Reading the Body &
Clinical Skills Immersion
with Margi Flint
3-Day In-Person Herbal Learning Immersion
November 8, 9, 10, 2024 at Bethel Horizons Retreat Center
in Dodgeville, Wisconsin
What does it mean to be in good practice?
Learning solid clinical skills including healthy boundaries, taking the timeline, intake question ideas, and thoughts for being the best practitioner possible sets a solid foundation for your practice and builds client confidence.
We will explore the incredibly empowering practice of Drop-Pulse testing. Clients love this testing, for they are directly involved in the process. Your client joins their energies with the herbs to sense a response. It is a great way to narrow down the herbal choices and find the ones most suited to the individual. We will test tinctures, as well as dried and fresh herbs to sense responses.
