What is the Myofascial Energetic Release Training?
In the Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) Training, you will learn the art and science of providing deep bodywork with assisted stretches, myofascial unwinding, joint mobilization, trauma and emotional awareness with release.
The objective of MER is for you to develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills to successfully root yourself into your own personal experience of MER. In turn, you will skillfully facilitate a transformational experience with your clients and create a thriving practice.
The main cause of pain and tension in the body is over-contraction of the five types of soft tissue: Muscle, fascia, skin, ligament, and nerves. This chronic tension blocks blood circulation, oxygen, and vital energy to these soft, sensitive tissues.
The Aproach
As you learn how to firmly and gently open the body’s deeper soft tissue layers, you encounter stuck energy in the form of shortened, hardened tissue. You will master how to skillfully apply sensitive deep touch to release these energy blocks.
This touch, in alignment with the Pro-Active Participation of the client’s deep breathing and your verbal cues, allows your client to develop awareness of the cause of pain.
In the training, you will learn to activate the body’s natural ability for self-regulation and healing, giving your client profound and lasting relief from pain.
The goal of a Myofascial Energetic Release session is to relieve pain, restore physical function, and achieve balance between the body and mind, allowing the client to lead a full, active life.
The Myofascial Energetic Release Training consists of seven 6-day modules and 7.5 hours of online course for practitioners seeking to delve deeper into releasing emotional energy (“Trauma Release” module and the online courses staying optional until May 1st, 2025).
All modules are conducted at our training centers located in the Netherlands.
In total, the training comprises 450 hours, encompassing the core modules as well as additional online courses, including Body Reading Types and Trauma and Nervous System.
The 7 modules create an environment where learning takes place with empathy, presence, and acceptance.
The common thread woven throughout the training is the core emphasis on meditation. Meditation nurtures a calm mindfulness with an open presence as you work with a client.
