What is the Advanced Practitioner Certification?

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.
