Jocelyn Olivier Founder, Director & Esteemed Teacher
Raised in Canada on the islands off the West Coast of British Columbia, and applauded as one of the best practitioners in her field here and abroad, Jocelyn began her work in Marin County, California, in 1972. Her path to the creation of Conscious BodyWork and NeuroMuscular Reprogramming was influenced by studies in neuro-muscular re-education, applied and educational kinesiology, American Indian and Hawaiian shamanism, and a trip to China to study Chinese physical therapy, or Tui-Na. Jocelyn is past President of the Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP), and chairperson of the Somatics and Wellness Community of the AHP. She directed the 1999 International Somatics Congress: Body Wisdom
