Students will learn several different blending techniques to enable them to use aromatherapy immediately in their massage practice or at home for private use. Students will create two different aromatherapy oil blends for their personal use from approximately seventy different oils available. In this second stage of training, the basic techniques are taken to a deeper understanding where students are taught to observe subtle resistance and patterns in the membrane system. Students are taught alternate holds for each cranial bone, holds for facial bones and oral work. An introduction to unwinding techniques will be demonstrated and experienced.
Students discuss and explore their role and response in specific case studies.
Participants ask questions about specific client situations they have encountered and clarify areas they are not confident in handling. A Practicum portion gives the students experience in performing sessions on volunteer clients. This course will rotate different topics of concern and importance to the student interested in staying current with the latest trends and techniques in massage and bodywork. The course will focus on introducing students to techniques and approaches on an introductory to intermediate level. Topics will be selected to provide students with a better understanding of the current cutting edge of massage therapy and bodywork.
