HELLERWORK STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION TRAINING An Introduction About Hellerwork Hellerwork is an evolving system of structural bodywork that integrates movement education, energetics, and dialogue. Hellerwork is a philosophy and a way of being based on the inseparability of body, mind, and spirit. It teaches a psychology based on presence, the psychology of selves, and the importance of developing self-awareness and responsibility. The emphasis is on guiding people back to their natural balance, alignment, and aliveness. Hellerwork Practitioners Professionally trained practitioners experience a sense of contribution to their clients' lives. They can enjoy the benefits of professional freedom and autonomy. A career as a Hellerwork practitioner provides the foundation for expanding into many areas of alternative health care. With the growing recognition of Hellerwork by the public and other health professionals, the opportunities and possibilities of application and expansion are limitless. The Whole Picture The Northwest Hellerwork Training is divided into three terms. Each term consists of a 16-day intensive followed by an independent and mentor led study period, and ends in a 6 month practicum. The training takes approximately eighteen months to complete. Upon graduation each student will be a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner. The Intensives Intensives are total immersion processes oriented towards developing skills and deepening personal process. Information, concepts, techniques, and skills are presented in a variety of ways and whole body learning is emphasized. Topics include principles of structural integration, anatomy, the art of seeing the body, somatic counseling, movement education skills, and movement awareness. In addition, students observe three series of eleven Hellerwork sessions from a variety of teachers, receive and give two series of eleven sessions from partners under direct supervision.
Students are required to complete and document 120 session hours after graduation and prior to final certification by Hellerwork International, LLC. Personal Mentoring The student will submit to and go over his/her homework with the mentor, be able to ask questions and see and do the series with the support of the mentor. The Independent Study Independent study allows time for the study, practice, reflection and integration of course material. During portions of the independent study, students are under one-to-one guidance of a mentor for added depth of learning. (Approximately 220 hours of independent study are required). |
During the Mentor Phase each student will see the Hellerwork series and work with the Mentor on models. During this time the student also gives the Hellerwork series to a model under direct supervision. This enables each student to gradually develop their skills, their confidence and proficiency. If required, a further series will be done under direct supervision during personal tutoring.
