supportively with the patterns currently at play within the body, informing the nervous system about the structure and its patterns. Information given this way creates a follow-on effect through the body's natural self-correcting reflexes. This allows corrections to occur naturally and comfortably for clients.

What will I learn in a class?
Ortho-Bionomy Practitioners are trained to assess imbalances in the body that may cause pain or dysfunction. Then, using gentle but deliberate movement, practitioners assist and track the client’s body as it accesses the self-corrective capacity, to return to optimum health. Each class involves a combination of learning, demonstration, and hands-on practice.

No Pre-requesites are required to attend this class

Cost: $450
Early payment fee of $400 is available if payment is made by 2/8/25

Upcoming Events
Consultations with Karen Consultations with Karen

As part of your tutorials, in the Practitioner Training program, a Consultation is one-to-one time that you arrange to spend with a Registered Instructor or Associate Instructor to discuss your own questions and concerns about any aspect of Ortho-Bionomy. Not all of the private discussions need to be with your advisor. This time spent discussing your training, or expanding your understanding of ways you work in your clinic, can really support and compliment what you learn in classes.

  On-line Demonstration Skills course

Being able to talk about Ortho-Bionomy in a coherent way that leads to people saying “that makes sense” and booking a session is the expected outcome from this course. It took me about 18 years to really get this piece nailed down, now I get about 70% conversion from talking about Ortho-Bionomy to a potential client to them booking a session.
