After more than 40 years of learning, teaching, and working with the brain and body, there is one thing I know for sure: knowledge becomes most powerful when we know how to put it into practice.

I created these online courses to share what I’ve learned in a way that is practical, approachable, and easy to bring into your own life and work. Whether you are simply curious about how the body communicates, want tools you can use with the people you care about, or are a professional looking to expand the way you work with others, there is something here for you.

Come learn with me.

Muscle testing is a practical skill that anyone can learn. In this fun, lively recorded class, Dr. Books introduces you to the fundamentals of muscle testing and helps you develop confidence testing both yourself and others.

Learn why muscle strength changes, what muscle checking can tell you, and the key factors that influence a clear response. Use what you learn for yourself, with family and friends, or as part of the work you already do with others.

Muscle Testing Made Easy is a complete course and valuable skill on its own. It is also the prerequisite for those who choose to continue into Books Neural Therapy®.

For more than 40 years, Dr. Books has developed and refined Books Neural Therapy® through her clinical work with the brain, body, and nervous system. BNT® Level 1 brings the foundational principles and techniques of that work into a course for people who feel called to learn it.

Designed for parents, grandparents, caregivers, educators, somatic and wellness practitioners, and others with an interest in working more deeply with the brain and body, Level 1 gives you a neurological framework for understanding and applying what you feel and observe.

No healthcare license is required for BNT® Level 1.

Prerequisite: Muscle Testing Made Easy

For healthcare professionals who want to study Dr. Books’ work more comprehensively, the professional BNT® courses provide a deeper exploration of the neurological, cranial, and hands-on techniques she has developed throughout her career.

The complete professional training spans three levels, progressing from the foundations of BNT® through more advanced assessment, cranial work, and integration techniques.

This path is designed for healthcare professionals who want to understand Dr. Books’ complete BNT® approach through a clinical lens and incorporate what they learn into their work with patients.

I have spent my career asking questions.

Why does the body respond the way it does? Why do some people struggle when everything appears to be working normally? What happens when we learn to listen differently?

Those questions have taken me through decades of clinical practice, study, experimentation, teaching, and—most importantly—learning from the people who have trusted me to work with them.

Now, as I approach 80, sharing what I have learned feels more important than ever.

These courses are my way of passing that knowledge forward—giving you practical tools, new ways of looking at the brain and body, and the opportunity to take what resonates with you and put it into practice.

I hope you’ll come learn with me.
