Certified Teacher ProgramFor our entire 20+ years careers spent studying with Dr. Hammer, he instilled in us the value of teaching this work to make sure that it doesn’t end with us. As we studied, practiced and began to teach, we maintained direct contact with Dr. Hammer and each other which proved to be the method for securing the accuracy, intention, and development of Shen-Hammer Pulse. If you feel drawn to immerse yourself in the teachings of Dr. Hammer as it was taught to us, we would love to welcome you on this journey! Red Bird Flies Collective has determined the most common and efficient way to present the material as well as preserve the lineage, by reviewing the past and current established Shen-Hammer teaching methods and creating new intricately designed teaching materials.
Red Bird Flies Collective has re-established the standard for the nomenclature of the Shen-Hammer Pulse system to clarify language that maintains consistency and upholding congruency amongst different teachers thereby creating the ability for students to seamlessly train with different teachers, materials, and courses around the globe.
All courses are all designed for direct clinical application and advancing to become a Certified Teacher. Anyone interested in learning more about pulse for direct integration into clinical practice will take the same courses which also prepare you for becoming a Certified Teacher in the future.
Practitioners with prior Shen-Hammer Pulse training, who are able to demonstrate their skills, can be advanced through the certification levels at the discretion of the Red Bird Flies Collective Certification Committee. Certification Process
