Lymphatic drainage

Gentle Bowen moves to support the lymphatic system and encourage the body's natural drainage and reset.

Equine & Canine CPD

Your animal CPD pathway

Already qualified in animal bodywork elsewhere? Welcome. Our approach to horses and dogs is genuinely different, so everyone begins with our two core method modules — not a beginner's recap, but where you learn the SBITA way of working. Once those are complete, the rest is yours to pick and choose.

For qualified practitioners only

Each pathway is open only to practitioners already qualified in that species. Equine CPD requires an equine qualification, and canine CPD requires a canine qualification. If you are not yet qualified in that field, start with our Accredited Practitioner training instead.
