Welcome to The International Metamorphosis Association training Programme
Metamorphosis-rsj, formerly known as Prenatal Therapy, is a gentle, non-directive approach, founded by Robert St John. It works with the Prenatal Pattern reflexes of the feet, hands, and head. Practitioners report that this work may help individuals release inherited inhibitions, increase self-awareness, and experience positive change.
The International Metamorphosis Association provides information about the method, offers a Home Study Programme with tutor support, and connects you with trained practitioners. Whether you seek sessions for personal growth or professional training, you will find guidance here.
- Our association founded with the permission and involvement of the late Donna Armanasco, who was the holder of the copyright, ensures the teaching we share is the authentic work.
We are dedicated to preserving and sharing the teachings of the Prenatal Pattern known as Metamorphosis-rsj. Our association supports learners and practitioners worldwide in maintaining the integrity and vision of Robert St John’s work. We aim to foster a community focused on self-awareness, healing, and personal transformation.
Practitioners’
Every practitioner listed has completed training with the International Metamorphosis Association and works to a shared code of conduct. A typical session lasts around an hour, is fully clothed, and involves a light touch on the feet, hands, and head — there is no manipulation, no diagnosis, and no advice given. Sessions suit adults, children, and babies alike. Use the directory to find a practitioner in your country or region, and contact them directly to book.
