This 3 day course will address research based holistic approaches for the practitioner wishing to broaden their approach to wellness and pain management in their practice. Participants will learn manual techniques that broaden the intuitive and receptive use of their hands. Learning new strategies to preserve their own energy, wellness and passion while practicing appropriate self- care and boundaries will lead to helpful relationships with complex patients.
This course will decipher what is anecdotal and what the research supports. This course will focus on: mind-body medicine, meditation, neural down regulation, increasing patient’s perceived locus of control, essential oils, yoga, external manual techniques to support and regulate the nervous system, pain theory, cognitive reframing and how to talk to patients about pain, provider boundaries and self- care. Providers will learn techniques to address the whole patient: mind, body, and spirit.
Instruction will include decision making strategies to decide which intervention is most likely to be received well with different types of patients. The course will be a balance of lecture and labs. Lab activities will include meditation and mindfulness activities, dialogue practice, manual techniques and practice instructing and integrating techniques effectively within a treatment session, in a timely manner.
Please begin the pre-course reading and home program of meditation exercises at least one month prior to the course, as listed in the course assignments attached. Participants who do the reading in advance and take time to begin the meditation work two months prior the course experience a deeper, richer, transformative experience prior to and during the weekend experience.
Audience:
This continuing education seminar is targeted to physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapist assistants, registered nurses, nurse midwives, and other rehabilitation professionals. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Physical therapy continuing education courses should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.
Assignments:
Please begin your meditation practice. You will need to download the CD, “Meditations for Pelvic Health” from google play or itunes. You can also search “Nari Clemons”. The CD is also available at Amazon, Current Tech, or Current Medical Technologies. The downloaded form makes it easier to catch your 10 minute daily meditation during lunch at work, or wherever you have your phone. Using earbuds will enhance the experience, as the music has binary beats that balance the two sides of the brain. Please find the self practice logs at this link. We would like you to use tracks 1-7 each three times before the course. This way, at the course, we can dive deeper and work more on application into your practice, as you will have familiarity with each technique and how it affects you. Please start sooner than later, trying to get a sitting in each day.
Please order Self Care for the Self Aware by David Markowitz. It is around $9 from online retailers. Please read pages 3- 40. We will use this pre-reading as a jumping point for conversations and discussions. As you read, please take a few notes on whose stuff you are owning and what comes up when you think of giving it back to them. Again, please enjoy the experience and read slowly enough to process the information and let it work through you, rather than doing it all the night before. Let the transformation process begin now!
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Day One: |

This course couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time because I was in a major burn out. I was becoming an unhappy person not only my professional life but personal life and know I needed to make a change. Now I’m learning this course more empowered to care for myself better so I can help my patients in a healthy way and enjoy my job again! I am walking away from this course with so many valuable strategies and also feel so much more relaxed and hopeful!
- Carrie Schofield, PT, DPT, PRPC - Scottsdale, AZ
This was the perfect course for me as I am at my burn-out phase at home and at work. I appreciate the self-care tools (meditation, cognitive reframing etc.) that I can immediately apply for myself because “I am worth it”.
- Arlene Silveyra, PT - Orange, CA
Fantastic Course. Very valuable for any practitioner to prevent bum out and learn strategies to exemplify self-core and self-worth.
- Taflyn Wilschinsky, PT, DPT - Santa Cruz, CA
The discussion stemming from our higher power homework was amazing and so thought provoking. I felt this was a very beneficial part of the course. This course is one I think any empathic or burned out therapist / healthcare professional / really anyone can benefit greatly from. These are tools we all need but so rarely taught using these tools will help me maintain work – life boundaries and my energy so that I have longevity as a PT.
- Mary Panushka, PT, DPT - Santa Rosa, CA
Thank you for realizing the need for this course having the manual and your concrete examples are exactly what I needed to make the changes my body told me I needed.
- Diana O'Brien,PT, MPT - Wilson, WY
Jen and Nari created this beautiful course to empower us to lead long – lasting, fulfilling careers and lives by teaching us not only how to care for our patients, but also ourselves!
- Justine Payne, PT, DPT, RYT - Miami, FL
Jen and Nari are the nicest people ever! This course was much appreciated and had a plenty of evidence-based information to substantiate patient care approaches. The instructors demonstrate authenticity get the evidence and hope of change (due to applying the principles taught in the class) Highly recommended this class! Thank you!
- Karen Vande Vegte PT, PRPC - San Diego, CA
Thank you, Thank you, thank you for teaching this course. This has changed the way I think about my life and my practice. I already have less anxiety about work this week. I am so appreciative of all the things I have learned.
- Vanessa Tipon Figuero, DPT - San Diego, CA
A fantastic course to gain personal introspection, create boundaries, and gain tools to help your patients help themselves. All while learning to help yourself too!
-Devin DeGreif, DPT, CSCS - Eugene, OR
It was a weekend filled with empowerment, positive affirmations, instantly applicable strategies! Excellent!
-Megan Horeis PT, DPT, WCS - Peckville, PA
This course was different from any I have ever taken. Not only did I learn clinical skills - but I learned it is so worth it to take care of me. Let the self work begin.
-Kara Infante, PT, DPT, CLT-UE - Norfolk, VA
Thank you for opening my eyes to a healtheir way of living my life first & working secondly. Thank you for what I think will change the trajectory of my career!
