To all friends, alumni, and students of LBDC, 

In creating the first teacher training course in 1992, I embarked on a journey where my vision was to share my knowledge and passion for teaching. Inspiring others to seek out continual learning with the desire to be the best. 

My commitment and insistency to excellence has taken me 20 years down the path. 

In these years, I have had the opportunity to connect and learn with the best. These experiences have allowed me to crosslink science and apply a renewed appreciation of inner movement as support and foundation of the body. 

This knowledge and technique forms an integrated component of our student teaching approach, which also encourages critical thinking. 

While this body of work is never finished, I am currently dividing my time between program development, study, and teaching internationally.

To keep LBDC’s education program to its high standards and keeping it continually updated, it will take a fresh approach and a dedicated individual who shares my standards and vision. 

I am very proud to announce that I have found this person in Kendel Pink. 

The confidence and respect I foster for Kendel makes a very difficult task of separation easier as I pass the LBDC legacy to Kendel and thereby entrust her with my life’s work. 

The LBDC content and curriculum will grow under her strong leadership while maintaining the existing faculty that is synonymous with the LBDC name and reputation. I will still be very much involved with the development of updates, the Core Intelligence portion included in the teacher training and the test out protocol of the course. 

To all LBDC alumni, students of LBDC and friends, thank you for your trust and confidence in giving me the opportunity to support you in the past. As for the future, please stay connected so I may share my new educational information with you and please help me welcome Kendel in this endeavor. 

With Warmest Regards, 

Marie-Jose Blom
