I have just completed NM4 and as usual from the Barral Institute Ireland, it was well organised, excellent teachers and teaching assistants and the content was well presented, structured and taught. I have done at least 8 course with Barral Ireland and the standard is always consistent, and I look forward to the next course.

Super course!! Anyone working with patients with shoulder, elbow, arm and hand issues this is so precise and useful. I’m fairly new to Barral training and wish I’d have found them sooner. Highly recommend

Over the past couple of years, I’ve completed a number of courses with the Barral Institute here in Ireland. The system they teach dovetails beautifully with my background as an Amatsu practitioner, enhancing both my clinical understanding and, most importantly, the results I can achieve with clients. So far, I’ve completed VM1–4, NM1, MAB1 and Listening Techniques. Each course has deepened my ability to truly “listen” to the body and to follow the client’s own innate wisdom in determining what needs support on any given day. It’s a subtle yet incredibly powerful way of working. I wouldn’t say I’m “there” yet — but with each course, the work makes more sense and continues to unfold in a very grounded, practical way. What I particularly value is the ability to work globally throughout the body while also being very specific — knowing exactly where I am anatomically at any moment. The precision of the training has given me the confidence to develop my own techniques, based on a deep understanding of anatomy and the principles of listening, following, and facilitating the changes the body is seeking. It’s been an exciting and enriching journey over the past few years, and I look forward to continuing the training. I’ve also loved working alongside bodyworkers from different modalities — we may come from varied backgrounds, but through the lens of Jean-Pierre Barral and his exceptional teaching faculty, we’re all supporting profound change in our clients’ bodies.

Barral Ireland is providing visceral curriculum and neural curriculum. Entry level suit many practitioners from many backgrounds. The training is thorough and immediately usable within your existing practice. I use this work all the time. My own background is craniosacral therapy and massage,and I have now covered every aspect of the curriculum. VM1 and Nm1 are fabulous in depth trainings..

Fantastic weekend refresher course Deborah. Kirsty was amazing and expertly clarified some of the more difficult techniques. Bring on the next ones. Missed Gills presence but she was on holidays.

Amazing courses and great teachers. The results I have got with Visceral manipulation have been fantastic. It's opened a whole new world to viewing and treating patient pain.

The MAB1 course at the Barral Institute is my second experience as a foreign student in a completely new country. Deborah was a great help and support. Kare Nielsen is an exceptional teacher. The learning environment was very pleasant—the pace and depth of the material covered were excellent. The courses on visceral and neural manipulation, etc., use the precise skills tested over many years of practice by Jean Pierre Barral, by looking at the body as a whole and identifying the structures that actually cause the main dysfunctions. Learning how to treat the nervous system is an essential complement to working with the viscera and has allowed me to achieve more effective and lasting clinical results. I look forward to returning to the next classes.
