Phases of Digestion

In this module, you will learn about the different phases of digestion, and how to enhance those phases to relieve constipation and more.

Meet the Instructor

Barbara Horsley Abdominal massage therapist, Visceral Manipulation, herbal education

I've massaged thousands of bellies over the last 26 years and I can honestly say each one is uniquely beautiful and has a story to tell.

I have a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching people how to care for their reproductive and digestive organs, abdomens, and pelvic floors. What lights me up is seeing people connect with the inner beauty and wisdom of their bodies.

FAQs

Will this course address how to heal SIBO or other underlying medical condition?

This course doesn't address how to heal SIBO or other underlying medical diagnosis. You should also work with a physician or functional medicine practitioner to heal SIBO, Thyroid disorder, or other medical condition that may be contributing to your constipation. The massage and movement techniques in this course will compliment other protocols by improving intestinal circulation, tone, and motility.

Are these the same massage techniques in the Womb Care and Free the Belly courses?

The course is currently 2.5 hours of video and an exercise ebook. 40 minutes of the video lesson is from the FTB course (those videos include castor oil packs, bolstering, contraindications for belly massage, belly release exercise and circumference breathing videos).
The colon massage videos, and lectures on types, testing, diet, supplements, and herbal remedies are original to the Make Shift Happen course.

How long will it take to complete the course?

The course is self-paced, meaning you can take your time and work through the course in a timeframe that works best for you and your body.

Is there anyone who shouldn't take this course?

The manual therapy outlined in the course may not be appropriate for everyone or during flare-ups or certain conditions. These conditions where self-abdominal therapy/massage is not appropriate include, but are not limited to, post surgery while the layers of the abdomen are still healing (get permission from you doctor before doing abdominal massage), if you have open abdominal wounds, acute diverticulitis, acute Chrohn’s disease flare-ups and acute colitis. Just give your belly a rest during flare ups. This course is not intended for pregnancy. You shouldn't do self massage directly over mesh implants, IUDs or other implants, sutures, or intentional surgical organ suspensions. If you are unsure about whether abdominal therapy is appropriate for your specific condition, consult your physician to see if abdominal massage is permitted.

Can I take this course while pregnant?

This course is not designed for pregnancy. There are just too many subjective variables that come into play to learn the techniques via an online course.
