This class is all about freeing up the scapula and shoulder. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and is often one of the most restricted joints in modern day society. This class is aimed to address that ongoing problem and help people feel the freedom that the shoulder joint and scapular can provide the upper extremity when they are not tight and working together. Here we will learn how to treat the upper extremity like a wing with the scapula being the foundation. Using the techniques and approaches from this class you will be able to open up your client’s shoulders and provide space in ways they didn’t think they had.

This class is focused fully on providing great quality massage work to the neck without using the fingers. In today’s cultures so many people are coming in for focused massage work to their neck. This type of massage is usually taught using lots of techniques that are very heavy on the fingers. If you have 10 clients each week that come in with the request of focused neck work it can do a number on the fingers and hands. In this class we will explore many different ways and techniques that can approach neck focused massage without heavy use of the fingers.

The hips are one of the most diverse joints in our body, with the capability of extreme ranges of motion. Without anything getting in the way the ball & socket joint has the potential to move 360 degrees around. This class will explore that idea by working on the hips/thighs in many different angles & positions to maximize the impact of your work. You will learn to meet restrictions & limitations where they are so you can challenge the hips to open up a bit more. By releasing the hips we can create a large impact on the rest of the body. With how much we all sit in today’s society these techniques will help your clients feel more mobile, balanced, and ready to take on whatever their week has in store for them.

Learn how to give a massage that is truly and organically guided by the needs of your client's body. All the information and techniques in the world can allow for great tools for healing, however, it is the body that knows what it needs if we listen deep enough to what is happening below the surface. Learn how to listen to the body so deeply that it allows you to get out of the way of the treatment, mentally, and truly become the tools used for healing, physically, that your client needs.

Multidimensional Intuitive Touch is a much slower and deeper type of massage stemming from the connections made through deep listening and movement of the client’s body. This allows the client to open up in ways that are not possible in a conventional treatment session. Multidimensional Intuitive Touch has several profound effects on the human body. It down regulates the nervous systems, bringing the clients mind and body into a relaxed state, It decreases muscle tension and spasm, It increases the range of motion in the joints, and introduces new neural-motor and neural-emotional patterns by unwinding from old patterns held onto by the body.
