Join Heidi Jost-Nicoll RN, NDH, CH Teacher, Practitioner and Founder Therapy Collective, as she presents ATP1, Abdominal Therapy for Professionals: Part 1, in Caledonia, Illinois, USA.
This experiential, professional-level class focuses on the anterior portion of Abdominal Therapy as presented by the Abdominal Therapy Collective, Inc. (ATC), and works holistically with body, mind, and spirit.
This training is open to all professional therapists who hold a qualification in anatomy and physiology and who are able to perform massage on clients within the legal requirements of their state or country.
While Abdominal Therapy for the anterior body is an effective stand-alone treatment, we suggest you complete Part 2, which allows both you and your client a greater insight and opportunity for whole-body wellness.
The professional development course begins by giving you tools for your own self-care. As you experience this work in your own body you will gain a unique perspective of Abdominal Therapy’s effective techniques. You will be fully qualified to work with clients and to teach individuals the Abdominal Therapy Collective’s unique ‘Your Abdominal Massage’ (YAM) for their continuing health improvement. Having established this work through your own experience, you will then learn to apply these techniques in a professional capacity to be offered to your clients.
This four-day class will enable you to share the anterior element of the work created by Dr. Rosita Arvigo. The class will be taught via practical demonstration, a sharing of treatments with other students, and an in-depth exploration of anatomy and physiology as it relates to our work.
Included in this is course:
- The history and lineage of Abdominal Therapy.
- Abdominal and pelvic anatomy and physiology.
- Common signs and symptoms of pelvic and abdominal conditions.
- How to perform Your Abdominal Massage (YAM).
- How to perform Abdominal Therapy on your client’s anterior body.
