An invitation From Satyarthi
Creator of the M.E.R. technique and trainer
Welcome to Myofascial Energetic Release Training, the culmination of nearly 50 years of my life spent learning, practicing and teaching deep bodywork to over 10,000 students.
A journey which began when I was a professional dancer in San Francisco. The daily training was intense, and the physical demands took a huge toll on my body, leaving my muscles tight, sore, and aching. It was during this time that I discovered the profound relief and release that bodywork brought me from my rigorous training schedule.
My first exploration into the world of bodywork began by learning and practicing massage in 1970. This experience ignited my passion and by 1971 I had trained in postural integration and started giving regular sessions. It was becoming clear to me by this point that bodywork was my true calling and would become my life’s work.
The “Co-creation” of the ‘Rebalancing Bodywork Approach’
Drawing from the vast knowledge I had gained over many years of studying human anatomy and exploring diverse healing schools, modalities, and bodywork techniques, I co-created the renowned system of bodywork called Rebalancing. This integrates various approaches and has earned international recognition.
The Trainers
Ketu Bø Ketu first trained as a therapist with Veeresh Yuson in the Osho Humaniversity in the Netherlands, specializing in bodywork, emotional expression, dance and movement. As a staff member he led workshops in the Humaniversity as well as internationally for many years. After studying Postural Integration body-psychotherapy he trained with Satyarthi Peloquin to become a MER practitioner. Next to having his own therapy practice in the Netherlands he is now leading the MER training in Scandinavia with Ulla Thordal. He graduated as a PAS (Postural Alignment Specialist) in the Egoscue Method and is a NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model) practitioner. He teaches group-dynamics and character-styles at Bodymind, the leading institute for body-oriented psychotherapy in the Netherlands. Ketu is passionate about his work and has a profound interest in the connection between mind, body and soul. He draws from 30 years of experience as a group leader, meditator, bodyworker, and therapist and meets people with warmth, curiosity and humor. By keeping his pulse on the latest research into fascia, the autonomic nervous system and the connection between them he keeps the MER training in Denmark up-to-date on what is happening in the world of bodywork. “Once you learn to ground in your body and to trust what you are feeling and experiencing there your life will take on a different quality and you will learn to live in the here-and-now, rather than being stuck in old patterns and traumas”.
“My passion is that people are healthy both physically and mentally. My tools in my work are my hands and my heart. When I put my hands on people, they more or less start to work by themselves. My clients tell me that it is like my hands have their own healing system! It is so important that you find your own way in life. We all have a purpose to be here, bodywork is mine and you must find yours”.
