The Body Tune Up​

 

We live in a fast-paced, overstressed world, and our health suffers because of it. Many people experience chronic symptoms and illnesses while others simply learn to live with mediocre health and accept that as normal. Our backs hurt, our bellies ache, anxiety and depression are more and more common...all of this is just accepted as a normal part of life.

 

If you are drawn to this page, perhaps you too are sick and tired of this reality. Perhaps you too want to help redefine 'normal' health and create a higher standard of wellbeing. If so, I invite you to consider becoming a practitioner of The Body Tune Up.

​​

​

What is The Body Tune Up?

 

THE BODY TUNE UP (BTU) is a two-part holistic healing modality that can make a profound difference for people struggling with chronic pain, illnesses, digestive disorders, and other ailments.

​

Imagine being able to relieve your partner, child, friend, or client of back pain or migraines in a matter of seconds. Imagine that you can make indigestion or acid reflux disappear without taking medicine. With the Body Tune Up, I have seen this and more!

​

The goal of the BTU is to bring people back to optimal health AND to empower them to take charge of their own well-being through re-patterning the body, increasing sensitivity to what the body needs, and educating them about making healthy choices.

​

Part 1 (Stress-Toxin Management) focuses on Healing Leaky Gut Syndrome and its many symptoms. Leaky Gut is an increasingly common condition that arises when people take on more stress then they can handle. Too much stress overloads the digestive system, which stops functioning properly leading to a state where toxins intended for elimination are recycled through the body creating an increasingly toxin internal environment that results in numerous symptoms including:

• Indigestion/Upset Stomach

• Nausea, Constipation, Diarrhea

• Acid Reflux & Heartburn

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• New Food Allergies or Sensitivities​

• Skin Disorders: Psoriasis, Eczema, Rashes

• Chronic Pain/Inflammation

• Autoimmune Conditions

• Depression & Anxiety

• Excessive Anger/Mood Swings

• Generally feeling mediocre or less than optimal health

• Any other chronic symptom that won't go away, even after trying various treatments

The first step is to check for Leaky Gut by muscle testing the function of different valves in the digestive tract. When the valves are not functioning, Leaky Gut is present. We then use manual bodywork adjustments to correct the valves and a 14-day Meal Plan to let the gut heal. This effectively restores health to the digestive tract and people often watch their symptoms lesson or vanish.

​

 

Part 2 (Passive Structural Alignment) is about bringing the spine and other bones into proper alignment to relieve pain and improve vitality. The practitioner uses muscle testing to assess the alignment of the spinal vertebrae, ribs, hips, sacrum, cranials, and more. Any bones that are out of place are corrected using a gentle press-in-place technique based on Orthobionomy. People suffering from back pain or migraines caused by misaligned cranial bones often experience immediate relief.

​

This work is quick, simple, and non-invasive, making it an excellent tool for massage therapists. PSA and massage compliment each other very well when working with back pain. Correcting misaligned bones addresses the underlying cause of much pain that would not be solved by massage alone. The massage in turn relaxes the muscles and tissue which helps the alignment stick.

 

 

About the Training

 

In this all-inclusive 7-day training, you will learn both pieces of the Body Tune Up. You will begin by learning the art of Applied Kinesiology - using muscle testing to assess the body and get direct answers about what it needs. Muscle testing relies on two premises: that the body has an innate wisdom and knows best what it needs for its own healing AND that we can use the body as a 'biofeedback mechanism', to get direct answers from the body itself.

​

Next we will focus on Digestive System Rebalancing. Over 2 days, you will learn:

• To balance meridians using different acupressure points to bring the body's energy system fully online.

• To test the function of 5 different aspects of the digestive system and reset them.

• A 14 day meal plan to heal the colon

• To muscle test different foods, herbs, and supplements.

 

The following 2 days will be devoted to Spinal Alignment. You will learn how to test and correct misaligned vertebrae, ribs, cranials, and more.

The final full day of class is a practicum clinic where you will have the opportunity to offer BTU sessions to members of the community with supervision and support! You will leave this training with the skills to offer this work to clients, family, or friends.

 

In addition to learning the work, you will be receiving it and going through the healing process yourself. Students will give each other Tune Ups every day and you will be following the meal plan for 14 days. We will be providing your food for the week you are in training, and you will get to experience cooking your own meal plan food for the 2nd week following the course. On day 14, will reconvene for a follow up session where everyone will share their experience of completing the meal plan. We will share a final meal together and you will receive your certificate! Certificates will only be handed out if you complete the meal plan, because if you haven't ever done it yourself, how canhave credibility when recommending it to others?

​

​

Is This Course For You?

 

This class is open to anyone and everyone. Bodywork experience is not required. The Body Tune Up is a great modality for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and nutritionists to add to their repertoire for helping clients, but it is also a fantastic tool for people to use with friends, partners, and family members!

​

I can't tell you how many times a simple spinal alignment fixed my back pain after a long day of work...or how a quick adjustment of the stomach instantly relieved indigestion or acid reflux. These are such helpful skills for any human being to have.

​

I am really passionate about this work and want to spread it to as many people as possible! I invite you to join us for this training and let's work to raise our society's standard of living, by reminding people what true health feels like!

Through individual healing, we heal the world!
