Classes
Freeing the Power to Heal:
The Foundation Workshop
In this class, we begin to recognize and release what stands between
us and full access to healing for ourselves and those around us.
We distinguish between our automatic defense mechanisms that we
have previously thought of as our Selves, and the authentic Self
from which everything unfolds naturally, with grace and ease.
Energetic Alignment
In this class students discover physical ease in their body while
supporting the energetic alignment with ground and center for themselves
and the client. Students are encouraged to notice the direct
correlation between proper body mechanics and the increasing effectiveness
of massage and bodywork.
Energetic Rapport
This course teaches skills for extending to clients a sacred yet
practical space that meets them where they are and supports their
healing.
Energy In Action
Students discover how their systems recognize energy. This class
teaches specific holds, and students experiment with additional
hand placements. Students are supported in the experience of centering
and alignment, optimizing energy flow. They also explore dynamics
of intuition and energy in relation to massage therapy.
Essential Oils/Aromatherapy:
Raindrop Technique
Students learn a powerful, non-invasive tool for bringing
structural and electrical alignment to the body through the power
of essential oils.
Transformational Bodywork
This class is designed to support the student in discovering a
whole new realm of bodywork which allows transformation for both
the client and therapist. Students become aware that the more
ease/peace they experience while giving massage, the greater the
difference for the client.
Visions
Students have the opportunity to discover their authentic Self
and reveal a commitment which supports continued transformation
for themselves and those around them.
Documented Individual
Bodywork Sessions
Students receive feedback from the 7 hours of documented bodywork
sessions that they give independent of classroom hours. They practice
the various techniques learned during the program and gain confidence
in the skills acquired. Staff will review documentation of the bodywork
sessions and provide feedback to students.
Instructor Feedback
Students give a total of 5 bodywork sessions to one or more staff
members in order to receive specific feedback regarding what they
are learning during the Transformational Bodywork Course. These
5 sessions will occur throughout the Course.
Schedules
and Curriculum Hours
