Moving to Higher Ground is a unique clinical mentorship program led by Kim Barthel, OTR, and supported by a team of co-facilitators. Kim has been leading MTHGs worldwide since 2001, offering a holistic, trans-disciplinary, neurobiology-informed, strength-based and relationship-focused approach.
Hosted by Linda Collier, OTR & Hannah Edwards, OTR, MTHG in Bali fulfils their long-time dream of offering ‘retreat-style training’ in beautiful Bali. With 15+ trips to Bali between them, they have built strong relationships with locals and the onsite school where the treatment labs will take place. Linda and Hannah truly believe that deep connection fosters the most profound learning, best achieved away from the distractions of daily life.
Moving to Higher Ground focuses on personal growth, aiming to bring out the best in therapists. The program includes clinical mentorship, incorporating cutting-edge interventions through lectures, group discussions, and hands-on experiential learning. Participants will engage in treatment labs, observe demonstrations, interact with children, and discuss treatments with video analysis.
What sets MTHG apart is its emphasis on personal growth, where deep self-awareness and professional collaboration will be encouraged, supported by a beautiful retreat environment,
Before arriving in Bali, each participant completes a comprehensive self-assessment questionnaire, allowing them to contribute to designing and taking responsibility for their own professional and personal development.
