Developing an Extraordinary Quality of Touch

We are, first and foremost, touchers, maybe even the last true touching profession, so we should have both an incredible sense of touch as well as a very high quality of touch. In this course you will focus on developing a truly extraordinary sense-of-touch as well as a quality of touch that is completely unique to you as an individual and as a practitioner. You will learn how the body and nervous system experience different types of touch.You will learn several different deep-touch and soft-touch techniques that will elevate your massage to an entire new level.

Learn how to integrate the most profound and dynamic aspects of Thai Massage stretching into your personal massage practice and style. In this series you will learn how to incorporate the best Thai Massage Stretching and Compression Techniques into your floor work, table massage and even your chair massage.

These techniques will allow you to offer your clients an amazing number of powerful new treatment possibilities with less physical effort by you and with less wear and tear on your body.

Dyamic Cupping Methods

Learn the modern-day techniques (and expected outcomes) of Dynamic Cupping with Silicone Cups. The vacuum created by the cups increases blood and lymphatic circulation systemically and locally, relaxes muscle and connective tissue, draws out “stagnation”, pathogenic factors and toxins from the tissues, and releases a myriad of pain-causing factors. Silicone cups come in many different sizes, and they easily change shape, making for an amazing array of places these cups can fit and be used on the body. You can read more about how I approach cupping here. 

Hot Stone and IASTM

As massage therapists, most of us are familiar with the relaxation and therapeutic value provided by hot stones. However, we might not be as familiar with the therapeutic value of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) which is most often used in physical therapy or Eastern treatment modalities. With IASTM you use specialized instruments in place of your hands. Both hot stones and IASTM tools allow more direct treatment of the soft tissues involved with movement, with less wear and tear on you. 

Massage Business Mastery

This is a very high-level massage business development and branding class intended for entrepreneurial massage therapists that want to build a thriving and sustainable massage practice (without discounting, having to post incessantly on social media platforms, or bothering your current or past clients with annoying and irrelevant emails).

Use Your Words: An Ethics Workshop

This workshop is about developing your own personal, working ethical framework for your massage practice and being able to easily talk about that framework with your clients.  Professional & Personal Boundaries, Mutually Informed Consent, Power Differential Dynamics, Clear, Professional and Non-Shaming Communication, Mutual Responsibility.

Mastering The Intake Process

The intake process for massage clients is one of the most important ingredients to providing them with the best possible experience and outcomes. In this workshop, I will teach you how to create an intake form that asks every question that you are required to ask, want to ask, and have probably not even thought about asking until now. Then I will teach you how to use your client's written intake to dive even deeper into the questions that they have answered so you can start your massage with more information about your clients’ needs, wants, and desired outcomes than ever before.

Compassion Fatigue: Understanding, Avoiding &Treating

Compassion fatigue is a condition characterized by emotional and physical exhaustion leading to a diminished ability to empathize or feel compassion for others, often described as the negative cost of caring. It is primarily “diagnosed” in first responders, health care providers, social service workers etc. So that relates directly to us as caregivers. In addition, I feel that many of our clients who are not in these roles professionally are experiencing very similar issues, especially in the last several years. In this class, I will help you understand how to recognize the symptoms of compassion fatigue in yourself, your co-workers, and your clients. I will also give you a chest full of resources that you can use and/or offer to others.
