like nerve regeneration and educational
kinesiology. I’m grateful for such a cutting
edge education into really how to help
others on a much deeper level than the
average practitioner. If it hadn’t been for
Clark Korb, Skip Kanester, Ed Maupin and
Shari Grayson, I don’t know where I would
be today! They have all been instrumental
in shaping the person that I have become
both personally and professionally and I’m
eternally grateful. Coming to IPSB has really
opened the ability to really help people and
change the world in a truly profound way.
Founder, HHP & FDN at PHMPreventative Holistic Medicine
Principal and FDN at At Home

Principal and Business Development
Coach at Iron Sharp Academy
It’s been an amazing journey that I never
expected but for which I feel incredibly
grateful. It seems like every day I will hear a
piece of research or a person talking about
a new development in the health world
and I am brought back to knowledge of the
mind-body connection that we learned at
IPSB. There are so many exciting things
that we are exposed to at IPSB that the
world is slowly starting to catch up with: A
lot of it having to do with how the way we
think affects our lives, the connection with
our minds and how our emotions manifest
in our bodies, and tons of other things
I currently own a Holistic Medical Clinic
called Preventative Holistic Medicine where
I practice TuiNa and Structural Integration.
I’m also a licensed Functional Medicine
Practitioner and Business Development
Coach. I’m able to help people with their
nutrition, get the tests they need to get
answers to their health concerns, as well
as helping them break through blocks in
their businesses. It’s a huge honor to be
able to work with people and help them
make a difference in their lives, their health
and their futures. I’m grateful to be
able to set my own schedule, work from
home when I want to and to be making a
difference. The most rewarding part of
my work is having developed relationships
with incredible people who have changed
my life and helped me just as much as I’ve
helped them. My advice for young grads is
to GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS. No one
is going to make your goals and dreams
happen for you. You need a detailed
plan and a healthy dose of consistency,
boldness and perseverance in order to be
successful. You need a “no-quit” attitude
and to learn what it means to hustle when
you’re starting and to consistently build
and grow your practice and your life goals.
Do WHATEVER it takes to stay motivated
to move forward. I’m so excited to share
some of the tips and skills that I’ve learned
over the years in the process of building,
scaling and selling businesses in my new
book. It’s called Amplified Ambition and it
will be out on Amazon near the end of June,
2015. I hope to be able to inspire folks to
take action on the lives they were designed
for and to create more income and more
impact. Thank you to all of the IPSB staff
and educators who have forged the path to
healthier and more fulfilled lives!

WELCOME Leighann Ramaekers
Leighann Ramaekers has joined the
IPSB team as our new Admissions Guide.
Leighann is originally from Austin, Texas,
although she grew up in Ohio. She
moved to the San Diego Area in 2008
and has enjoyed making this her home.
Leighann began her career as an Admissions Counselor at Ashford University.
Her hard work and successful student
relationships led to her advancement as
a Lead Counselor and University Ambassador. After several years, she decided
to leave the corporate environment,
trading in her pants suit for yoga pants.
Getting to know Leighann: "Outside of
work, I enjoy spending time in nature
with my daughter, Chloe, and fiancé.
We live around Lake Murray, so we often
spend time walking around there. My
favorite outdoor spot is Sunset Cliffs in
Ocean Beach, we take our dog, Cyder,
there often. We lived there for a few
years; but moved inland, still my heart
belongs to OB. We also go camping a
lot and enjoy looking at the stars. I make
natural stone jewelry with some of my
friends, and love any yoga, but Bikram. I
play the violin and clarinet. My favorite
color is blue... "
Leighann's true passion for helping
students succeed and dedication to
her own personal growth make her the
perfect fit for IPSB's community.

Course Description: This course is designed to provide
a framework for reflection, processing and assimilation
of personal changes that occur during body therapy
training. Within the context of the group, students learn
to examine and work with their own and other’s feelings,
motivations, patterns of behavior, resistance, and cultural
overlays. Using their own touch experiences they gain a
deeper understanding of themselves that contributes to
better integrity, awareness and boundaries as a practitioner. This insight is encouraged, explored and supported
through a unique combination of experiential exercises,
dialogue, discussion, sharing within the relational field,
active listening, creative writing, journaling, movement,
breathwork and meditation.

relational skills are introduced in CST I, as are concepts
of the nature of being and self. Within this context,
students learn to enter a neutral “being” state from
which to meet and relate to the client’s system, and
from which to establish a safe and empathetic listening
field. Skills of negotiation of contact and of palpation
are introduced. The enhancement of both practitioner
and client resources is also explored. Practical skills
around accessing felt-resources are explored in this
context. The importance and skill of maintaining a wide
perceptual field is introduced and the perception of
primary respiration and its various tidal manifestations
is also introduced. Within this context, a perceptual
awareness of the fluid tide is initially emphasized. The
role of stillness within the work is also introduced as
a fundamental concept, perception and skill within
Craniosacral Biodynamics.

