One of the major goals to which The International Alliance of Healthcare Educators is committed is the presentation of high-quality educational programs for interested healthcare professionals from all disciplines. Course material was designed to follow as closely as possible the original curriculum established by the founders of each modality. Your workshop will be conducted by a Certified Instructor, a practicing healthcare professional who has completed an extensive teaching apprenticeship program.


Aston Therapeutics (AT) is systematic method of assessing and analyzing each body as a whole and unique ecological system. This clarifies the causes vs. the compensations related to the clients musculo-skeletal complaints and enables practitioners to form a hypothesis about the most time efficient and personally tailored sequence of treatment.


Applications of the Feldenkrais Method® for CranioSacral Therapists (FMC). The Feldenkrais Method® is a unique and sophisticated approach to human development, learning, and movement. Invented by Moshe Feldenkrais, an Israeli physicist and martial artist, the Method is internationally known for its ability to improve areas of human function such as posture, flexibility, and self image.

Energy Integration (EI) is a gentle, non-invasive technique that allows you to work with the human energy field as it manifests through the meridian and chakra systems. Energy Integration is based on several key beliefs from Eastern and Western principles: energy follows thought, you can attain freedom from the past, experience is not what happens but the meaning we give to it, and the body is the icon of our character. This course helps you develop the skills to integrate energy work into your practice.

Fascial Mobilization (FM) aims to produce a well-balanced, mobile and symmetrical body within the skeletal, soft tissue and craniosacral system. The fascial system consists of a laminated connective tissue sheath that spreads uninterrupted throughout the body in a three-dimensional web. Because it is an integral part of all anatomical structures, it plays a vital role in the functioning of the body. Restrictions within the fascial system can contribute to pain and dysfunction. These restrictions can be caused by postural imbalances, asymmetries, gravitational pulls, induced microtrauma or macrotrauma, inflammation and abnormal tension or pressure.

Healing from the Core: Grounding and Healthy Boundaries (HFC)
This course teaches how to develop a strong therapeutic presence; how to be grounded; how to have healthy boundaries that enable participants to feel more deeply connected to those around them without burning out; how to read and understand their own unique energy field; how to rejuvenate under stress; and how to bring more joy and nourishing energy into their lives daily. Although each person's healing journey is individual and unique, the basic, underlying principles in that journey are the same. These principles are explored conceptually, then physically and emotionally as participants use them to deepen their awareness of their unique energy flow and learn how to develop it through intention, felt sensation, expanding and reframing awareness, breath, sound, movement, and journaling.

NeuroMuscular Therapy (NMT) is a scientific approach to muscular pain relief that works to balance the musculoskeletal and nervous systems to enhance the function of joints muscles and biomechanics. It examines six physiological factors that can create or intensify pain patterns: ischemia, trigger points, nerve entrapment/compression, postural distortions, nutrition and emotional well-being. From there it offers a program of recovery utilizing specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching and home care to eliminate the cause of most neuromuscular pain patterns.

Process Acupressure (PA) is a body/mind/emotions/soul modality designed to help you discover and enhance your psycho-spiritual growth. It combines traditional accupressure with light touch techniques to open, strengthen and balance the body's energy systems- meridians and chakras.

SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma. Joint research efforts by Dr. John UI and biophysicist Dr. Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains (rather than dissipates) physical forces. This is often the result of an accident, injury, or emotional trauma. The dysfunctional area is isolated, creating what is called an “energy cyst”. Although a reasonably healthy body can adapt to “energy cysts,” extra energy is required to perform normal bodily functions. As time passes, the adaptive pattern of the body loses its effectiveness. Symptoms begin to appear and, over time, become more difficult to suppress. The SomatoEmotional Release process requires extreme sensitivity on the part of the therapist and a positive attitude and trust from the client/patient.

Trauma Release Therapy (TRT), developed by Karl Nishimura, D.D.S., M.S., is a process by which a lifetime of accumulated, suppressed traumas that have been shielded from conscious awareness are removed by autogenic means, the body’s natural healing capacity. Over time, the mind and body adjust, compromise and compensate for trauma to allow continued function up to a saturation point. An overload of the suppressive mechanisms can lead to pain and dysfunction. Trauma Release Therapy uses a fourteen Step Protocol to reactivate old traumas and remove individual injuries layer by layer until rejuvenation occurs.

Zero Balancing (ZB) is a simple, yet powerful hands-on method of balancing body energy with body structure. Taught internationally since 1973, Zero Balancing integrates a Western anatomical view of structure with Eastern concepts of energy into a Zero Balancing protocol. Zero Balancing Core Program Segments I and II focuses on the theory and application of the ZB protocol and techniques used to evaluate and balance energy in the body.
