  • The Shock of Witnessing
  • Working with a Birthing Timeline (single episode) in relationship to the body

An Introduction to Biodynamic Visceral Manipulation
This is an introductive course to biodynamic visceral manipulation based on biodynamic and traditional osteopathic principles. Palpation concepts will emphasize that practitioners can palpate, hold, and dialogue with the structural, fluidic, and electromagnetic bodies of the organ (dense organ) and visceral (hollow organ.) The asking of whether the body would like direct or indirect (work with the ease) will be outlined briefly and palpation concepts will be taught to assist the practitioner in identifying and mobilizing an organ/viscera, a surrounding capsule (fascia), fluid, a nerve and a vessel. These techniques may then be applied to any living structure in the body.

This course is excellent for practitioners who are looking to gain a deeper, more biodynamic understanding of visceral manipulation while staying rooted in the anatomy. A foundational understanding of how to position the patient as the ultimate teacher and the primary guide to indication of therapeutic application frees the practitioner of having to make decisions from the hierarchy or from the mind. This will also prepare practitioners for the Three Bodies Course: The Full Spectrum of Biodynamic Visceral Manipulation.

Visceral Manipulation palpation skills and techniques will be taught to assist the practitioner in identifying and mobilizing the organ and will learn to identify the different levels of the structures (tissue, capsule, fluid, neural, and blood supply to the organs.) Very specific techniques will be taught to mobilize the visceral body on structural, fluidic and electro-magnetic level according to the traditional Osteopathic approach.


This course is excellent for practitioners who are looking to gain tools for those patients who may not be responding to treatment to visceral strains and shears that present as a primary cause. You will learn major hubs in the body that can influence and often pull on the 'visceral spine' and therefore pull on the rest of the body. The intention is to help the body align itself and to maintain self and co-regulation. The objective is to understand that the connective tissue that surrounds the structures and the vessels and nerves can pull structures out of alignment.
