Lymph Drainage Therapy (Chikly) I, II, III, Advanced 1 (completed in 2015)

Visceral Manipulation

Understanding the deep fascial & visceral (organ) connections in the body, how to identify & release restrictions, to listen to the body's communications about these restrictions & to follow its lead to allow release. Each class is 4 days long. Each class has been taken twice - once in 2015-2016, and again 2023-2025 for refresher & updates on new techniques & adaptations. Experience performing this therapy and helping clients get great results since 2015.

Neural Manipulation

Understand the nervous system in great detail and its connections to the rest of the body - from brain & spine (including membranes & cranium) to cranial nerves that extend throughout the face & beyond, to peripheral nerves down the arms & legs to fingers & toes. ---- Identify & release restrictions in the nerves, nerve sheaths, and fascia as well as how to listen to & understand the body's communications about these restrictions to allow release. ---- Neural manipulation is an extension of Visceral Manipulation. We don't do one or the other; we listen to the body and follow its lead, then employ the techniques to address restrictions found in the various body tissues.

Manual Therapy for the Brain

This brain therapy is taught in 2 parts/approaches: structural & functional. ---- The structural approach is aimed at the vascular, nervous, meningeal, ocular, barometric, & cerebrospinal fluid circulation systems. ---- The functional approach explores the sense of smell, hearing, sight, language, coordination, proprioception, emotions, etc. ---- Pathologies such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, MS, stroke, seizures, etc. & the limitations of traditional manual therapy with regard to helping people with these conditions are discussed, as well as how a manual approach to the brain may transcend these limitations & help alleviate symptoms that people are experiencing due to these diseases. ---- Because the brain is inherently plastic, the tools learned enable the practitioner to help restore 'inner bridges' within the brain, which is vital to the life of those facing difficulties. ---- The principle underlying this work is the striking of a balance between the ease of minimum manual effort & the finesse of maximum manual precision.
