Trager® CPR! Creativity Produces Results!!!
Who is this for?
Any Trager practitioner/student that wants to grow their practice, enjoy greater self-confidence as a private practitioner and boost Trager’s impact in the world!
What is it?
A 3-week online coaching and support group to support your Trager Practice, and encourage confidence in leading Mentastics® to individuals and groups and introducing the Trager Approach to the larger community. The focus will be on developing a creative mind: setting goals and intentions, being able to improvise as needed. The second week is focused on finding product that works for you: a class, a session, a new status for yourself; and finally, week 3 we will celebrate your results. Progress in ongoing, but by week 3 you will have a solid plan that is realistic. Together we will complete the steps you create to build your practice and community. We will start wherever you are. If you want to simply listen and learn from others, and are not ready to step out, that is ok also, you are welcome!
Who will facilitate this class?
Judy Fasone, Columbus, OH, has been intimately involved with the Trager community for 23 years as Practitioner, Class Organizer, Introductory Workshop Leader, Tutor, and Mentastics Instructor and Sr. Practitioner. Between 2000-2007, she served as GLTA Rep, USTA president and representative to Trager International, Tutor and Educational committees. Judy notes that in the past 15 years, the membership numbers have dropped, and our organization has shrunk to 250 practitioners and 60 students (at the time of this writing). Trager CPR will revive your own practice, but it is critical if we are to be a viable organization that we have community-based workshops that educate the public on this approach for healing. In addition, Judy is a certified Nurse Coach, and helps her clients and students set goals and find success as they work through the barriers that block forward movement Judy senses the sacredness of ordinary life as a profound feeling of well-being. A musician and songwriter, Judy brings this creative spark into her workshops and classes and inspires others to free their spirits through movement and self-care.
