Review 2022 – Preview 2023

Dear EFDMA members,

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

We want to thank you for your support as a member. Especially in times like these, we particularly appreciate that you support the work of the EFDMA as a Non-Profit Association with your membership fee and thus keep the spread and spirit of FDM and the Typaldos method alive.

Let’s look back on the year 2022 together and look forward to next year:

FDM training:

In 2022 there was one FDM IC exam  (Hannover, Germany). We congratulate the 2 new FDM IC therapists once again.

The next FDM IC exam is scheduled for May 8th, 2023 and September 14th, 2023 Goldegg (near Salzburg ,AUT). Details here: FDM IC 2023

From May 10th to 11th, 2022 the 10th Synod of FDM Instructors took place. This time in Hanover (GER).

The Synod is composed of all, after high standards going back to Dr. Typaldos, certified Instructors, who in turn are allowed to teach according to a curriculum set by the EFDMA.

The Synod is responsible for the training regulations of the EFDMA and creates the curriculum for the FDM training.

Many thanks to all FDM Instructors for carrying out the FDM doctrine and method into the world!

FDM Connect
FDM Connect was created to push the network of FDM therapists on a regional level, to promote exchange among each other and to spread the FDM spirit locally. In the meantime there are a few FDM Connect chat groups, regular meetings in the form of round tables and Workgroups and the international FDM Connect LIVE meeting. The aim of FDM Connect LIVE is that the meetings take place across Europe in groups, at the same time. There were two LIVE meetings 2022, on May 7th and on November 5th . For photo/video reviews click on the dates, or go to the EFDMA website: FDM events

For FDM Connect we need motivated members, who organize these meetings in their region. So we want to say “THANK YOU” to all these members for their efforts and energy they use for bringing people together & spread the spirit of FDM!
