All courses offered by the Neurovascular Institute are grounded in common-sense anatomy and physiology, incorporating the latest advances in neuroscience, and made clinically relevant in a simple, fluid form.
From the early stories of osteopathy and cranial therapy, our work has developed its own grounding in science-based medicine. Where science meets our Profound Neutral touch, we offer a simple breath and invitation for the body to reorganize and flow with greater health.
There is nothing "alternative" about reclaiming your authentic expression of life through body, mind and spirit!
*We are now running courses online, with "ZOOM Lab Days" scheduled separately. Please see the specific courses for time and date details.*

What We Offer
New in 2023!
"Autonomic Authority Masterclass"
Fight – Flight – FORGET IT!
As so many of us are experiencing, it’s a very different landscape and dynamic out there in our post-pandemic world. Out of all the disruptive rumble, some very interesting things are happening.
Here in NVI-world, one of the pivotal processes has been the production of my weekly online TV show/podcast, “Neuro-Transformation Journey.” When I began these shows nine months ago, the stories of our work and the healing process began emerging in a whole new way. It’s as if a greater, underlying dynamic was speaking through our familiar story framework.
This has had a profound effect on the treatment work as well as the teaching/coaching work. And it’s time to bring this evolving work together, in its new connection container – online webinars.
To give you a taste of how the work has been evolving, I’d like to start with this free masterclass on “Autonomic Authority.”
Yes. Out beyond the old stories of “Fight flight freeze! Rest and digest!” is the true source river of our autonomic, interoceptive vitality. The “F*F*F*!” mantra is the tail of the dog of this critical resource, and as we slide deeper into our soft, breathing presence, we land in our true embodied empowerment.
In this one-hour class, we will
- Review the basic Autonomic Nervous System stories.
- Introduce our interoceptive functions.
- Create the connections of our body-brain-breathing dynamics.
Who is this class for?
- Therapists and coaches who would like to guide their patients to better health.
- Folks who would like to experience their own health transformations.
Class details? We're starting this journey on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023. I've got three times for you to choose from, and clicking that link will take you straight to the Zoom registration.
Thursday, 9/14/2023, 9:00 am ET

Online Courses are Here!
Yes! Now you can get your CEUs for two different NVI classes, online, through HomeCEUConnection.
Sensory Brain Development
This is the class that makes sense of the "Why of the Wiring." From infants to elders, learn where the wiring might have gone awry, and learn to recognize the compensatory patterns that evolved from that original confusion.
Learn more about this 4-hour class here, or click right over to HomeCEUConnection here.
Neuro-Revisions for Tethered Oral Tissues
“Neuro-Revision for Tethered Oral Tissues” Class provides beginner through advanced therapists with critical information about the neurophysiology of orofacial disruptions and dysfunctions, current issues in oral motor dysregulation, and effective treatment strategies for optimizing neurological organization to critical orofacial structures through the pediatric population.

New Online Course Coming Soon!
Neuro-Ignition for Movement Therapy Class
Neuro-Ignition for Movement Therapy Class is an online class that provides movement educators and therapists with critical information about sensorymotor development, the scientific basis of our integrative interventions, and neuroscience-based approaches that facilitate optimal body-brain functional outcomes, from pediatrics through eldercare.
When we understand the internal neuro-dynamics that drive our external movement patterns, we help our patients move forward with ease!
This class is now available on our online course platform, with weekly live interaction and guided zoom lab sessions. We start on November 4, 2021!
Learn more HERE.
It will also be available for your CEUs on HomeCEUConnection.
Online Clinical Foundations
Our 2-day introductory course, now in three, two-hour live webinar sessions. This class that starts with an exploration of the neuroscience of our interactive touch and the physiology of Profound Neutral. We then move into a series of anatomy lessons to give you a wide range of techniques to integrate into your clinic practice. Learn how to be profoundly effective and enhance your existing manual skills.
ONLINE PEDIATRIC PROCESS CLASS
In this six-hour live webinar we explore the growing challenges of assessing and treating infant and pediatric populations, specifically in regards to establishing neurodevelopmentally appropriate therapeutic interventions.
From the general embryological process of neurosensory organization, to the specific survival processes of the central autonomic system, we will identify the original body-brain logic of the newborn and gain a clearer understanding of the challenges that premature or disrupted arrival brings.
Personal Process Sessions
Do you have questions for Dr. Cathy, about integrating treatment techniques, landing in your own Profound Neutral presence and process, or bringing this work “beyond the table?” Well, now you can schedule a 45-minute online video session to explore all that, and so much more. Let’s connect, breathe, and explore the possibilities together!
Cozy Connection Hours!
Well, it's been three full years since we began our Cozy Connection Hours!
In this time of chaos and confusion, I believe it’s more important than ever to land securely in our presence, our connections, our true breath of hope and life. You’ve heard me say so often “We need the container for our transformation” - well - I’ve created a new container for us. The “Cozy Connection Hours” series.
We have been meeting on Tuesday mornings at 10 am ET for Cozy Coffee Hour.
At this moment in time, I have revised the schedule for our Tuesday morning Connection Hour. We now meet every OTHER Tuesday at 10 am ET.
Currently, those dates are: Sept. 19, 2023; Oct. 3, 17, 31, 2023; Nov. 14, 28, 2023; and Dec. 12 and 26, 2023. The link for our Tuesday morning Connection Hour is here.
I'm so grateful for our Cozy Connection Container! Thank you all for your participation!
PS. If the “group thing” is not quite your speed right now, but you’d love to connect one-to-one, I’ve got the perfect solution for you: my new “Personal Process Sessions,” where we can connect online for 45 minutes and help you land in what’s right for you right now. To learn more, click here or drop me an email directly. Let’s get landed!
