Welcome!  
 Thanks for visiting The Star Institute web site.
I'm excited about our Spring 2012 schedule including breath training in April, Birth Journey Facilitator in May, The Anthropology of Birth with Robbie Davis-Floyd, Wisdom of Water Birth and Aquatic training with myself and Star Practitioners. In addition, in order to assist in our individual and collective birthing of peace on earth, we have a Dolphin Adventure Retreat in July in Key West. Fla. We look forward to seeing you in Key West or beautiful Austin, Texas and delight in your interest in our classes and programs. Let us know how we can help you!

     Founded in 2000 in Austin,Texas, Star Institute provides education for birth, healing and creative living. We appreciate your interest in natural healthcare and the exciting role integrative techniques-- using energy, body, breath, mind, emotions and spirit-- are  playing in helping people experience conscious evolution.
     We provide programs for birth and healthcare professionals as well as classes, mentorship and private sessions for individuals, couples and families. 
     Star Institute respects the profound potential for vibrant health and well being inherent in the human body. Our programs, based in Ebb & Flow Integration Therapy™, help health professionanls meet the needs of people who recognize their self-healing potential.
      In addition to workshops and continuing education Star Institute offers certification as an Ebb & Flow Integration Practitioner, Birth Journey Facilitator, and Water Birth Facilitator. Through these programs participants deepen their understanding, intuition and particular skills using energy, body, breath, and water, centered around birth.
     Birth, as a journey each of us has experienced, is explored as a foundational experience for our health and well-being as well as a model for fulfilling our creative potential in daily life.     
     Please see the pages on this site for more information for 2012. We are in the process of developing this site and will be adding more informative features.
     We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in a class.
