Practitioner's Training

Functional Vision Integrative Body Practitioner’s Training


I began my professional career not knowing the depth and direction I would explore. Instead of taking the conventional route, which many others had already taken, I chose the road less traveled—kind of par for my course—my sense of normal being different from anyone else’s.

The patients who called me were parents who had children with special needs, traumatic-brain injured people, and regular folks who had lost hope and were looking for answers outside the box. So, I found solutions for patients in this diverse community.

Fast-forward 40 years, and the method I invented engages many different disciplines. The eye is in the center, and the spokes of the wheel emanate outward in many directions. Thus, the Functional Vision Integrative Body Method was born.

Contact me if you feel called to join our community and become a practitioner. The training is life-changing but requires commitment, curiosity, and a personal challenge of learning and growing. FYI, you don’t need to be an eye doctor to take the training, in fact this program will enhance your practice no matter what type of health professsion you are in.

Join Dr. Berne’s Functional Vision Integrative Body (FVIB)TM

Functional Vision Integrative BodyTM

The Functional Vision Integrative BodyTM is a certification program that empowers practitioners to be able to educate clients on enhancing their functional vision through a holistic approach that integrates vision with vestibular, postural and body awareness, brain/learning processing, lymphatic stimulation practices, Dr. Berne’s bodywork method, Dr. Berne’s color therapy method, and Dr. Berne’s nutritional protocols.
In this level one, six-module training, participants will learn how to evaluate functional vision without diagnosing or treating eye conditions. Instead, the focus is on educating clients to improve their eyesight/vision and overall performance and wellness.
By the end of the certification course, participants will be able to create personalized programs that empower their clients to achieve enhanced vision and overall well-being, all while staying within the scope of educating rather than diagnosing or treating.
