Myofascial Release
Apprentice Program
We are excited to offer a very personalized mentoring experience here at the Midwest Myofascial Release Center. The minimum prerequisite is completion of either MFR I or Fascial Pelvis with the John F. Barnes Seminars. The mentoring program can be structured as a weekend workshop, one-on-one mentoring by the day, or an ongoing apprenticeship program with the option to transition to employment. While the workshops have a fee associated with them, the ongoing mentoring/apprenticeship program is structured so that the mentee is paid a percentage of the session based on skill level, as defined by John F. Barnes’ Seminars (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert; see below for skill level requirements). During your time with us, you will work with both current and new clientele, who present with a wide range of diagnoses and differing needs along their individual journeys.
