Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups

Ortho-BionomyThe Society of Ortho-Bionomy International sponsors monthly Online Study Groups. They are primarily in a conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors via Zoom.

Our Study Groups cover a variety of topics and also count towards the study group requirements in the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Programs.

The receipt received upon registration will have a link to download the handout, any preview materials and the Zoom link. Be sure you have these materials available before you login to the study group. 

There is a limit to class size, so be sure to register early.

After a group finishes, all attendees will be emailed an evaluation form for that session. To receive study group credit attendees will need to keep their cameras on during the study group and complete and submit the evaluation form within two weeks.

Recordings of select past study groups are also available in the SOBI Bookstore.

The study groups are a full three hours, with no credit given for homework time.

Out of respect for the Instructor and the other students please be on time for the study group.

 



Combining Ortho-Bionomy and EFT

 

with SOBI Registered Advanced Instructor Bettina Joy Beaucamp

October 16, 2025

6:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Central, 4:00 PM Mountain, 3:00 PM Pacific, 12:00 PM Hawaii (US and Canada)

Three hours--Online through Zoom

SOBI member $55; non-member $75

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is the perfect partner to Ortho-Bionomy! 

  • Both approaches empower the client, are gentle, and non-invasive. 
  • Both methods encourage clients to take an active role in their healing process, promoting self-awareness and personal growth. 
  • Just like Ortho-Bionomy, EFT honors and affirms what is so, before offering any suggestions for change. 
  • Both EFT and Ortho-Bionomy are super effective self-help tools. 
  • It only takes moments to balance a stressed-out nervous system, whether you need it for yourself or when a client comes in upset and is unable to settle down to receive hands-on work. 
  • EFT can gently release emotional issues that may have contributed to physical pain patterns without you needing to be a therapist. 
  • No matter what issue we use EFT for, the positive effects benefit both client and practitioner. 
  • Just like Phase 7, EFT can be done in person, on the phone, or via Zoom, which allows you to assist your clients while traveling or when they have moved away. 
  • Offering a combination of EFT and Ortho-Bionomy often leads to higher client satisfaction as they experience relief on multiple levels, encouraging repeat sessions and referrals. 

In this class you will learn: 

  • Why EFT is so effective. (EFT is backed by thousands of clinical studies, demonstrating its effectiveness for pain and stress relief, trauma and addiction recovery, weight loss, and support for general physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being)
  • The basic protocol for EFT as well as how to create scripts in EFT. 
  • How clients can use EFT as a self-care tool. (I will provide a basic script.)
  • How to use EFT before, during, or after an Ortho-Bionomy session. 

This study group will be highly experiential, and you will walk away with your own first-hand experience of how effective EFT is. The study group will include guided practice, as well as time for Q&A and a manual for you to print up for your use.
