TRAUMA INFORMED - IRM TRAINING CERTIFICATE
The Inherited Release Method
The Inherited Release Method is a trauma-informed, body-led healing approach that helps you identify and release the emotional, energetic, and ancestral patterns stored deep within the body. Whether you’re here to heal yourself or learn how to support others, this method offers a powerful way to clear what was never yours to hold, and reconnect with who you truly are beneath it all.
The Inherited Release Method is a body-based energy healing modality that weaves together principles from Reiki, Kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and energetic anatomy - including the spine, meridians, and ancestral field. It honours both ancient traditions and contemporary practices, working with the body’s intelligence to bring awareness to what’s been carried.
What makes this method distinct is its ability to help us recognise whether what we’re feeling belongs to us, or whether it’s something we’ve inherited - emotionally, energetically, or through our family line.
IRM doesn’t just focus on surface symptoms. It offers a grounded, intuitive way to identify and release patterns that may have been passed down for generations, helping the body restore balance, clarity, and connection.

This isn’t just another course.
This is for the ones who feel there’s something deeper calling — something older than their own story. If you’ve ever sensed that the pain, the patterns, or the weight you carry didn’t begin with you… you’re right. And you’re not alone. The Inherited Release Method isn’t about ticking boxes or memorising techniques — it’s about learning to listen to the body’s wisdom, to trust in the energy that moves through us, and to honour the stories woven through our bloodlines.
This training will take you into the layers most people don’t even know exist — into the nervous system, into ancestral memory, into the places where healing is needed but rarely touched. You’ll not only learn how to support others through this powerful work, but you’ll reconnect to your own knowing in the process. This is for those who are ready to break cycles, restore connection, and be of service in a way that is raw, real, and life-changing.

Uncover and Heal Ancestral Wounds
Our ancestors pass down more than just DNA, they leave behind emotional and energetic imprints that can shape our experiences, patterns, and the way we move through life. The Inherited Release Method (IRM) works directly with the energetic body and field to release these inherited traumas, lifting the unseen weight that may have been carried for generations.
As a practitioner of IRM, you’re not just learning a healing technique, you’re stepping into the role of a guide and facilitator of deep transformation. This method equips you with the tools to help others release inherited patterns, break generational cycles, and reclaim their energy, opening the path to greater clarity, balance, and freedom.
TESTIMONIALS
-
Doing IRM has been a beautiful journey of gently learning a blended modality that really gets to the point of the core issues individuals have and may have had their entire lives and is a powerful healing tool that takes these issues and works through them at a physical and energetic level. Liz is such an amazing and inspirational woman and teacher, her gentle calming energy makes the learning space feel very safe and encouraging. Unlike many training courses you are not just a number in IRM, Liz works with each practitioner to ensure they understand the practice and that each of the practitioners leave the course confident and competent.

I've just completed the foundational IRM training and feel really grateful to Liz for creating a method that combines some of the most interesting and effective therapies to release trauma, tension and emotions stored within the body. The applied Kinesiology or muscle testing component of the training is a really invaluable tool to assist in diagnosing before any bodywork begins. The IRM method is a well-rounded and readily applied blend of her training, knowledge and experience. I love that IRM allows the freedom and flexibility to work online as well as treat groups of people at a time. I feel more confident to perform bodywork and energetic healing sessions after completing the training and am looking forward to offering this healing modality

It fills me with so much joy to complete the in-person training, Inherited Release Method by Liz Brown. I did not have any experience with this type of work before and Liz helped to make me feel comfortable at all times. She is an excellent teacher and mentor and helped me to feel confident in the development of my skills. Liz is supportive not only throughout the training but afterwards too. I will recommend this training to all who want to help people to release ancestral trauma and hold space for them to heal. Thank you so much Liz from the bottom of my heart.