Section 2: 6/20 - 6/28 | Sat/Sun | 9am - 5:30pm
Instructor: Diana Panara
Course Description: This is an experiential course designed to explore the dynamic relationship between
bodyworker and client in addition to expanding
understanding around the therapeutic process. It
introduces the student to Relational Somatics, which
holds that the relationship itself is a healing tool, and
with proper reflection can be used to help our clients
achieve their goals. The position of ‘healer/guide’ is
explored to enhance attention and hone perceptive
skills. The learning in this class requires an embodiment of concepts and a commitment to honoring the
relational field that enhances the intimacy, safety and
sacred space of the circle. Through focusing on opening the ring of the heart, we will work on issues including: setting and holding appropriate boundaries, dual
and multiple relationships, parallel processes, dealing
with emotions in the context of bodywork, the effects
of trauma and PTSD, and working with allied health
professionals. Hands-on work on the connective tissue
matrix (fascial stretching, deep tissue work, ‘shakeshake’), tracking/following sensation, and authentic
movement will support and enhance our discovery.
Students can expect a combination of the following:
lecture, demonstration, supervised partnered work,
group discussions, experiential exercises, meditation,
breath, movement, lecture, and time for check-in
and feedback. This course is the introduction to the
Relational Somatics Concentration.

Course Description: Foot reflexology can be very
effective in inducing deeper relaxation, helping relieve
minor aches and pains, helping cleanse the body of
toxins, helping patients think more clearly and offering
long term stress reduction. This introductory class
presents the foundation of holistic foot reflexology. It
focuses on various work and relaxation techniques and
promotes a better understanding of body systems and
their applications in any bodywork setting. The premise of the class is that the feet are the foundation and
symbol of how we walk along life's journey. Metaphysically speaking, the feet represent our understanding
of life. By adequately working on the feet, studens will
learn to help alleviate gravity and induce clarity so that
the client feels more grounded, centered and present.

Taught by Angela Kies, HHP
Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015 |
9:30am - 4:00pm
Active Stimulus Rebound Therapy (ASRT) is a
stimulating hands-on therapy that revives and
activates muscular function by stimulating the
nervous system. The ASRT modality best complements structural integration modalities and
somato-emotional work. In this workshop, we
will review required anatomy and physiology,
learn specific ASRT principles and techniques
for improving standing and sitting balance, and
practice applying these techniques appropriately.
Charlene Penner received her medical
degree from the University of Saskatchewan in
1976. Since then, she has studied and practiced
many forms of energetic movement and handson body therapy, including pyschophysical
integration, which she studied under Dr. Milton
Trager in the 1980s. In the two decades since
Trager's passing, she has respectfully named her
work in the area Active Stimulus Rebound Therapy (ASRT). She brings years of exploring “health
as a total living concept” to IPSB as an instructor
of Anatomy and Physiology & Pathology.
Cost: $89 per person

Course Description:
Many massage therapists would like to include
effective stretches in their client sessions but
feel they don’t have the training or expertise
to perform the stretches correctly. Facilitated
Stretching is a safe, simple, yet dramatically
effective stretching technique that can be
used with a wide variety of clients to regain
or improve flexibility. It’s easy to learn and
to incorporate into your current massage
practice.
Facilitated stretching is based on the principles
of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation) and consists of three simple steps:
stretch the muscle, contract it isometrically
against resistance, then stretch it again. These
steps apply whether you’re isolating one
muscle at a time, or using the spiral diagonal
patterns of PNF to stretch groups of muscles
simultaneously.
Facilitated stretching, combined with soft
tissue work, will enable the practitioner
to obtain greater overall success in client
treatment sessions. Additionally, a program of
self-stretching using these techniques can be
invaluable for clients in their home stretching
programs.
Participants, please dress for stretching and
exercise (no blue jeans, no skirts)

Did you know that since 2006, IPSB graduates have consistently achieved higher scores than the California
and National averages the exams offered by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and
Bodywork (NCBTMB)? It's true! The last results (July thru December 2014) show IPSB's impressive pass rate
at 100% while the state and national pass rates were less than 75% and 76% respectively.
Congratulations to our graduates and faculty for jointly creating such an extraordinary record.
