Join us in exploring mind/body tools that amplify your body’s internal guidance on improving health and wellbeing.

Beginning with online self-study videos and handouts, try a range of body-listening techniques (including a number of ‘muscle-testing’ versions) at home so you can quickly find an approach that works for you.  We focus on how our bodies react to known ideas, then hold food samples to experience how body feedback varies in response to other foods/ideas.  Then schedule your individual Zoom check-in and coaching session so we confirm that muscle testing is working for you before joining with the larger group to compare notes and expand our skills with self-assessment and alignment tools.

In our group sessions we begin to apply our body-listening skills to a real life issue you would like to shift.  We’ll learn one alignment approach used to release disabling emotions and another used to instill enabling (subconscious) beliefs.

This introductory course supports participants in developing an interactive relationship with their own internal guidance.  With this foundation participants can

•  recognize thoughts, activities or even foods that our bodies may be suggesting for reconsideration
•  identify blocks or sabotaging dynamics interfering with progress towards goals
•  clarify what our body senses we need to move forward 

As one aligns reflexes with goals, all sorts of physical and emotional dynamics shift in positive directions.  With these approaches clients have obtained ideal weight, released physical pain, relieved chronic symptoms and conditions, reduced sensitivities and improved their lives and relationships.

This workshop is appropriate for individuals learning to address health and life challenges as well as therapists and practitioners expanding their complementary approaches.

Nina McCormack is the instructor.  She works across a number of mind-body modalities that all involve aligning one’s body’s auto-responses to further life and health goals.  For additional information about Nina & modalities she works in, please visit About and Why this approach.

“Now I am hopeful.  I think you are a great caring teacher and that you are doing a great job.”

“The structure is well conceived and executed… even though I was too busy to practice … as I wanted 🙃”                             

“Thank you Nina for explaining this incredible toolset and your very patient instruction. This whole experience reminds me of a favourite quote –  ‘Give someone a fish and they eat for a day. Teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime’” 

“What a power toolset you have taught… enabling us to take better care of ourselves and our lives…Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!”  

“I was overcome by emotion Friday, and instead of going headlong into it and potentially messing up our evening, I took out the worksheets. Within 20 minutes I was able to identify the feeling, that it wasn’t mine, and how to clear it.  I felt a bit slow… but I did it, trusted my intuition and the emotion lifted as quickly as it came…massive result!!!”

“As it took me some time to step in, the group practices have been of a great help for me.  Moreover sharing such times with thoughtful and benevolent people as you all are brings a lot to me.”                                                     

“Love how accessible this is and how it empowers you to trust yourself.  I feel like I have a stronger sense of how my body communicates.”

“This provides a good overview to body-listening techniques – AND a good foundation for applying these tools in our daily lives.”

“Wonderfully engaging presentation – warm, smart, interactive, with clearly expressed concepts.”

“I love the format.  This is inspired!”

“Great to leave with immediately useful information I can apply.”

“Very interesting to tune into my own body’s reactions that I never noticed before.”

“So useful in my own life!”

“Fascinating experience!  I’m very eager to ‘mine’ my disabling habits and replace them with enabling ones.”

“There are many paths to address issues and concerns in our lives and these techniques offer a solid, well-defined option.”

“So clear – and love the handouts you gave us.”

“Loved it!  And so useful!”

“This frees me from a lot of confused self-talk.”

“Great accommodation of different learning styles.”

This workshop begins with self-paced video modules and handouts in which participants learn and begin to apply body listening skills in their own homes, followed by an individual zoom check-in/coaching session with Nina.  Next are three live, Zoom group workshop sessions for 1.5 hrs each learning self-alignment skills and putting it all together for your own use.  We will make a recording of each session available for those who can’t join us live.

After participants have had time to work on their own, we’ll hold two live follow-up practice sessions (included).  These highly interactive sessions run up to an hour and a half (optionally longer), depending on number of questions.  Specific live Zoom session topics and dates are:

Body Listening is… live on Zoom 

Shifting Alignment How To’s (& working with emotions) 

Shifting (subconscious) Beliefs & Putting It All Together 

Group Practice #1 – Self-Assessment & Alignment 

Group Practice #2 – Self-Assessment & Alignment
