Practitioner Training Programs in Ortho-Bionomy
Ortho-Bionomy Australia oversees two professional training programs for Ortho-Bionomy® Practitioners developed by the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International – the Registered Practitioner Program and the Registered Advanced Practitioner Program. Both programs are designed to give students a thorough understanding of the principles and philosophy of Ortho-Bionomy in addition to providing extensive hands-on experience in both seminars and supervised practice.
Students choose an Instructor as an advisor during their training. The advisor assists the student while they complete their curriculum through one-on-one discussions as well as feedback and evaluation sessions.
In addition to the Practitioner Trainings there are also training programs for Instructors and Advanced Instructors.
Contact us if you would like more detailed information about any of the training programs.
