Meet Gil
I started out my adult learning journey at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, studying for my MA in the study of Religion and my Ph.D. in Theological Ethics after earning a BA in Religious studies at Duke University. During that time, I also became a Certified Rolfer and spent five years studying psychodynamics and energy healing in NYC; I have been an avid student of personal and spiritual development my whole life.
My combined interests and training has supported my personal exploration of the human body and led me to develop an integral approach to the study of human anatomy.
Since 1995, I have led thousands of hours of Hands-On Human Dissection Workshops in the laboratory. Through this in-person work, as well as keynote presentations and online programs and video courses, I have encouraged a great many fellow "somanauts" to appreciate, explore, and embody the wonders of the human form.
Join a thriving community of somanauts
Whether you are a massage therapist, Rolfer, chiropractor, Pilates teacher ~ or simply a human inspired to connect more deeply to your body, Gil's work and courses are designed to cultivate a deeper experience and appreciation of the human form on the part of all who share an interest in the gift of the human body.

"Working with, being in the presence of, and learning from Gil Hedley should be a bucket list item for every human on the planet.
There are no words or combination of phrases that could possibly describe the experience.
All I can say is, just do it!"
Jonathan P.
"I have repeatedly described all of my experiences with attending a Gil event as "the closest I will ever get to being in a room with Leonardo Davinci". Seeing the process, getting some of the most amazing looks at human anatomy, feeling the reverence for the human body that Gil presents always deepens my understanding of the human beings I work with."
Tricia R.
"Gil has given me so much understanding of and curiosity about human anatomy. I had trepidation seeing dissections, and Gil treats his subjects with such reverence and respect that I never felt anything but awe and appreciation.
I look forward to learning more!"

"For a number of years as a Rehabilitative Massage Therapist, I had been coming to the conclusion that the nervous system is the chief player in achieving recovery from injuries and loss of range of motion. Gil's Nerve Tour presentation filled in gaps and pulled it altogether for me.
I joined his gilhedley.com website and watched about another 150 hours of dissections. It was the best continuing education that I have experienced.
I have taken my practice to a whole new level."
Vida H.
"I have absolutely LOVED every course I've done with Gil. He knows how to spot each participant's curiosity and nurtures our explorations with genuine joy and an endless curiosity of his own.
Can't wait for my next lab course with Gil!"
Debbie R.
"Traveling to the interior of my body with Gil is the gift I will continue to give to myself.
Whether I am in his Somanaut lab, at a special tour event, or watching a taped presentation, I am always transported to a somatic sensation of being alive not matched by any lived experience.
Gil's sacred transmission of a life lived in the gift of a body is a most magical experience that reminds me I am a part of the All That Is and nested and connected with the universe."
