Carole Osborne has focused her bodywork career on maternity and somato-emotional applications of somatic therapy. In 2008 the AMTA Council of Schools named Carole the National Teacher of the Year, a high point of 35 years as a somatic arts and sciences educator. In addition to private practice, she has worked in osteopathic, psychological, and women's medical settings primarily in San Diego, CA.
Her earliest bodywork studies were with the Arica Institute, Milton Trager, Tai chi Master Abraham Liu, and in an apprenticeship with Edward Maupin, Ph.D. learning the structural approach of Ida P. Rolf. As her work has matured, she has developed a unique form of rhythmic deep tissue sculpting and begun incorporating osteopathic and neuromuscular soft tissue therapies. Carole co-founded the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB), in San Diego, in 1977, where she continues to teach. She was an original faculty member at Big Sky Somatic Institute, Helena, Montana. She has taught throughout North America and in Europe.
In 1980 she began collaborating with perinatal professionals and colleagues in researching and developing infant and maternity massage therapy protocols and instructional programs. She pioneered the reintroduction of therapeutic massage and bodywork to healthcare for the childbearing year. Over the years she has trained parents, hospital association staffs, spa and resort staffs, and over 4000 maternity massage therapists.
Carole has written two textbooks, Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy and Deep Tissue Sculpting, and her articles appear in many professional and mainstream publications. She was a major contributor to Teaching Massage. She provided consultation on several videos, and for other prenatal and infant massage media items and curricula at massage therapy schools. Penny Simkin and Phyllis Klaus' groundbreaking book on pregnancy and sexual abuse survivors includes Carole's input on bodywork with pregnant survivors. She was a representative to the 1999 Massage Research Agenda Workgroup for the Massage Therapy Research Foundation, providing input to the Foundation's 10-year research agenda.
