When beginning study of BBTRS®, you may begin either in-person or online, whichever suits you best. However, we highly recommend starting with the Online Certification course to learn the foundations of the 6 element system and approaches to working with trauma in an informed and safe manner.

This course is a great option for experienced practitioners modalities and complete newcomers alike, particularly if you are inexperience in working with trauma in this way. Upon completion, you will be certified to start working with real paying clients online, and should you choose to continue to an in-person Training Retreat, you will enjoy a more embodied experience having already established a core understanding of the basic principles of BBTRS®.

Each unit of training for the Advanced Pathway is priced individually, starting from around $1,850 USD (currency may vary by region), making it fully flexible for you to manage your finances while studying at a pace that suits you. 

You are only committed to studying the unit you for which you are currently enrolled. Most students aim to complete the full advanced certification in 18-24 months, however, if your budget means you require more time between units, then this is absolutely possible.

The Advanced Practitioner Certification is a more comprehensive certification pathway designed for practitioners wanting deeper embodied training and an in-person facilitation experience.

To complete the Advanced Practitioner Certification pathway, participants are required to complete the BBTRS® Online Practitioner Certification and three separate BBTRS® Training Retreats.

Participants may begin with either the Online Practitioner Certification or an In-Person Training Retreat. However, we recommended that you begin with the Online Practitioner Certification, so that you can more deeply embody and experience the work in the Training Retreats. However, you may start your journey with an in-person retreat if this is better suited to your requirements.

Most participants complete the Advanced Practitioner Certification pathway within approximately 18 months to 2 years, depending on retreat attendance, personal pace, and certification completion requirements.

BBTRS® currently offers two certification pathways:

• Online Practitioner Certification
• Advanced Practitioner Certification

The BBTRS® Online Practitioner Certification is a structured online professional training that combines:

• Live online classes
• Experiential learning
• Supervised practice
• Mentoring
• Self-bodywork
• Personal integration

Upon successful completion of the Online Practitioner Certification requirements, participants are certified to facilitate BBTRS® online sessions using the BBTRS® Six Element approach to trauma release.

Most participants complete the certification requirements within 3 to 6 months of the training beginning, depending on their pace and the timing of certification submissions.

Yes—the online certification must be completed by anyone aiming to achieve the Advanced Professional Practitioner Certification (for those on the practitioner track). Participants seeking an experience focused on their own personal development are also welcome and will find great benefit from attending.
