The Parasympathetic Practitioner

One-Day Hands-On Intensive

Introductory Offer – $1,299 (Includes Premium German Therapy Device)

​

Every practitioner develops their own way of treating people.This course isn't about replacing what you already do.

It's about adding another layer to your clinical practice—one that focuses on the role of the nervous system, continue to build patient relationships, and support lasting change through thoughtful hands-on care.

​

Over more than sixteen years in private practice, Simon has continued to evolve the way he works by combining Western Physiotherapy with principles from Japanese Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy and other manual therapy approaches.

 

His philosophy has developed through years of treating patients, continuing to learn, and remaining curious about how the body responds when people feel safe, heard and understood. Whilst Simon holds a belief in Science and evidence based treatment he also holds the philosophy that there is a lot we don't understand so he utilises a range of modalities in the clinic with his patients.

 

Today, almost every new patient who walks into the clinic has been referred by another patient.

​

This course is an opportunity to learn the philosophy and practical skills that have grown from that experience and explore how they may complement the way you already practise.

​

What You'll Learn

Throughout the day you'll explore:

• A practical framework that can be integrated into your existing clinical approach.

• Hands-on techniques that support nervous system regulation.

• Ways to recognise how the autonomic nervous system influences pain, movement and recovery.

• Communication skills that help patients feel understood and involved in their care.

• Simple strategies that encourage long-term therapeutic relationships and continuity of care.

• Practical ways to combine assessment, treatment and education into a more connected patient experience.

Everything taught is designed to be applied in practice immediately while complementing your existing clinical skills.

 

The Philosophy Behind the Course

At the heart of Simon's approach is a simple principle:

The patient is 80%. The practitioner is 20%.

When I spend time listening to the person in front of me—not just the condition they present with—treatment often becomes more meaningful for both practitioner and patient.

The focus shifts from simply reducing symptoms to helping people feel supported throughout their recovery.

It's about creating the conditions where healing can occur while continuing to learn as practitioners ourselves.

This Course Builds On What You Already Know

Whether you're a Physio, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Remedial Massage Therapist, Myotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Bodyworker or Movement Professional, this course is designed to fit alongside your current practice.

You'll leave with practical ideas, hands-on skills and a fresh perspective that can be integrated into the work you're already doing.

The intention isn't to change your profession.It's to broaden your approach.

Included With Your Course

Each participant receives a German-manufactured dual vibration therapy device— it has been CE certified for use in Australia & New Zealand. Simon uses this device daily in practice.

RRP  $1,299

You'll learn how Simon integrates this tool into treatment to support the nervous system, improve treatment flow and complement manual therapy techniques.

Learn in a Small Group Setting

The day is intentionally practical, with plenty of time for demonstration, discussion and hands-on learning.

Set in the peaceful Noosa Hinterland of Eumundi, it's an opportunity to step away from the clinic, reflect on your practice, share ideas with other practitioners and return with approaches you can begin using straight away.

Whether you're newly qualified or have many years of experience, the course is designed to offer practical skills, fresh perspectives and a philosophy that continues to evolve through clinical experience and ongoing learning.
