Ortho-Bionomy A subtle, gentle, non-invasive healing modality that works by engaging in a conversation with the body’s own proprioceptive reflex systems. Ortho-Bionomy is descended from the Osteopathic tradition, and as such, is very scientifically rigorous. To become an Ortho-Bionomy practitioner, one must undertake a long course of study, including weekend intensives, study groups, week-long residential sessions, and completion of a college-level Anatomy and Physiology course. I have been studying since 2010 (see training page), and expect to become a practitioner member in 2025.
Ortho-Bionomy is also almost unique among healing modalities in that it is not protocol-driven, and effects enormous changes within the nervous, skeletal, muscular, lymphatic and circulatory systems without force, and with minimal to no discomfort*. In the world of Ortho-Bionomy, less is more, so if you are looking for painful deep tissue work, this is not the modality for you. However, if you are looking for a gentle, effective healing modality that works with the body, rather than trying to impose its own sense of order on the body, Ortho-Bionomy may be a completely revelatory experience for you!*
Ortho-Bionomy, or 'OB', as we call it, uses an almost homeopathic philosophy of 'like cures like', in that we exaggerate body patterns so that the body may perceive its patterned behavior, and then we aid the body in going about altering or transforming those patterns towards health. It is non-procedural, in that it does not follow a set of 'moves' and 'rules' that are imposed upon the body. Rather, it is an intimate conversation with the body. We 'converse' with the body's structures - bones, muscles, ligaments, lymph, circulatory, organs, and especially the nervous system, to understand the accommodations the body has made to survive or overcome injury and trauma, and mirror back to the body what we see by exaggerating the patterns we perceive so that the body may take action as it sees fit, actions we support through both active and passive, physical, and energetic movement, compression, and traction.
Ortho-Bionomy is almost the direct opposite in philosophy from something like chiropractic. In chiropractic work, a physical or energetic move will be used to force, for example, a vertebrae, back into proper alignment. In Ortho-Bionomy, we will physically or energetically exaggerate the twist in a vertebrae so that the body's proprioceptive nervous system can perceive the twist, and then we help the body's own muscles move it back into alignment.
The work is gentle, effective, and, frankly, still seems like magic to me after over 10 years of practice. My definition of Ortho-Bionomy, which differs from how others often describe it: "Physical and energetic modeling to the body of its own accommodations, misalignments and constrictions so that it may self-correct.*
"Would you show water how to run down a hill? It knows how, it only has to be set free. The body of man is the same; it knows; so who are we in our practiced intellect to teach it? It is better it teaches us and we observe the events that follow on." - Arthur Lincoln Pauls, Founder of Ortho-Bionomy
AuraLuminance Energetic manipulation of the auric field to untangle 'Chi Knots' in order to transform and release psychic and physical trauma, and foster healthy energy flow, creativity and groundedness. This can also entail and include: Removal of external energies and entities. Cutting of cords. Retrieval and return of soul fragments. Removal of energetic 'shards' and other structures. Training in how to become more 'entity-resistant'. Deciphering and helping to break contracts and unconscious limiting beliefs. Direct access to and release of traumas held within the auric field, as well as those held within tissues and structures of the physical body.*
Shamanic Psychology "Soul Listening" - the receipt of channeled information from the client's own soul, as well as from other sources. Channeled guided journeys to release trauma and foster self-empathy. *
Together, these modalities address internal and external, physical, emotional and karmic issues - from skeletal and structural problems, to internal organs, disease patterning, past life experiences, and psychology.
Used in concert, they can have huge synergistic effects wherein the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts. Together, they can: Ameliorate or totally heal chronic pain conditions such as back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain. Encourage healing of ligament and tendon issues, including Plantar Fasciitis and other foot problems, and Carpal Tunnel and other hand problems. Help mitigate circulatory and neurological conditions. Help engender lasting trauma resolution - including physical and emotional traumas, stemming all the way from pre-natal experiences to present age. And much more.*
