Introduction to Reflexology- Intensive! 32 CE Hours for Massage; open to non-bodyworkers

Reflexology is the study, science and art of using various touch techniques on specific points of the feet, hands and ears to promote a deep sense of relaxation and to support the natural healing properties of the body. It is based upon the premise that these reflex points correspond to organs and glands in the body and, when stimulated, produce therapeutic results throughout the body. Through lectures, reading assignments, demonstrations, and practice, students will learn basic information about Reflexology and its history, and the techniques of finger- and thumb-walking. Upon completion of this introductory training course, students are able to practice Reflexology on the feet of family and friends.

Ten Zo - 7 CE Hours for massage
 Ten Zo translates to three heavens.  The three heavens are Thai massage, Shiatsu and Swedish Massage.  For clients who are uncomfortable removing their clothes for a massage treatment, or who cannot get down on the floor to receive a shiatsu treatment on a futon, Ten Zo is the answer.  Ten Zo is a treatment given to a fully-clothed client on a massage table.  It uses Western concepts such as a knowledge of anatomy, the ability to palpate muscle tension, and  techniques from massage therapy.  The Eastern concepts of qi/ki kyo and jitsu are incorporated along with techniques from shiatsu.  To elongate muscles, stretches for the arms, legs and back from Thai massage complete the treatment.

 

Due to the nature of the stretches used, loose-fitting pants (elastic waist or drawstring) and a loose-fitting top are necessary. A comprehensive, easy-to-follow workbook accompanies this workshop.   Held from 9 - 5 $130
