Courses & Workshops

Receiving this beautiful work online supports those who can't travel to awaken this medicine in their bones. If you later decide to continue to the Practitioner Training (Level 2), you’ll expand your knowledge to include posterior care and additional techniques.

Please note there are no discounts offered at Practitioner classes to Belly Work Providers due to the high costs of running in-person classes.  In that case, some content will be review, but the majority will be an expansion.

The course is held over four consecutive days, with each session lasting four hours. Schedule will be confirmed soon.

Completion of Self Care / Tending The Belly (Level 1) is required before joining this training. You can find several upcoming Tending The Belly course options on the calendar page: https://www.tulixindigenousarts.com/calender

The full cost of this course is €950. A €350 deposit secures your place and grants access to the Anatomy & Physiology Portal. The remaining balance is due three weeks before the course begins.

Please note: all payments are non-refundable. However, payments can be transferred to future courses if you are unable to attend.

The course includes a daily practice treatment with a client. A “client” can be anyone aged 16 or over. Clients may be at different life stages and of any gender or ability. We ask that your client is present for the third hour of each class day. On the fourth day, you’ll need a client for the second and fourth hours (as we will complete two treatments that day). Ideally, you’ll work with several different people, some with a uterus, to gain experience in identifying and supporting uterine positioning.

A massage table is ideal but not required. Alternatively you can use a mattress, thick blanket on the floor, or a wide sofa. Please note that this will affect your body mechanics. You’ll also need plenty of blankets and some massage oil or balm. A full equipment list will be provided once your deposit has been received.

The course takes place entirely via Zoom.

After completing the training, you’ll be able to offer Belly Care sessions to your community in alignment with the teachings of Tul’ix Indigenous Arts.

Attendance is required. If you happen to miss a small portion of the teaching, all instructional parts are recorded. Personal sharings are not recorded. Recordings include only the teacher and instructional content—students and clients will not appear on the recordings.

No license is required to participate. However, each practitioner is responsible for checking local requirements to ensure safe practice. At the beginning of the course, all participants will sign a Scope of Practice agreement outlining what is and isn’t within the boundaries of this work.

There is no fee for website listing. When you feel ready, you can request to be added to the Belly Care Provider list by emailing: office@arvigotherapy.com.

The Tending The Belly Portal is included with the Tending The Belly training and provides essential background information. The Anatomy & Physiology portal will be provided once your deposit is paid and must be completed before the course begins.

When the course starts, students will also receive access to the Belly Care Provider Portal to support ongoing learning.
