These language patterns, based on the work of Milton Erickson, Dawna Markova, and the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, have been molded to best fit the needs of bodyworkers and healers.

Supportive learning aids are available. The shift of that relationship often brings deep release of holding patterns in the myofascial system as well as a very deep relaxation.

This course brings greater depth and effectiveness to the art of massage therapy. This technique is a graceful balance of logic and intuition that most clients can easily understand. Powerful and responsive to the client, this technique can be used in any bodywork or process oriented sessions, or may be used as a complete, stand-alone facilitation.
