Thank you for your interest in my programs. This website provides both an overview and detailed descriptions of the comprehensive and progressive somatic learning opportunities offered by Body Therapy Associates. Selecting continuing education that’s right for you can be difficult with so many available options. If you choose to study with us, you can expect:

Balanced instruction in the art and science of somatics, including anatomy, theory, research, advanced technical skills, and intuitive and emotional sensitivity.
Course designs and teaching methods that incorporate contemporary adult learning theory to maximize all students' learning, emphasizing problem-solving, dialogue, and clinical application of material.
Maximal hands-on time with meaningful tableside assistance (two-and four-day workshops).
Easy to read textbooks that are rich in comprehensive theory, research, and informative graphics.
Experience-based, refined education from a career teacher, seasoned practitioner, and widely recognized maternity, myofascial, and somato-emotional specialist.
Detailed student handbooks to maximize retention and utilization of workshop material (included in workshop tuition).
Content that is regularly revitalized by implementing ongoing studies and feedback.
An integrative somatic approach incorporating the insights and selected techniques of Ida Rolf; myofascial and neuromuscular therapies, movement, osteopathic soft-tissue techniques, and other Western methods; applied tai chi principles; and emotional processing.

Approved continuing education credits with NCBTMB, Florida Board of Massage, AMTA, ABMP, and other agencies.

My staff, sponsors, and I are all committed to your learning and respectful of your time and money. We provide preparatory suggestions, a learner-friendly workshop atmosphere, prompt and on-track classroom management, and personalized instruction. Follow-up tutoring is available when needed.

We help to facilitate your on-going learning and practice success even after your workshop ends. Postgraduate guidance is available through periodic newsletters and graduate workshops, individualized consultations, our varied courses, books, and videos, and our internet-based information and certified practitioner programs.

Regardless of which of our excellent instructors conducts a workshop, attendees are overwhelmingly thrilled with their learning experiences; they refer most of our students. Graduates are in successful private practices and in meaningful collaborations with physicians, midwives, chiropractors, and psychologists in varied medical, healthcare, and spa settings.

I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you soon, and we welcome your further inquiry.
