Legal Stuff

By taking a course with me, you can’t call yourself an osteopath (unless you already are one) and you can’t say you can perform osteopathic techniques (these are legally reserved for osteopaths), nor that you have been osteopathically trained (unless this was part of your medical/osteopathic school education).  This is all legal stuff to keep YOU out of trouble.  I don't have the ability to confer upon you the designation of being an osteopath (or any other designation).  I also don’t have the ability to confer on you the legal ability to touch another human being within the healing arts, nor can taking any of my courses expand what you can legally do in your scope of practice.  I will teach the things I know about a topic (how I think, what I do and the results I have seen), but this does not convey upon you the ability to be a physician - osteopathic or otherwise.  You can say that you have taken courses with me, and that’s about the legal extent of it.

Please follow the licensure laws of your State or Country when it comes to treating patients/clients and don’t step outside of your legal scope of practice.
