Pre-Natal or Pregnancy Massage

6 Continuing Education Units

Prenatal massage shares many of the goals of regular massage — to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But it's also tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists who are trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.

Beginning Cupping

6 Continuing Education Units

A deep tissue technique that really enhances circulation brings out toxins from deep within the tissues of the body.  It is a technique that is able to influence tissues as much as 4 inches under the skin or more.  This technique can release many of the toxins like cigarette smoke, alcohol, and anesthesia from surgeries even those long past.  We have often found puffs of gas when removing the cups and releasing it from the body. You will find it takes only a day to master the basics of cupping and will be able to add it to your menu of services.
