Here are some testimonials from our students…
“Thank-you fore re-igniting Polarity for me.”
“The seminar was terrific from its layout and organization to the extensive research, history, and practical experience embedded in the content. Brian Jansen is a gentle, empowering genius. ”
“This course exceeded anything I could have imagined. Where to begin to describe what was good about the teaching? Everything: clear, kind, masterful, fluid, fun, smart, integrating so many excellent threads —languaging, trauma resolution, play, art, wisdom. It provided strong, kind ways to stay present with the client. It redefined the concept of the container for me and up-leveled client/ practitioner relational dynamics. I’m blown away! ”
“I feel more deeply connected to Polarity as a process of engagement — more aliveness, playfulness, intensity, presence, and connection than I knew was possible for me in this work. As a result I feel more of myself — more access to my ability not only to feel energy internally but also the ability to let it flow out into my life and work. I am so excited to bring this awareness to my practice. I feel so much gratitude, a warm buzzing softness in my heart and belly. Thank-you, Brian, for giving so much of yourself this weekend. Your solid presence, sincerity, humor, and deep wisdom allowed me to let so much more of myself into the room. I can’t wait to learn more! I feel like this weekend has deepened my appreciation for this healing art and its legacy. Thank-you!”
“A+++! You offered the connective tissue to my Polarity studies - connecting my prior experience to Dr. Stone, the history and lineage of Polarity Therapy, and the work of the early practitioners. I love the way you integrate so many aspects of Polarity so effortlessly into an easeful, fun weekend providing lots of awareness for growth and learning, at the same time creating an atmosphere that feels like we are all just hanging out and exploring. You MAJORLY improved my grasp on how to really look for and trace the energy physically in the body. My understanding of Polarity is now much more concrete. Bravo!”
“You are a gifted healer & your presence and teaching style felt safe and uplifting. It was a pleasure to share the space with you. This class was refreshing for me — it provided different techniques from my previous Polarity studies and allowed me to learn specifically about Dr. Stone which seems to be left out of most workshops. Your relational style and info about resourcing to safety will stay with me. I hope to study with you more. ”
“This workshop helped me understand what Polarity Therapy is and how I can better explain what it is to others. The workshop was SO helpful. It gave a new way to approach session work from an intuitive place, but also with a feeling of more guidance gathered from and connecting with the felt sense of the client’s body. It gave me more comfort with not having to know or guess what to do in advance, or what protocol to execute, but instead responding moment by moment to what is arising in the client’s process. I also loved getting a better sense of Polarity history and the people who have been integral in shaping the practice. I learned so much about myself through the workshop and really appreciate it. Thank-you!”
“I love that you focused on how to work with the Autonomic Nervous System via a Polarity Perspective. This weekend brought a LOT together for me. Thank-you! I appreciated you sharing of your passion for Polarity. Polarity can be a huge aid to the trauma community and it’s a modality well-suited to the trauma bodyworkers out there. ”
