Class Description
Every time you talk about Ortho-Bionomy, whether you are interacting with a client, someone you meet, or a friend, you are presenting yourself professionally and giving an “introductory talk.” Your feelings and excitement about Ortho-Bionomy come across in your words, energy, and body language.
To help you clearly and easily communicate about Ortho-Bionomy, this class will help you clarify:
What is Ortho-Bionomy?
What does an Ortho-Bionomy session look like?
How does Ortho-Bionomy feel?
What are the benefits of getting an Ortho-Bionomy session?
This Demonstration Skills Class will give you the confidence, knowledge, and experience to embody “being” Ortho-Bionomy, not just talking about it. Students will practice together in a safe, open, and supportive atmosphere. Whether you are a beginning student or finishing your practitioner program, this class can be an incredible experience!
