Become a M.E.R.
Professional Practitioner
Are you looking for an efficient and proven technique to help your clients to break free from their pain ?
M.E.R. technique (Myofascial Energetic Release or energy release of connective tissue) is a unique body work well-being technique created by Satyarthi Peloquin, that helps relieve pain by releasing the natural ability of the body to rebalance itself by breath, touch and movement through the muscle fascias.
In the form of 6 independent, intensive residential retreats (+ 1 optional, module Trauma Release), this professional training is a powerful and life changing experience. It will allow you to discover the technique, develop your skills and confidence, enabling you to offer your customers a high standard of treatment.
You will discover the art and science of the body via supported stretching, the unravelling of the connective tissue by sensitive touch, the joints mobilization and other techniques.
We are organizing the Myofascial Energetic Release training
with Satyarthi Peloquin since 2014
The cause of 90% of chronic physical pain suffered by humanity is an over-contraction of the five types of tissues : muscles, fascia, skin, tendons and nerves.
M.E.R. technique aims to relieve acute and chronic pain in order to allow the person who suffers to lead a full and active life.
Release the body's natural self-healing ability
M.E.R. technique is a unique combination of manipulations of soft and deep tissue, release of joints, energy work, breathing, unravelling of myofascial muscles and body awareness training. This work frees up the person's physical and emotional patterns, activates his or her natural capacity for self-healing and thus alleviates pain.
M.E.R. technique treats the person as a whole (body, mind, emotions...) and an important place is given to study of this to help the client understand what creates spasms in the tissues (emotional repression, negative beliefs, dysfunctional habits,...). The practitioner must develop sensitivity and support, to create a space of confidence where the person can be open to healing.

How to practice the MER technique with sensitivity and precision, thanks to a good anatomical knowledge.
How to evaluate the spasms in soft tissues of the body and the head.
