The Ixchel System®
Become a Practitioner
Are you a bodyworker or mental health practitioner looking to find the catalyst for your patient's recovery?
We're building our team of founding practitioners to bring The Ixchel System courses and methodologies into workplaces, schools and other large organisations. Interested in exploring how The Ixchel System can transform your work and your clients' lives?
If you're a physical or mental well-being practitioner, bringing The Ixchel System into your work will transform your client's lives.
Our Get Into Your Body Methodology and The Body and E-Motion principles are the result of years of learning and thousands of client hours. The Ixchel System is designed to get people out of the cycle of dependency on experts and empower them to manage chronic pain conditions on their own.
If you have clients that you keep seeing again and again with the same recurring issues, The Ixchel System will teach them to identify the root cause of their pain, re-align their entire body and break free from chronic physical and mental pain.
This is the knowledge every human deserves to have about their body.
Core Elements of Practitioner Training
You will begin your CPD Accredited Journey here, learning to assess every joint in your body in 3D, realigning your posture and gait. We'll cover everything our bodies are designed to do and the range of movement available to us. Delivered through video, audio, written materials and live sessions, Level 1 reveals how we create our pathologies – and shows we have the power to break free from them.
Next, you will learn how to move your joints and muscular-skeletal system in alignment. We'll focus on the timing of our body's movements and learn how the correct engagement of muscles is effortless. You'll feel the light switches going on as your body finds its alignment. Level 2 is an absolute joy for the body and demonstrates the power of treating the whole forest and not just the tree.
Here, we'll delve into the emotional causes of our body's misalignment. You'll learn about the autonomic nervous system and how automatic responses, personality traits, and maladaptive stress responses eclipse the body’s capacity to heal.
We'll explore polyvagal theory and how to switch on our parasympathetic nervous system to create support and self-regulation. You will also be guided to consider how epigenetics and inherited trauma could be linked to pathologies and unexplained pain or disease.
Finally, we'll look at the role of nutrition in our healing journey, including how posture and gait impact the digestive system and polyvagal theory in the context of the digestive system.
You'll learn about the digestive tract and its impact on nutrient absorption, the chemicals the gut sends to the brain and how they impact emotional and mental health, as well as the impact of pesticides and the distribution process of food on the digestive tract.

TEACH YOUR CLIENTS WHAT THEIR BODIES HAVE FORGOTTEN
How do your clients move? And how is their movement impacting their physical and mental well-being?
The Ixchel System is designed to teach you to teach your clients how to unlock forgotten movements and powerfully shift their body's alignment to drastically improve their physical and mental well-being.
Every client starts off with a gait analysis, and you'll work with them to re-align their entire body from the ground up methodically working through the system from the feet to the jaw.
From the beginning, you will work to create a sense of safety for your clients, giving them permission to move and shift within a safe container – this is vital for all the work you will do.
WE OFFER SUPPORT BEYOND YOUR QUALIFICATION

- You will have the tools to get your clients engaged with and immediately connected to their internal structure, feel aligned and able to get in action and move calmly forward

The Ixchel System
I was just looking for some pain relief for my carpel tunnel but I got
so much more. As well as hands-on treatment, I have learnt a daily
practise to help me with stress, good posture, how to prevent the
pain in the first place, and a knowledge of my body that I had never
come across before which gave me many´aha!' moments.Ruth T.

The Ixchel system has already helped me massively and to be able to take my therapy clients through the system and help them make significant improvements to their lives is such a gift. It helped me and I gained more awareness of my body and I want other people to benefit from it.

I just have to tell you what a game changer that exercise was for my ribcage. It has translated throughout all aspects of my life. I realised I was never breathing properly!! Now I am breathing up instead of out and the stiffness and rigidity of my chest has just gone away.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the questions people most frequently ask us:
How long does the program take?
As a Trainee Practitioner you initially come into the program as a client, so that you experience the process for yourself. You will do Level 1 (Minimum 7 Weeks) and Level 2 (Minimum 7 weeks). You will also need to do the Live Zoom groups for both levels. You are able to progress and start the Practitioner Foundation once you have finished your Level 1 Group. At this stage you will need to create videos of the 48 Level 1 Practices. These will be assessed with feedback for each Practice.
You are then able to begin your 10 Case Studies.
During this period you will also be given teaching practice in our Live VIP sessions, where you will be viewed and assessed by your peers and trainers.
I am very busy, can I do the program over a longer period of time?
YES! We believe in aligning with the pace that works for you, with realistic boundaries. We are fully aware that some people have lots of responsibilities and we want your Practitioner journey to support and nourish you. You will have regular opportunities to review your progress and participation in the program. However, Level 1 and 2 need to be completed on the timeframe agreed. Meanwhile the Practitioner Foundation program can be more fluid.
Are there In Person Trainings?
YES! We run in person practitioner training weekends every 3 months. Currently in Brighton in the UK. On the Saturday we allow clients to attend, as it is a deep dive into the movement and practices, and an opportunity for Trainees to practice working with and supporting new participants. Sunday is spent focusing on more in-depth training.
Is there a payment plan?
Absolutely! If you feel the calling for joining our Practitioner Community, then we would love you to join us. We will discuss the right terms for you based on your circumstances.
What happens when I qualify?
We are a community and The Ixchel System and Get Into Your Body Methodology are registered as our Intellectual Property. Your clients will need to purchase the online platform course, and you will be authorized to facilitate the training for them. You will not be able to use our system without your client using our digital products and participating in the Zoom Groups.
The Ixchel System Community is part of the program and we want all participants to benefit from participating and engaging within our incredible Wellness Community.
I live in another country, can I do the training?
We have Practitioners in UK, Netherlands, Spain, Italy and USA. We have our program translated into Dutch, Italian and Spanish.
All Practitioner Training Sessions are accessible internationally!
What other Practitioner Training Sessions are there?
We run biweekly zoom Practitioner Drop-In Sessions, so you can discuss anything that you are learning, or case study queries. This is also a wonderful way to learn from and share with other Practitioners.
We also run monthly half-day zoom Practitioner Training on the first Saturday of the month for the months when we do not meet in person.
Is attendance required at all the practitioner trainings?
We ask that you make an effort to schedule your availability for the training sessions, however we also understand that you already have professional responsibilities so we do not expect you to attend everything. However, all training sessions are recorded so that you can review the training in your own time.
What Certification will I receive?
You will receive certification at the end of each Level that you qualify to teach. We are accredited by Federation Of Holistic Therapists and currently endorsed by ITEC and VTCT.
