Somatic Practitioner workshop KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Midwest Institute of Bodywork and Somatic Therapy, 5518 N. Antioch Road in Kansas City, is offering a three-part, nine-hour introductory workshop for those interested in exploring a career as a Certified Body Somatic Practitioner. The workshop is August 2 and 4 from 6-9 p.m., and August 6 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost is $100. Body somatics is a method of healing the body and maximizing well-being, developed about 18 years ago by Carmelita Davis-Beets. Davis-Beets, with certifications in acupuncture, Reiki, electromagnetic field balancing, neuro-muscular therapy, hypnosis, cranial sacral therapy, yoga, weight training and Hellerwork, found that no healing method existed that addressed equally the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of our lives through the medium of the body. Body somatics, through deep tissue manipulation, works directly with the cause of structural body problems through the systematic release of congested, constricted muscle and fascia tissue. According to Davis-Beets, students attending the Midwest Institute have a deep interest in helping others experience healing and meet their potential in life. "Certified Body Somatic Practitioners learn to restructure and realign bodies to bring about healing and wholeness," says Davis-Beets. "Body somatics clears the body, removes pain, and restores natural movement and balance, as well as energy flow. Students studying body somatics learn how the body works, and how various parts of our bodies house different emotions. We go way beyond what massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and psychotherapy can each do individually for a person. The healing power of body somatics is truly amazing." The school is certified by the Missouri Department of Higher Education. Students must complete 608 hours of class time and 500 hours of hands-on body therapy to order to graduate. Students are of all ages and backgrounds – and many seek out the Certified Body Somatic Practitioner program in mid-life stages, searching for more meaning in life.
