It is an honor to support your desire to carry this sacred work and to tend the bellies and spirits of all those who seek your care. 

Please join us for this 5.5 day training in the Kootenays of British Columbia to immerse yourself in the teachings of Don Elijio Panti and Dr. Rosita Arvigo as you become an advanced practitioner of Arvigo® Therapy.

Your time in the Kootenays is an invitation to step away from the everyday experience and to allow yourself time to breathe in the healing energy of the trees and nature, away from EMFs and cell towers. The setting is in the wilderness, with delightful, solar and water-powered cabins and meals that will leave you feeling that this is the home you’ve been searching for. Short hikes, wood-fired hot tubs, campfires and stargazing are all possible on a daily basis!

This 5.5-day training is designed for the practitioner who has completed the Arvigo® Professional Training: Level 2. Practitioners will be introduced to advanced Arvigo® bodywork techniques to support pelvic balance and health, including reproductive and digestive health. We will also be exploring the effects of trauma in the body and how to

support clients who are experiencing short and long term emotional effects.

Additionally, practitioners will be given the opportunity to discuss their best client outcome and their most challenging.

Completion of this class will offer the therapist the designation as an Advanced Arvigo® Practitioner on the website and for use in marketing. Prior to attending class, students must submit the required number of case studies.
