The Inherited Release Method is a trauma-informed, body-led healing approach designed to uncover and release the emotional, energetic, and ancestral imprints stored deep within the body.
Whether you're here to focus on your own healing or feel called to support others, this method offers a clear, grounded path to help you let go of what was never truly yours to carry. It works with the body’s innate intelligence, using muscle testing, energetic mapping, and intuitive techniques to shift inherited patterns and reconnect with your true self beneath the conditioning, pain, and survival strategies.
This is more than a healing modality. It’s a reclamation of self, lineage, and the freedom to live unburdened.
Learn how to work with inherited trauma, the nervous system, and the body’s energy field in a clear, grounded, and trauma-aware way. The Inherited Release Method combines somatic tools, energy healing, kinesiology, and ancestral awareness to help people release what was never theirs to carry.
The Inherited Release Method (IRM) is a body-based energy healing modality that draws from Reiki, Kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and energetic anatomy. It works with the spine, meridians, and the ancestral field to access deeper layers of stored trauma and inherited patterning.
What makes IRM unique is its ability to help you recognise whether what you’re feeling is yours, or something that’s been passed down emotionally, energetically, or through your family line. Many of the patterns we carry didn’t begin with us. They were absorbed through generations of unprocessed trauma, survival strategies, and emotional suppression. IRM helps bring those imprints to the surface so the body can finally let them go.
This method doesn’t just address surface symptoms. It works through the body’s energetic layers and subtle systems to support release at the root. As these inherited patterns begin to shift, the flow of life force energy strengthens, reconnecting you with your intuition, your presence, and your core self. For many, this work marks the beginning of a transition from 3D survival mode into 5D awareness, this is where the body, soul, and ancestral memory all begin to align.
IRM is both practical and spiritual. It’s a return to what your body already knows, and a powerful step in ending cycles that were never meant to be carried any further.

This is trauma work, lineage work, energy work, all woven together through grounded technique and lived experience.

Identify and Clear Inherited Emotional Patterns
Our ancestors pass down more than DNA. They pass down emotional pain, belief systems, coping strategies, and energetic imprints that quietly shape how we live, relate, and respond. These patterns can run deep — often showing up as anxiety, chronic tension, disconnection, or behaviours that feel out of place in our own story.
The Inherited Release Method (IRM) works directly with the energetic body to identify and clear these inherited emotional patterns. Through kinesiology, subtle body awareness, and trauma-informed care, this method helps lift the weight of what’s been carried — sometimes for generations.
As a certified IRM practitioner, you’re not just learning a technique. You’re stepping into the role of someone who can track, witness, and release what lives beneath the surface. You’ll be equipped to help others break generational cycles, reclaim their energy, and move forward with greater clarity and connection to self.
TESTIMONIALS

Doing IRM has been a beautiful journey of gently learning a blended modality that really gets to the point of the core issues individuals have and may have had their entire lives and is a powerful healing tool that takes these issues and works through them at a physical and energetic level. Liz is such an amazing and inspirational woman and teacher, her gentle calming energy makes the learning space feel very safe and encouraging. Unlike many training courses you are not just a number in IRM, Liz works with each practitioner to ensure they understand the practice and that each of the practitioners leave the course confident and competent.

I've just completed the foundational IRM training and feel really grateful to Liz for creating a method that combines some of the most interesting and effective therapies to release trauma, tension and emotions stored within the body. The applied Kinesiology or muscle testing component of the training is a really invaluable tool to assist in diagnosing before any bodywork begins. The IRM method is a well-rounded and readily applied blend of her training, knowledge and experience. I love that IRM allows the freedom and flexibility to work online as well as treat groups of people at a time. I feel more confident to perform bodywork and energetic healing sessions after completing the training and am looking forward to offering this healing modality

It fills me with so much joy to complete the in-person training, Inherited Release Method by Liz Brown. I did not have any experience with this type of work before and Liz helped to make me feel comfortable at all times. She is an excellent teacher and mentor and helped me to feel confident in the development of my skills. Liz is supportive not only throughout the training but afterwards too. I will recommend this training to all who want to help people to release ancestral trauma and hold space for them to heal. Thank you so much Liz from the bottom of my heart.

IRM PRACTITIONER 2024
As a psychologist and psychosomatic trauma therapist I am discerning about the training I select to improve my trauma intervention skills when working with the complexity and intensity of trauma.
Being a proponent of both scientific and natural approaches to mind body wellness, IRM Inherited Release Method, did not disappoint. I was impressed with the integration of evidence based theory and holistic information, and the somatic, and transpersonal practical application to clients.
The creator and instructor of IRM Elizabeth Brown, was clear, concise and adept at explaining and demonstrating the IRM process. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to integrate and utilize IRM skills to access and activate the client's innate body wisdom to release withheld trauma and bring about effective resolution to 'issues in the tissues' that client's had been troubled with for a long time.
IRM takes a Mind-Body Medicine approach, recognising the link between mind- body-spirit as the pathway to maintaining spiritual, physical, emotional and mental health and wellness. IRM is a trauma-informed effective platform to do this. I felt totally supported throughout the training and loved Elizabeth's genuine, patient, supportive approach. I also loved the learning environment and appreciated that student numbers were contained to maximize our learning and give us concentrated support. I would recommend IRM to any serious practitioner wanting to work at a deeper level of trauma intervention.
Elizabeth Brown
Somatic Trauma Healer | Embodiment Teacher | Founder of the Inherited Release Method
Today, I’m not just sharing a method. I’m sharing part of my story.
For more than 20 years, I lived with the weight of inherited pain, feeling how deeply it shaped my body, my choices, and my sense of self. I know what it’s like to carry something that was never truly yours. And I know what it takes to finally let it go.
Healing, for me, hasn’t been about fixing symptoms. It’s been about remembering who I am beneath the layers. It’s about reclaiming what was always mine and releasing what never belonged. I trust the body’s wisdom, its ability to lead us back to truth when we stop overriding it.
Through years of hands-on work with clients across the world, I’ve seen how somatic and ancestral healing can shift not just the individual but the entire lineage. That’s what the Inherited Release Method is built on. It’s not just a modality. It’s for those who know there’s more to healing than what we’ve been told and are ready to meet it fully.
If you’re ready to do the work, for yourself, your family line, and those you serve, I welcome you into this space. When we heal what came before us, we change everything that comes next.