The Inherited Release Method recognizes that many physical and emotional symptoms stem from “stuck” emotions and energetic blocks within the body and subconscious mind. These blockages can arise at any point in our lives, even before birth, and are often passed down through generations, carrying the traumas and experiences of our ancestors.
Using muscle testing (kinesiology) as a gateway to the subconscious, the Inherited Release Method allows individuals to access their deep reservoir of inner knowledge. This process helps identify and release trapped emotions, beliefs, and energetic blocks, paving the way for efficient and profound healing.
Rooted in the principles of energy medicine and supported by scientific research, the Inherited Release Method draws from a wide range of healing traditions across the world. It honors and integrates the wisdom of these traditions, recognizing that true healing encompasses the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and soul aspects of our being.
A key feature of the Inherited Release Method is its approach to Kundalini awakening. Unlike traditional practices that focus on activating Kundalini energy from the base of the spine upwards, this method encourages a more natural and gradual awakening. Energy is guided from the crown downward, ensuring a balanced and grounded experience that harmonizes spiritual awakening with physical and emotional healing.
The method also emphasizes staying connected to the body and the physical world, fostering a sense of groundedness even during profound spiritual shifts. It supports individuals in cultivating deep self-awareness, enhancing intuition, and making life choices that align with their well-being and true purpose.
Through a combination of gentle physical contact, energy transmission, and self-awareness practices, the Inherited Release Method activates the body’s innate healing mechanisms. This process facilitates a powerful release of tension, resistance, and stored traumas, promoting a natural flow of energy throughout the body and enhancing holistic healing.
In essence, the Inherited Release Method offers a holistic path to well-being, guiding individuals on a journey of healing and transformation that honors the wisdom of the body and the power of the energy that connects us all.

Energy is guided from the crown downward, ensuring a balanced and grounded experience that integrates spiritual awakening with physical and emotional healing.
This method also emphasizes the importance of staying connected to one's body and the physical world, fostering a sense of groundedness even as profound spiritual shifts occur.

IRM PRACTITIONER 2024
As a psychologist and psychosomatic trauma therapist I am discerning about the training I select to improve my trauma intervention skills when working with the complexity and intensity of trauma.
Being a proponent of both scientific and natural approaches to mind body wellness, IRM Inherited Release Method, did not disappoint. I was impressed with the integration of evidence based theory and holistic information, and the somatic, and transpersonal practical application to clients.
The creator and instructor of IRM Elizabeth Brown, was clear, concise and adept at explaining and demonstrating the IRM process. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to integrate and utilize IRM skills to access and activate the client's innate body wisdom to release withheld trauma and bring about effective resolution to 'issues in the tissues' that client's had been troubled with for a long time.
IRM takes a Mind-Body Medicine approach, recognising the link between mind- body-spirit as the pathway to maintaining spiritual, physical, emotional and mental health and wellness. IRM is a trauma-informed effective platform to do this. I felt totally supported throughout the training and loved Elizabeth's genuine, patient, supportive approach. I also loved the learning environment and appreciated that student numbers were contained to maximize our learning and give us concentrated support. I would recommend IRM to any serious practitioner wanting to work at a deeper level of trauma intervention.

Today, I’m not just sharing a method - I’m opening up a piece of my story. For more than 20 years, I’ve lived with the weight of inherited pain, feeling how deeply it etched itself into my body, my choices, and my sense of self. I know what it’s like to carry what isn’t yours. And I also know what it’s like to finally let it go.
I’ve learned that true healing isn’t just about fixing symptoms - it’s about remembering who you are beneath the patterns, and reclaiming the parts of you that were never truly broken. I believe in the body’s wisdom, in its ability to guide us back to ourselves, and in the power of working with mind, body, and spirit as one.
Through years of hands-on work with clients around the world, I’ve witnessed how somatic and ancestral healing can shift not just the individual, but the lineage. That’s what the Inherited Release Method is about. This isn’t just training - it’s a call to those who know there’s something deeper, and are ready to meet it.
If you're ready to do the work - for yourself, your lineage, and the people you serve - I welcome you to be part of this. When we heal what came before us, we create something new for everyone who follows.
