Training
Castellino Training – first time in Australia
Every formative event, such as birth, creates a powerful, personal template for how we live our lives. These “imprints” hold energies and are stored in our energy and physical body – directing much of our lives through implicit somatic memory. Castellino Training is our original energetic template for health. When practitioners orient to the blueprint, in a field of harmonic resonance and co-regulation, the imprints can open their store of energy, creating profound opportunities for personal healing and growth.
Founder of Castellino Training®, Ray Castellino, dedicated his life to developing methods that re-pattern early imprints at the core somatic level, utilizing a safe environment of harmonic resonance.
Phase 1 Building a Foundation
The Foundation Training expands trainees Castellino Training® skill levels from attention with one practitioner and one client to include families and small groups. This is primarily an energetic/somatic process. Trainees learn to track themselves, individuals in families or groups and give attention to supporting the evolvement of secure relationships within the whole energetic field of the group. In this comprehensive process, trainees have full opportunity to develop the well spring of these skills from the inside out through self-discovery, through carefully designed exercises that facilitate personal growth, and through professional skills at the same time.
The Castellino Training® Foundation Training is designed for a wide range of professionals including Bodyworkers, Polarity Therapists, Craniosacral Therapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Acupuncturists, Nurses, Medical Doctors, Midwives, Doulas, Childbirth Educators, Infant Massage Therapists, Regular and Special Education Teachers, Counselors, and Psychologists. Many of our trainees were already doing some form of prenatal and birth work before studying the Catellino Training. Those who are new to this form of work are also welcome. Our students, practitioners, trainers, and facilitators all share a profound interest in working with babies, children, families, and/or adults seeking to resolve pre- and perinatal traumatic imprints.
