Our next free webinar is A New Tool for Your Practice: Helping Clients Move Past Emotional Blocks Without Talking About It with The Manse Retreat

Course cover

Event details

Agenda

Emotional stress is one of the most common barriers to client progress, especially when symptoms persist despite good nutrition, lifestyle change, and supportive coaching. Many clients carry emotional patterns that influence their choices, motivation, and sense of safety, often without realising it.

In this webinar, Kim introduces The Manse Method®, a gentle psycho-sensory technique designed to help people shift emotional blocks without needing to talk about past experiences.

You’ll learn how emotional patterns can form, why they can be difficult for clients to move through on their own, and how a sensory-based approach may offer a practical complement to the work practitioners already do.

Kim will also demonstrate the method so attendees can see how it works in real time and understand how it fits alongside nutritional therapy, coaching, and other client-centred practices.

Key Learning Objectives

By the end of this presentation, attendees will:

  • Understand how emotional memories are encoded in the brain and why they can drive physical symptoms, chronic stress, and client resistance
  • Learn why talking about trauma often fails to change it and what the brain actually needs instead
  • Discover the core principles behind The Manse Method® and how psycho-sensory techniques create rapid emotional shifts
  • Gain clarity on how practitioners can integrate this approach ethically and safely into their existing practice
  • Gain clarity on how The Manse Method® works in practice through a live demonstration, giving attendees a real understanding of the process and its potential

Who is this course suitable for?

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a student, or simply passionate about nutrition, our free webinars are open to everyone and a space to learn, ask questions, and hear from experts in the field.
