Becoming a Block Therapy instructor has vastly up graded so many areas of my life. Firstly, I feel so much better in my own body, from a daily BT practice, that I have more energy and enthusiasm for others. Being an instructor has given me a new and enjoyable way to engage with my community. It is very clear that Block Therapy offers a way to participate in a profound and far reaching level of self care. It is a joy to help people explore and engage with their own body and sensations for great benefit. It's been a privilege to be able to learn these skills even though I live so far away. Thank You

Additional Benefits
Block Therapy Academy Testimonials
I love what I do, I am always inspired to design my classes for the upcoming week. I wake up looking forward to what I'm doing that day. It's also great to just get to do something healthy for your body and mind every day and call it "your work"!
I have learned so much since joining BTA but the thing that impacted me the most and continues to is the community and support of Deanna, Quinn and the incredible group of other instructors and therapists, and practitioners. There is just no other practice or certification where you have a constant source to mentor from, to keep learning without judgement. It's hard to do something completely new you don't know anything about. I can't see how I would have done this without all the support.
Joining BTA may challenge you to do something out of your comfort zone, but that will be the greatest gift to yourself! You get to learn about your own body, practice your mind-body connection and learn how to teach others.
