Bilateral Nasal Specific
Technique Training
A hands-on clinical weekend for licensed practitioners ready to experience a powerful structural intervention firsthand — and earn 12 CE credits with the AANP.
Early bird: $2,000 — price increases to $2,200 after September 4. Registration closes October 1.
Your current toolkit
gets them most of the way there
If you're regularly seeing patients with chronic nasal congestion, mouth breathing, recurring sinus or ear infections, post-concussive symptoms that won't fully resolve, or sleep disruption that doesn't respond to soft-tissue work — there's likely a structural component involved that most practitioners have never been trained to address.
Most patients in these presentations have been offered the same antihistamine cycle for years. BNS addresses the structure underneath that cycle. The nasal turbinates, the sphenoid bone, the drainage pathways of the cranial vault — when these structures are compressed or misaligned, herbs, supplements, and soft-tissue work can only get so far.
Read the evidence.
Before the weekend.
Download the BNS Clinical Analysis Brief — a practitioner-facing overview of the mechanism, historical lineage, clinical indications, procedural approach, and safety protocols behind the technique you'll be experiencing. A solid foundation before you arrive.
You won't just observe.
You'll receive the treatment.
This seminar is built around direct experience. Dr. Grover and her practitioner will demonstrate and perform live BNS adjustments on attendees throughout the weekend — so you feel the technique firsthand before you ever consider offering it in your own practice. Understanding BNS as a patient changes how you understand it as a clinician.
Alongside the hands-on sessions, you'll cover the cranial anatomy, clinical rationale, patient selection, and safety protocols that make BNS one of the most precise structural interventions in integrative medicine.
Cranial anatomy & mechanism
Sphenoid mechanics, turbinate function, CSF drainage pathways, and why structural compression creates the symptoms you're already treating.
Live demonstration & adjustment
Dr. Grover and her practitioner perform BNS on attendees. You experience the adjustment directly — not as a simulation, as a clinical treatment.
Patient selection
Who benefits most, how to identify structural candidates in your caseload, and how to explain the procedure in terms patients trust.
Treatment sequencing
Balloon progression, session frequency, what to track between visits, and how BNS integrates with your existing protocols.
Contraindications & safety
Absolute and relative contraindications, intake screening, and how to manage the range of patient responses.
12 AANP CE Credits
Full CE credit applied through the AANP accreditation process across the three-day classroom and hands-on format.
Built for licensed practitioners
already working root-cause
This seminar is designed for clinicians who are philosophically aligned with structural and integrative medicine and ready to experience a hands-on cranial technique firsthand. You don't need prior BNS experience — you need a solid clinical foundation and a genuine curiosity about what structural medicine can reach that other modalities can't.
What patients notice
before they leave the office
These responses are drawn from post-treatment surveys completed by patients immediately after their first BNS adjustment — in their own words, unedited.
"Before my adjustment I was just getting over a cold so my nose was still stuffy, but now breathing is more relaxed and easier. Also before treatment my head was hurting — but now that is gone."
"Before the adjustment I felt some slight blockage, and afterward I felt completely clear."
"Before the adjustment I felt like I could only get minimal air through one nostril, and afterward I was breathing deeper and more fully. I also noticed that my mind seemed a bit clearer. I was able to nose breathe more often rather than mouth breathe."
"I knew I had sinus blockage but I had no idea how much and how quickly it could clear."
"Even though my nose was running like crazy, I could actually breathe better through my nose — which is a huge start."
"Before the adjustment my jaw crackled when I opened my mouth wide, and my right knee was level 7–8 painful every time I squatted. After the adjustment, BOTH my jaw crackling and knee pain are reduced by 90%. I keep expecting a crackle when I yawn — but it doesn't happen."
Three days.
Thoughtfully structured.
Friday is your arrival day — a shorter afternoon session to settle in, meet the cohort, and get grounded in the clinical framework. Saturday is the full immersion day. Sunday wraps with refinement, questions, and CE completion. Final schedule confirmed upon registration.
Welcome & Introductions Classroom
Meet Dr. Grover, her practitioner, and your cohort. Overview of the weekend structure and what to expect.
The Clinical Rationale for BNS Classroom
Why structure governs function. The cranial tensegrity model, the sphenoid keystone, and the patient populations who benefit most.
First Live Demonstration & Adjustments Hands-On
Dr. Grover and her practitioner perform live BNS on the first round of attendees. You experience the adjustment firsthand. Coffee, tea, and water provided throughout.
Debrief & Open Discussion
Process the first experience together. Questions, observations, and clinical context for what just happened in your body.
Anatomy & Clinical Deep Dive Classroom
Cranial sutures, CSF hydrodynamics, the sphenoid-palatine latch, and the eight-point tender examination. Clinical intake and contraindication screening.
Full Cohort Adjustments Hands-On
Dr. Grover and her practitioner continue BNS treatments with remaining attendees. Real-time clinical commentary throughout — observation and discussion woven in.
Lunch Break Included
Lunch provided. Time to decompress, connect with the cohort, and process the morning's sessions.
Contraindications, Safety & Integration Classroom
Absolute and relative contraindications. Post-treatment care. How to integrate BNS into existing treatment plans and introduce it to patients.
Open Clinical Q&A Classroom
Bring your complex cases, clinical questions, and skepticism. This is the room for it.
Follow-Up Adjustments Hands-On
Second round of BNS for attendees who opt in. Observe how the body responds differently on day three. Discussion of multi-session progressions.
Bringing BNS Into Your Practice Classroom
Patient communication, documentation, referral pathways, and how to identify your first BNS candidates in your existing caseload.
CE Completion & Close CE Credits
Final CE documentation, certificate distribution, and close. 12 AANP CE credits applied.

Dr. Mikailah Grover, ND
I'm a naturopathic physician practicing in Battle Ground, WA, where I specialize in root-cause medicine for chronic and complex cases. I trained at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, and I've spent the years since building a practice around techniques that actually move the needle — including over 1,000 BNS treatments in active clinical use.
What drew me to BNS was simple: I kept seeing patients for whom everything else was helping, but not quite enough. Once I understood the cranial structural picture, the gap made sense — and BNS filled it. This seminar exists because I genuinely believe this technique belongs in more clinical hands.
