Where does the course take place?
How is it delivered?
There are four elements to the course:
- Flipped classroom – pre-learning resources to read/watch/do prior to the sessions. These are great for priming your brain with what’s to come: a sort of scaffolding on which you can build the rest of your learning. They give greater confidence and understanding when you attend each session.
- Q&As – bring any questions to each session
- Put into practice what you have learned – for example, you may be asked to start making observations in your own breathing or in those you work with.
- Attend the weekly sessions
Throughout the course, we use brain-based learning techniques (you can learn more about these in our Brain Based Learning Course).
Who is delivering the course?
The course is delivered by Gemma Herbertson. Gemma is a keen competitve cyclist, and professionally she has over twelve years of working with neuroplasticity therapies, and she is the inventor of the Exchange Breathing Method. She has various qualifications and training including from the Institute of Neuro Physiological Psychology, the Carrick Institute (for functional neurology); plus she has studied Biomedicine with CNM, and Functional Neuro-Anatomy with Cambridge University.
