Notes
“Back in 2016, during my studies at Victoria University, Daniela, our lecturer, introduced mindfulness as an essential aspect of clinical care. Studying with her again, I can see how much her research and expertise in the field of mindfulness has grown. This course is filled with the kind of knowledge every soft tissue therapist needs: current, clinically relevant, and backed by broad, credible research. It's so much more than just one course.”
Michelle, Remedial Massage Therapist
“What a great course. Who would've thought meditation and mindfulness could be so relevant to clinical practice? It's opened my eyes to how powerful the practice and benefits are of both patient care and therapist well being.”
Patrick, Myotherapist
“Working in the soft tissue industry I've always been interested in the mind-body connection, and this course gave me a clear path forward. I was introduced to leading experts in the field and shown where to look for credible, evidence-based mindfulness programs. It's not just theory, it's a well researched and highly practical guide for therapists. What a gem!”
Lawrence, Remedial massage therapist
No prior experience is needed. This course starts from the basics and builds your understanding of mindfulness step by step.
Yes. This course focuses on applying mindfulness in manual therapy practice, not meditation technique, useful even for experienced meditators.
This course provides a certificate of completion for CPD points, not a teaching qualification. If you'd like to teach meditation or become a certified instructor, we recommend further specialised study.
