Professional Training

We teach health professionals the essentials of our innovative approach to healing, the Fortinberry Murray Method, at leading institutions and organizations, including California Institute of Integral Studies and California State University at Northridge. Incorporating unique anthropological insights and powerful mind and body techniques, the FM Method offers a breakthrough method for effecting lasting positive change on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

Uplift Intensive participants

Public Talks and Workshops

We occasionally offer workshops and talks for the public on topics ranging from depression and anxiety to optimal relationships and parenting. Our founding Uplift Intensive workshop proved uniquely effective (94% according to follow-up questionnaires by participants) and is the basis of our best-selling book Creating Optimism (McGraw-Hill, 2004).

“I believe that Bob and Alicia's work is the direction that Moshe Feldenkrais would have gone in had he lived longer.”
-- Ruthy Alon, Feldenkrais Trainer, author of Mindful Spontaneity.
