Gentling Way Practitioner Training

Heather’s Gentling Way is sacred work. It is a calling. It is not for everyone.

All practitioner classes are facilitated by Heather, sometimes with the help of one or two training assistants. We all develop skills to assist transform lives at every level of beingness. Dates for upcoming training courses can be found here.

To get to a practical training there is considerable online study and practice on self and friends first.

All courses are in three parts. The online component covers entry to all Gentling Way practical trainings. This allows us able to enjoy our time together of giving and receiving. Our first recipient of care is always ourselves. We embody the work. We are called first to repair/ transform/ accept changes and to shift sufficiently to heal our own stories and life residue.

Course size are always small, to enable intimate connections with others, so you get the practical support you need. The body remembers everything that has ever happened to it. It is highly likely that you may have breakthroughs as we clear the clutter we all seem to stored for later. (That would be now).

There will be some pre-course online work to prepare you for the week of practical training, and some post-course work to finish with. Your practical skills will be assessed at the end of the week. In all it will be at least 150 hours of study and practical experience.

A progression through the orderly stages awaits you. Each step building on the last. I ask all to begin with self.

Are there any post-course requirements?

Keeness, can’t NOT do it . . .

The week of practical training will gift you in techniques to work on any body. To become a full Gentling Way Practitioner you will need to complete the training: and continue with the online tutorials for the next month to iron out any queries. In this time, you submit at least 2 case histories and your comments each week. This intensity will allow you to flow into embodying the work, reconnecting to your passion.

On successful completion you will be awarded a certificate of completion stating that you are accepted as a Gentling Way Practitioner and can choose to be included on the Gentling Way Practitioner listing on the website. Ideally you will return as it is such a different course each time. This is not about the moves – but the complete transformation all experience as we gently peel back the layers exposing your blueprint again.


Please note: Although I trained with Dr Rosita Arvigo in 2014 and Dr Jennifer Mercier in 2015, I am NOT teaching their work, but my interpretation of Qi and body work gained through the last 45 years of working with people’s STUCK to undo what is blocking their healing in whatever way seems appropriate. As such, this work is holistically multi modality, multi lineage and transformational. Expect to come out the other side as a new person – with a skill set that is subtle, profound and inspiring.
