Workshops for Therapists of all Somatic modalities
Los Angeles student, 2008
Fractals and Geometry
Understanding planes and angles of geometry to access the inner core is the foundation of this workshop. The correct use of hands in practice when thinking into the interior is a essential part of working on the body to release tension patterns, therefore this program covers all the basics to amplify your practice, using any modality in your current skillset.
Neural Resonance Therapy® programs are only available to practitioners with a minimum of 200 hours of training. The Fractal Anatomy and Geometry of Healing program is a pre-requisite for this class and is done online prior to the in-person workshop.

Specific Conditions and Solutions
For advanced students only, this workshop allows us to take what we have integrated into our own practices and trouble shoot specific conditions we find in practice. Those who have been to two Level 1 workshops can apply for this client specific program.
SIGN UP HERE TO BE NOTIFIED OF UPCOMING COURSESBefore coming to a live workshop, students must have a minimum of 200 hours of training in a somatic modality such as massage, shiatsu, craniosacral, hellerwork etc.
This program is suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners in the above modalities, including those of acupuncture and chiropractic.
Whether beginner or advanced, students must have gone through the Fractal Anatomy and Geometry of Healing program before coming to a workshop. This will offer you the equivalent of many workshops much more inexpensively, and allow us all to begin on similar terrain when we get together to work hands-on.
This ensures you get the most out of our time together, and you leave with a full sense of how to incorporate this into your work after only a week together.
It's highly recommended, but not mandatory, that you come to a Fractal Anatomy and Somatic Stretch® retreat, which is often run just before an NRT retreat. Therapists need to work on their own issues, and this retreat is guaranteed to have you learn about parts of your body you didn't know you could feel. This is essential for being able to work with clients as we can only work on others as well as we know our own bodies. It also helps reset your therapist burnout, and get you prepped for how to really 'work to core' with much less hand/finger pressure, once you've experienced the inner map of your own geometry, first.
All students must have an online call with Meredith prior to registration. Only twelve students per workshop will be accepted.
Geometry opens doors to an internal, quiet conversation that is hard to explain until you experience it yourself.
Whether you are an experienced therapist or at the beginning of your studies, we start with some hand techniques that will help establish our connection with the core of the body, where frequency meets matter and the nervous system is most accessible. From there we cover some essential acupuncture points that are best to use in hands-on work to unwind core issues, and spend a lot of time in and around sacred geometry. The more we see and understand angle, form, wave and tissue, the better we can use the modalities we love best and become re-inspired about why we got into this field in the first place.
This workshop covers the concepts of fractals, western physiology, meridians, and a seemingly endless weaving of things like Kundalini, taoist dantiens, Wilhelm Reich, the torus of physics and composite dodecahedrons, among other wonders.

Level one is an excellent class for beginners, and also for more advanced students who have already been through the program. This is because the more a student becomes familiar with the material, they more they can gain experience in class with acute and chronic issues.
Level 2 is only for advanced students who have graduated to a suitable degree and want to bring clients in for deeper analysis, or wish to focus on specific cases they are having difficulty treating.
It is encouraged that students come to a Level one workshop twice before applying for a Level two class.
Real words from Real Students
"You are a passionate, skilled and intuitive therapist and teacher. Your work highlights the possibilities that all somatic work provides for healing, discovery and personal growth."
Toronto, Canada
'I approached this workshop low on confidence, as my massage work was very much in transition. I came away with so much new insight and confident that I could really learn from - and through - this subtler approach. I then triggered an amazing release on what presented as an acute shoulder problem on one my clients. It was almost like lancing a boil, the relief was immediate and dramatic! My confidence was growing! Now that you have given me a foothold for learning the meridians I feel I can really take this work forward with more confidence.
