New BodyTalk Practitioner for Animals Certification Program

Dec 23, 2016

By Loesje Jacob, Sr CBIA/CBI

After much thought, discussions, brainstorming and a lot of listening to the animal kingdom, we are excited to announce the new BodyTalk Practitioner for Animals Certification program (CBPA).

This is a separate pathway now offered by the IBA for those people who choose to focus on BodyTalk for animals either for their personal growth and learning and, or, as a career choice. In fact, there are four new IBA courses that all facilitate this journey of working with animals, while simultaneously enhancing the ability to work more deeply with humans:

BodyTalk Fundamentals for Animals and Humans
Linking Awareness ~ Intercellular Communication ~ A Healing Journey©
BodyTalk Fundamentals Integration for Animals and Humans
BodyTalk for Animals Advanced Integration

Keep reading to see the full requirements on how to become a CBPA or Adv CBPA. And don't forget the option to take the two-day course, BodyTalk Access For Animals and Humans.

We are excited to see how many of you will take advantage of this exciting new certification opportunity.
