The wait is over: the EFTR® Practitioner Certification is officially open for registration, and we're excited to finally share the full structure, dates and details with you.
EFTR®’s NEW REVISED STRUCTURE
Equine Fascia & Trauma Release is a progressive practitioner training programme developed by Liza Kimble, bringing together fascia, anatomy, the autonomic nervous system, trauma-informed awareness and practical fascial work with horses. It is one complete four-level pathway, comprising eight modules, online theory, compulsory in-person practicals, 100 case-study sessions, Equine Anatomy & Physiology and a Final Practitioner Assessment.
THE FOUR LEVELS
Level 1, Foundation (Modules 1 to 2): fascia fundamentals, tensegrity and trauma-informed observation.
Level 2, Development & Connection (Modules 3 to 4): the nervous system, trauma, and fascia as a sensory system.
Level 3, Application & Growth (Modules 5 to 6): regulation, whole-body connection, and the start of the advanced practical phase with Liza personally.
Level 4, Integration (Modules 7 to 8): advanced whole-body work, the Reconnective Technique and the EFTR® Closing Ceremony.
Modules 1 to 5 are taught by Liza live online, with practical training delivered by our Regional EFTR® Trainers. Modules 6 to 8 are completed personally with Liza during her annual advanced intensive in your training region.
A FULLY INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY
The Academy now delivers regional practical training across South Africa, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany. You can meet Liza and the full teaching team, including our Regional Trainers, here: https://lizakimble.com/meet-the-team/
EQUINE ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
We've partnered with Ivana Ruddock-Lange of Equine Anatomy in Layers to bring her Equine A&P course to all EFTR® students on the pathway at a discounted rate, issued via an Academy discount code at the start of Level 2.
Active Equine Fascia Somatics Community members of 3+ consecutive months receive 15% off Levels 3 and 4 when purchased individually. Previous EFTR® training is reviewed individually. If this applies to you, the registration form includes a short questionnaire.
