The
first core value of the Love Your Guts Seminars is that accurate and
skillful palpation skills precede effective treatment. We feel that
to be most effective you must be able to differentiate layers of
tissue from the skin to the spine.
Another core value of these trainings is that we work with the structural
body and the energetic / emotional body at the same time. There
is no way to tease these two things apart. Working with energy
is another palpation skill that is discussed, practiced and experienced
in class.
The last core value is that we teach our clients about their own
bodies. This means that we talk about normal physiology, how
various metabolic systems work, and the inter-relationship of the
nervous system, energy and structure. The teaching to others aspect is critical.
