Includes the Life of Breath Course:




This is a great one day summary of spinal and cranial fluids and global circulation related to that.

Discusses vascular dynamics, polarity of water and blood, electrical dynamics of fluid flow, polarity / biofield considerations and issues of water  electron / cell membrane interface.

Discusses how csf circulates, looks at choroid function, vasomotion, spinal circulatory reflexes and venous dynamics to flow through the body. 

Great overview!

This course has extensive resources, inks, articles, online videos from various sources about water, fluids, and all things related.  It also has recordings of 2 full days of lectures by me, demonstrating practical approaches and explorations.  This fluids course discusses the CVS and global circulation, includes lymphatics, and focuses on limbs, limb / axial interfaces, the trunk / coelum / visceral spaces etc


The Life of Breath lecture series

20 hours of lectures, spread across lots of mini modules, all discussing aspects of respiration, breathlessness, rib dynamics, thoracic cage movements, the mediastinum, dual innervation of the diaphragm, the psoas-crurae divide, the abdomen, interoception, pelvic breathing and the pelvic floor, the upper mediastinum, gaseous exchange, ventilation, perfusion, sleep, apnoea, nasal cycle, upper airways, dynamics for voice, inspiration, breathing and the brain, cerebral ad CSF flow, and more.

What is breathlessness?  What can osteopaths do - what may we be able to offer people?

This lecture series covers a wide range of clinical relevant, evidence based, and clearly discussed pointers to enhance practice, whatever your level of 'respiratory' expertise

Inspired by the 'Life of Breath' project and over 30 years of osteopathic practice!
