Introductory Classes are available to all students that are both an introduction to Wholistic Manual Medicine and offer unique insights and tools for the manual practitioner.
Any class can be repeated, and because each class is taught wholistically, the student will gain insights, skills, and likely jump levels in their understanding and practice of Wholistic Manual Medicine.

“Getting back to the basics of manual therapy – listening to the body, letting it guide the treatment. At the same time, being able to pull from what I know and incorporate it into what I’m doing now. Looking forward to more learning and shifting.
Thank you Dr. Barbour.” – AB

SECTION I:
WMM 1: Muscle. Emotion & AutonomicsFoundation course. The journey begins! Learn the template for all release procedures, in fact all “release” phenomena at the easiest level, muscle, emotion and the autonomic system! Learn a one minute screening evaluation of both the physical body and how it is being controlled by the mind to focus in on the key areas for further evaluation and treatment. Learn the relationship of muscle to emotion. Be able to have a greater impact on the well being of your patients and clients with less time, force, fatigue, wear and tear and energy. Learn how to prevent the phenomena of being drained by your work and certain client types. Break into higher levels of awareness of the human condition and human interactions and behaviors.
No Prerequisite.
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $500
Take everything we learned in WMM I – Muscle & Emotion; and apply it to our understanding of fascia and thought with an added dimension of complexity in WMM II. Explore the relationship of the fascia and the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. Hone the skills of evaluating structure and function and learn the critical role perception plays in how and where we treat.
Prerequisite: WMM 1
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $525
Fee for SECTION I: WMM 1 & WMM 2 taken at one event: $1000
SECTION II:
WMM 3: Viscera & FeelingsThe viscera operate under autonomic control, and so release in identical fashion to muscle. The organs are wrapped in a thick fascia, the capsule, which releases (as does all connective tissues), at the second quantum level of release; fascia and thought. So, here we are not learning a new level of release, rather, combining all of what we know and applying it to a different tissue. This will cement in the first two levels while adding additional subtleties that will prepare you for your next “leap” in awareness and skill in WMM IV; the osseous tissues/ bone.
Prerequisite: WMM 2
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $525
Learn the physiology of bone to facilitate release of entire regions of the body (remaining within the scope of practice of soft-tissue therapists). Apply the principles of release to the boney structures used in our initial screen. Get releases in all of the tissues in the fascia hanging from that bone. Make a quantum shift in awareness and results with less work. Understand the beginnings of spirit and the endocrine system and their relationships to bone and the rest of the body.
Prerequisite: WMM 3
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $550
Fee for SECTION II: WMM3 & WMM 4 taken at one event: $1050

The body is a living record of its history, good and bad, functional and dysfunctional. With our hands we can find the “imprint” of traumas, and facilitate its release, which allows for the self healing mechanisms to take over. The body then heals itself. Wholistic Manual Medicine is founded in the profound acknowledgment of the body’s tremendous inherent ability to heal and the science of how that happens.
Both structure (body, the anatomy) and function (its actions and outcomes) are evaluated in a sixty second screen which tells us where to look closer in the body and whether or not functional aspects (mind, behavior, metabolism, genetics, environment etc.) are prominent. We learn to “scan” the areas of interest discovered in our 60 second screen to find the key, or central area of hardness that requires release!
We look for asymmetries of position, motion, and pressure. We then balance these pressures to stimulate a body response which alters, in fact exaggerates these asymmetries to a logical end point, which is known as a (relative) “still point”. As we hold these asymmetries in the exact fashion and follow the changes, the release suddenly occurs, the tissues soften, and the breath comes in.
“Connecting the immune system to thought and going home with hands on tools to facilitate change in these areas is invaluable, thank you!” – CB
ADVANCED CLASSES
The following classes are intended for graduates of the Core Curriculum who have covered the first through fifth energy states. Advance Cranial 2 and Advanced Cranial 3 takes students to the next two and last of the major energy states.
Aqua healing explores the neuromuscular system and homeostatic load further with added leverage and power of waves in and out of the body for the release of the abnormally held motor reflexes and its associated energies. This in turn reduces homeostatic load and re- creates neuromuscular readiness: the willingness of the neuromuscular system to allow for deeper change and higher level releases.
Jumping levels takes the student from where they are functioning as Wholistic Manual Medicine Practitioners to the next level.
Putting it all together helps the practitioner to further integrate their skills and knowledge into a more cohesive and personal approach.
Vogel Crystal Technology 1 teaches the use of the Vogel healing crystal with Fulford processes to facilitate the release of energy blocks at all levels. Learn the basics of Vogle healing crystal technology. How to charge and “clear” or discharge quartz, and the process of release using the Vogle healing crystal.

ADVANCED AQUA HEALING
Prerequisites: WMM 1
7 Contact Hours
Fee: $300
In this class, also known as “whole wave”, we treat the patient/client by balancing the multitudes of waves found in the body resulting in an ejection pulse release of vast amounts of energy that had been stored in the body from multiple past traumas and diseases.
Prerequisite: WMM 6
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $600
This is the “source” class where we learn to balance all pressures so delicately and perfectly that, following the release of all discordant energies, there is a release of pure potential into the body. All lower level releases involve the release of stored, discordant energies, followed by increased respiratory function, with the breath reaching deeper into the previously restricted areas. At this level the release is all of the above plus the injection of source, zeropoint, pure potential into the body.
Prerequisite: WMM ADV CRANIAL 3 : Whole Wave
14 Contact Hours
Fee: $600
ADVANCED AQUA HEALING
Learn how to de-stress the bodies self healing mechanisms fast through complex neuromuscular re-education in water and create neuromuscular readiness (the ability to completely relax all muscles at the same time) in your patient/client. The state of neuromuscular readiness allows for your patient/client to respond more permanently to all other interventions and treatments. This is cutting edge, breakthrough medicine that teaches you many tricks and subtleties that can be applied on the table to get breakthroughs and speed recovery to a pain free state.

Quantum healing,
Quantum learning!
- Muscle and Emotion, associated with homeostasis (self healing) via the autonomic nervous system.
- Fascia and Thought, associated with homeostasis (self healing) via the immune system.
- Bone and Spirit, associated with homeostasis (self healing) via the endocrine system.
- The Cranial Rhythmic Impulse and the Cerebral Spinal Fluid.
- The Slow Wave and the Dura Mater, the heart of the entire fascial membranous system.
- The Whole Wave and the Central Nervous System with release of massive amounts of discordant energies in an ejection pulse.
- The release of pure potential or source, into the body, also known as the “mid-line release” in reference to embryology. The release of “unstructured, structuring, pre-energy”.
“I received so much valuable information! I look forward to future classes. I know what fascia is and what is looks and feels like. I know how to screen and feel things through my fingers and hands. I truly loved this class. It has given me a better understanding of the whole being. Mind, body and spirit.” – CC
