The People

So who are we?

The College of Body Science is run by Caroline Barrow who, having trained in several different therapeutic approaches (shiatsu, craniosacral and visceral manipulation) discovered a love for the A&P but found there were very few places to get more of it..

'The more I learned about treating, the more I became fascinated in how the body really works and I wanted answers in more detail. I have found, time and time again, that the more specific my anatomical and physiological knowledge, the more accurate I can be in my treatments or in understanding how I can help.

You may be interested in the body from the perspective of being a therapist and working with others’ bodies, or for your personal health - maybe just because these quite miraculous ‘machines’ we inhabit are worth consideration.

Most people get more and more interested as they start to feel more comfortable with the language and build a framework for understanding. Whatever your current level of knowledge, excitement, fear or inspiration about the subject, we focus the information to make it fun, fascinating and fitting for you as practitioners and professionals.'

The TEACHING TEAM currently includes:

  Fawzia Wilkinson

Fawzia is particularly passionate about physiology and has taught biology and reproductive physiology to a variety of different students including those on access courses and midwives training at Brighton University. She will be teaching 'Mothering Science' and is one of our team for the qualification & RECAP courses.

 

  Jo McCurrich

Jo is a chartered physiotherapist and craniosacral and visceral practitioner. She has worked in a variety of settings both in the UK and overseas. She is committed to bridging the gap between complementary and orthodox practices and will be one of our team for the qualification courses.

 

  Joe Gore

Joe Gore is a registered osteopath with a particular interest in craniosacral therapy and 20 years experience in general osteopathic practice. He currently teaches introductory courses in craniosacral therapy for the Upledger institute UK and is training to lead their general programme, He organises our courses in Cornwall and teaches on the RECAP course and Inside the Cranium.

 

  Caroline Barrow

Caroline Barrow Inspired to start the college due to her love of studying the body, Caroline will be teaching parts of a number of the courses including the Certificate in Body Science, the RECAPs, tutorials and Anatomy Real. She has taught anatomy and physiology for nearly 10 years, gained a degree in biomedical science 4 years ago and especially loves using games and quizzes to help memory recall. She always aims to make these subjects interesting for complementary therapists.

Linda teaches the Foundation in Kinesiology, courses in using Tuning Forks in healing and Reiki. She practices as a kinesoiologist and metaphysical teacher. See also www.learnkinesiology.com

Why is it called the COLLEGE OF BODY SCIENCE?

I often tell people that I honestly don't remember the moment when I decided I would actually start a training school. I remember thinking for a number of years that it was hard to find on-going training in the a&p and the few courses I did find were great, but not enough in what I wanted and needed to know.

What I do remember though is telling a few key people (think ex-bosses and successful business colleagues!) about the idea, apparently in a confident and 'done-deal' fashion - the importance of the few key people being that I couldn't turn back and had to go through with it! From then on all the preparatory things happened as if they were meant to be.

I chose the 'College of Body Science' as it was important that it represented more than just the A&P. While that was to be the first main focus, to fill the gap in extra training in this area, I feel that 'body science' has the potential to take us into other areas - especially metaphysics, quantum physics and that place where science is meeting philosophy. While we have bodies that work 'scientifically', part of that science involves energy, thought, consciousness and spirituality - these affect our health and sense of wellbeing. So if you wonder what exactly we mean by 'Body Science'. well, hopefully you feel the potential to incorporate everything that keeps us ticking!
