Expand your teaching, deepen their practice
By facilitating the Buttafly Technique, you’ll not only expand your own skills and insight as a teacher but also empower your students to experience greater self-awareness, alignment, and well-being both on and off the mat.
The Buttafly Technique Facilitator Programme
This short, focused training is designed to give you a personal, embodied experience of the Technique. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the Buttafly for yourself, learning how it feels in your own body and discovering how to integrate it safely and meaningfully into your personal practice. This foundation ensures that when you introduce the Technique to your students, you do so from a place of genuine understanding and confidence.
- Understand the principles and safe use of the Buttafly Technique in a class setting.
- Confidently guide students in self-positioning and relaxation, without crossing into therapeutic territory or offering individual treatment.
- Hold space for independent self-practice, respecting each student’s process and boundaries.
- Recognise your own comfort level and know when and how to refer students to certified practitioners for further support.
What you'll receive as a facilitator:
- Lifetime access to my comprehensive 14-part video series, The Buttafly Technique: Foundations for Natural Back Care & Spine Health, with step-by-step demonstrations, guided meditations, and practical tips you can revisit anytime.
- Clear scripts and class guides for introducing the Buttafly and facilitating self-practice.
- Visual aids and videos to support safe, effective positioning.
- FAQs and referral resources to help students who wish to explore the full Buttafly Technique or seek therapeutic support.
This programme is about more than just teaching - it’s about deepening your own connection to the Buttafly Technique, so you can share it authentically, safely, and with true confidence in your classes.
How the Buttafly Technique Facilitator Programme works
The beauty of the Buttafly Technique is that it puts self-care and empowerment at the heart of every class. Here’s how it all comes together:
Students take the lead in their own practice
Everyone who participates in a Buttafly Technique session comes prepared—they’ve already learned the Technique (through the video series, an approved workshop, or direct instruction from a certified practitioner) and feel confident using it. This means students are responsible for their own set-up, comfort, and experience. It’s about tuning in, listening to the body, and owning the journey.
Teachers hold space, not teach
As a facilitator, your role isn’t to instruct or adjust. Instead, you create a calm, supportive environment where each student can explore the Buttafly Technique at their own pace. You’re there to set boundaries, offer reassurance, and encourage self-awareness, allowing the practice to remain truly student-led and deeply personal.
Clear guidelines and boundaries for everyone
To keep things safe, professional, and empowering, we’ve created two simple documents for you to download, read, and share with your students:
- The Buttafly Technique: Guidelines for Facilitators
This document outlines exactly what’s expected of facilitators—what you can and can’t do, how to set up the space, and how to support students without overstepping your professional boundaries. The Buttafly Technique: Guidelines for Facilitators (PDF)
Policy for Sacred Self-Practice
This policy is designed for your students to read and sign. It sets out the expectations for self-responsibility, clarifies that you’re there to hold space (not teach or advise), and ensures everyone is on the same page before joining a session. Policy for Sacred Self-Practice (PDF)
Facilitating the Buttafly Technique allows you to grow as an educator and guide, while giving your students the tools to connect more deeply with themselves, supporting their alignment, relaxation, and vitality.

The body has a deep intelligence and the capacity to bring itself back into balance. That said, we rarely, if at all, consider how this applies to the spine and posture. But it does, and the Buttafly Technique harnesses it beautifully.
