• Business Practices

Formerly called: Holistic Bodywork for Injury and Trauma - Level 1

PREREQUISITE:  C240 - Introduction to Synergy Way

Synergy Way-Level 1: Understanding the Physiology of Perception and Holistic Care

CE Credits: 21 Hours - This is a 3 day course meeting 9:00 am - 5:00 pm each day.

Cost: $555 ($600 if registering within 7 days of class)

This class provides an overview of anatomy, physiology and neuroscience of how our bodies process sensory information. Understanding the way our bodies respond to this processing is central to working safely and collaboratively with clients in a holistic manner. Because our bodies are programmed to survive, the body can put a container around the injury, whether consciously or unconsciously, in order to function on a daily basis. These containers often present themselves as tension or holding patterns.   We will address how, as practitioners, to work with clients to facilitate the healing process using the The Synergy Way which honors the body, mind, and spirit while remaining within our scope of practice.

Advisory: I recommend that practitioners have strong personal support systems in place when attending this class as the topics can resonate deeply with an individual’s personal experience and history, including experiences of injury and trauma. I suggest you intentionally keep evening commitments to those that provide a sense of safety, comfort and restoration. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mindy Oldham (615-957-7129).

This class will include lecture, self-reflection and group exercises. Please wear comfortable clothes to participate in the exercises. No perfumes or scented products or jeans.

Unwind, Rock and Move is the methodology in which I now work with my massage clients and was created by first working with myself in pursuit of healing mind, body and spirit over many years.

Unwind, Rock and Move is fully clothed, slow bodywork.  This class is mostly hands-on with some discussion.  There are no prerequisites for this class.

It is my belief that our bodies were made to heal naturally when given the space and freedom to do so. When we slow down, make connection to the spirit within us and move where that spirit leads, we find freedom and fluidity.  This fluidity encourages good health and balance (homeostasis)to our overall wellbeing….and isn’t that what every human needs!

I look forward to sharing how I work with each of you!

Wear shorts, yoga pants or moveable materials that allow your body to naturally bend and move.  Please bring a large blanket that you can place in the floor, 1 blanket to place over you and 2 regular size pillows for Day 1 and a set of sheets/blanket/face cradle cover for Day 2.

There is an Unwind, Rock and Move- Level 2 that is unclothed bodywork and this class is a prerequisite.

A lunch break will be taken midday; you may bring your lunch, or eat at one of the many restaurants located nearby.
