LYMPHATIC
DRAINAGE: Level I (16 HOURS)
Prerequisite: Deep
Muscle Massage and Anatomy & Physiology I
This is an
intensive two day introduction into the fundamentals
of lymphatic drainage therapy. Lymphatic drainage
therapy can alleviate conditions such as swelling
(edemas) of many origins. By activating lymphatic
fluid circulation, it detoxifies, rejuvenates, and
assists in regeneration of body tissues. It also has
been effective for stimulating the immune system to
improve chronic infections and inflammation such as
sinusitis, acne, chronic fatigue syndrome,
allergies, to alleviate chronic pain, to minimize
complications of surgeries, and for cosmetic
applications to minimize scars and wrinkles.
On
completion of the class, there are
multiple levels to follow. These levels cover the
superficial lymphatics of the face and full body,
deep lymphatic drainage pathways and edemas, working
with the various structures of the body, scar
therapy and practical application of manual
lymphatic techniques in managing tissue trauma and
injury recovery. Additionally, indications and
contraindications for special populations (i.e.: lymphedema) are covered.
Upon
receipt of your registration deposit (required to
hold a spot), you will be given a list of key terms
to become familiar with and a short take home study
guide to help prepare for this introductory course.
Students will receive a certificate of completion
indicating 16 hours.
LYPOSSAGE (32 HOURS)
Prerequisite: Anatomy &
Physiology: Level I
Lypossage
is a body contouring treatment that helps cleanse
the body of toxins and retained fluids. While
results vary, cumulative dimension loss over 5 key
measurement points averaged 6.75 inches in the
original study after completion of eighteen 30
minute sessions. Most women will find they drop one
or two dress sizes without a reduction in their
weight. Lypossage cleanses the body of stagnant,
stalled lymphatic fluid (Lymphedema) that can
create the lumps and bulges we know as figure
imbalance. The deeper Lypossage strokes break up
adhesions under the skin that can contribute to the
dimpled, uneven appearance of cellulite. Lypossage
also tones the muscles, lifting and firming sagging
tissue. Lypossage is performed on the lower body
including the buttocks, hips, thighs and abdomen, as
well as the upper body including the arms, face,
neck and head.
Students
will receive a certificate of completion indicating
32 hours on completion of the 4 day course and will
be able to practice Lypossage on clients. Students
who wish to be certified as a Lypossage therapist
and to be placed on the Lypossage website for free
advertising need to provide the following:
documentation of the completion of zones 1, 2, and 3
of their test subject(s) including photograph(s),
proof of malpractice insurance, and a copy of a
transcript showing graduation from a 500 hour or
longer massage therapy program or an aesthetician
license. Class size is limited to 14 students.
This class will fill up quickly, so register

LOMI
LOMI TEMPLE STYLE BODYWORK: Module I (16

held stress patterns, using deep and gentle rhythmic
strokes of the facilitator’s forearms...connecting

meditative state of bliss. The two-day workshops

Bodywork. Level I participants learn

(7 hours)
Activities: Guided grounding meditations,
spontaneous movement explorations, breathing
exercises, individual facilitation and coaching
using personalized affirmations. Please bring a mat
or quilt for floor activities. Wear relaxing clothes
that are easy to move in and breathe in.
Benefits: The grounding meditations create a
sense of safety and joy in the body. Due to this
container of safety and joy a person can re-own
parts of their body/mind which they formerly
disassociated. They become more of their true
authentic self. Past traumatic events/emotions which
were not originally safe to integrate become
integrated. The grounding meditations are deeply
relaxing, and bring an acute level of conscious
presence into the NOW as well as personal growth.
The exercises will allow us to be more aware of the
world around us while allowing us to stay centered
within ourselves at the same time. We will establish
a greater connection to SOURCE, which will allow us
to experience a sense of security and control
regardless of events that are happening around us.
This
workshop reclaims the authentic self. It increases
clarity, personal empowerment, self-worth, and
brings healing. In level II, students will also gain
experience in holding a safe space for another to
heal. Students will learn to maintain a correct
connected psychological distance with their clients
without enmeshment in their client's issues.
A
certificate of attendance indicating 7 hours is
