Upon completion of the entire curriculum which consists of six modules, participants have acquired the knowledge and experience to become certified practitioners of VMI Somatic Practice.
- VMI Somatic Practice Certification Program is delighted to announce we are professionally accredited by the KTNO as a full HBO college level training as natural health practitioner licensed by the BATC for health insurance coverage.
- We continue to be accredited by ISMETA – International Somatic Movement Education & Therapy Association as registered somatic movement therapist/educators. The program has been audited & approved by the CRKBO as a European professional educational program & continues to be BTW free.
AIMS: The program offers an intensive training integrating dance, movement, active breath, voice, improvisation, touch, physical repatterning and hands-on practice to become skilled practitioners in the fields of bodywork, somatic movement therapy/education & creative practice with voice & movement.
The training incorporates innovative work combining:
- Vocal Dance – a somatic creative practice that frees the voice to be fully alive and reflected in one's expressive vitality and movement.
- Voice Movement Integration (VMI) Somatic Practice – an integrative somatic practice actively combining voice and movement with the deepening process of bodywork to stimulate and organize the body’s physical-perceptual-emotional awareness.
- Vital Movement Integration (VMI) Bodywork – a gentle, precise hands-on integrative approach to health and healing that guides the internal organs and glands in regaining normal tone and mobility as they influence & support the vital balance of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. This work facilitates more balanced breathing, improves postural integration. It connects body, mind, and emotions bringing a renewed sense of equilibrium and well-being through the entire body.
