In every manual therapy practice there comes a moment of quiet frustration.

You’ve trained extensively.

You know anatomy.

You’ve learned technique after technique.

And yet some clients plateau. Some chronic conditions don’t fully resolve. And occasionally you leave a session feeling like you were close to the root cause — but not quite there.

This is exactly why I created my 12-Month Practitioner Training.

Beginning in March 2026 in Bend, Oregon, this immersive program is designed for practitioners who want to move beyond technique collecting and develop a clear, reliable system for identifying and treating the true source of dysfunction in the body. 

 

A Small Cohort. A Deep Training.

This program is intentionally limited to 20 practitioners so that each student receives direct mentorship, clinical feedback, and hands-on refinement throughout the year. 

We meet for 10 two-day weekends over the course of the year, allowing time for integration between modules while steadily developing deeper perception and skill. 

This is not a certification course focused on memorizing techniques.

It’s a mastery container designed to transform the way you assess and work with the body.

 

Learning to Find the True Restriction

Many practitioners are trained to treat symptoms — where the pain appears.

But the body rarely works that way.

Restriction in one region often creates compensation throughout the entire system: the spine, organs, nerves, membranes, and circulatory pathways all influence one another. When these relationships are understood, treatment becomes far more precise.

In this training you will learn how to:

• Quickly identify the primary restriction driving a client’s symptoms

• Track layers of restriction through refined palpatory listening

• Treat chronic conditions that previously resisted resolution

• Work with the structural, visceral, cranial, and neurological systems as one integrated whole

• Deliver sessions that are efficient, precise, and deeply corrective 

 

By the end of the year, practitioners typically find they no longer feel like they are guessing where to work. Instead, their hands recognize patterns and the body begins to guide the treatment.

 

Anatomy You Can Feel

Each training weekend combines focused anatomical teaching with immediate hands-on exploration.

Students watch live demonstrations of full treatment sessions, then practice the assessments and techniques with close guidance. 

This approach allows anatomy to move out of the textbook and into your hands — where it becomes practical, intuitive, and clinically useful.

 

Built from Decades of Clinical Work

Over the past 27 years in clinical practice and more than 20 years teaching practitioners, I have worked to integrate structural, visceral, and cranial approaches into a single cohesive system of osteopathic-influenced manual therapy. 

Rather than separating modalities, the goal is to understand the body as one interconnected system — where organs, membranes, joints, nerves, and fluids all influence structural balance and health.

 

Who This Training Is For

This program is best suited for practitioners who:

• Feel there is more depth available in their work

• Want to treat chronic or complex conditions more effectively

• Are ready to refine their palpation and clinical reasoning

• Value a systems-level approach to the body

 

In short, it is for practitioners who want their work to become clearer, more precise, and more impactful for their clients.

 

An Invitation

The body has an extraordinary capacity to heal and reorganize itself.

Often the practitioner’s role is simply to identify what is restricting that process and remove it.

If you feel drawn toward a deeper understanding of the body and a more refined way of working with your hands, this training may be the next step in your evolution as a practitioner.

The upcoming cohort begins March 2026 in Bend, Oregon, and enrollment is limited.
