Your pathway to become a Certified Gyno Chiro.
As initiates progress through the layers of the Gyno Chiro Method, they embody deeper levels of its principles. Each layer encompasses WISDOM (virtual courses) and EMBODIMENT (practical application) with the goal of centered integration.
LAYER 1: ELEMENTALS
This elemental layer covers the basic principles and elements of the Gyno Chiro Method, preparing initiates for deeper work. The virtual courses provide essential knowledge for working in the feminine energy field, as well as understanding and applying gynofascial techniques, while the hands-on workshop focuses on external gynofascial rebalancing techniques supporting the belly and breasts.
LAYER 2: ROOTS
Using the Elemental building blocks, Roots delves into the internal pelvis, its connection to the spine, and the neurofascial implications reaching up to the jaw in the virtual courses. During a three-day hands-on retreat, initiates learn internal pelvic floor and gynofascial rebalancing techniques, including fascial rebalancing from the spine to the internal jaw, all within a supportive feminine energy healing environment.
LAYER 3: CERTIFICATION
Initiates have 13 moons to complete the program for certification. This includes finishing all virtual courses and competencies, attending the in-person workshops, and completing 4 case studies per layer (Elementals and Roots) for certification. Successful completion of these requirements leads to certification of completion in External and/or Internal Gynofascial Rebalancing Techniques. Upon earning both certificates, initiates become a fully Certified Gyno Chiro™, eligible for Train the Trainer when it becomes available.
LAYER 4: BLOSSOMS
Certified practitioners of either Elementals or Roots can join Blossoms to renew their certificate annually. This layer offers continued access to our virtual collective, all program content, monthly virtual sessions, and additional benefits to support their ongoing education and dreams for their practice.

Frequently asked questions.
This is a competency-based training that is flexible in its format. All layers begin with self-led foundational training to prepare you for the practical application. Once those are complete, the certification phase includes virtual skill shares where you can process and present your case studies as you practice Gyno Chiropractic. The goal is proficiency in Gyno Chiropractic techniques. You have 13 months to work through all of your certification requirements.
We are headquartered in Portland, OR and often hold our retreats here. Oakland, CA is a secondary location where routine retreats will be held. Retreats in other locations are possible depending on how many students are in certain areas (if you would like to host, let us know!).
This program is designed for you to be able to integrate Gyno Chiropractic methods and apply them immediately after you demonstrate the core competencies at the in-person retreat. For certification, there is a requirement to complete a set number of case studies, demonstrate your ability to support a wide range of pelvic floor clients, and perform the internal and external Gyno Chiropractic techniques. There is a strong scaffolding of support within the program with high touch from your instructors and the community so you're competent and confident conducting the techniques, exams and assessments.
Nothing up front. Four different books are required reading for certification. Inside the program, there will also be a resource list of recommendations for deeper learning and the supplies you need to begin your practice.
We do not offer refunds. Our training material is front-loaded and we offer generous payment plans. There is deep and direct support from your instructors throughout the learning and integration process. Please be sure this is the right program for you before you sign the contract and submit payment. If you are not ready to dive all in upfront, there are lots of ways to begin your journey slowly (see Elementals).
Each state is different regarding internal jaw or internal pelvic work. Ultimately you are responsible for working within your scope of practice. Please know that the information in this program is incredibly useful to both in-scope and out-of-scope chiropractors. Most of the material in this program is still applicable. Additionally, the pelvic floor muscles attach directly to the tailbone and sacrum. They affect the spine and *should* be within the scope for all chiropractors. We have already been in communication with at least one state board with ambiguous laws when it comes to internal work and they are looking into our program as the gold standard of training to allow this work in their state. Education is advocacy and it continues to look promising that boards are willing to open up their scopes of practice with the right training and support. We do offer a discount for those in currently out-of-scope states. Please contact us to enquire about your options.
