This workshop focuses on three interrelated phases and stages:

• Active Cancer Stage
• Post Treatment Phase
• Surviving phase with remission stage

Introduction:  Cancer in its many variations (over 200 types have been identified) and treatments affect all clients in a holistic manner.  Body-Mind and Spirit are inextricably woven together and no one body part should be ignored. Cancer is systemic and long term. There is no single cause of cancer, like a virus, microbe or bacteria. Cancer is slow-acting and insidious. Therefore, the instructor has chosen three ancient, time-proven and modern bodywork modalities that work synergistically to create a healing environment in the client.  Also, none of these modalities are invasive or confrontational.

Protocol:  According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, when the Qi is blocked and stagnant, there is dis-ease. The goal is to create a balanced and free flow of Qi. The quickest way to access the Qi is through these four modalities:  Meditation, Acupressure, Reflexology and Manual Lymphatic Drainage.  The student will also learn to use ancient Gusa Sha tools for scar tissue release, stagnate Qi and blood flow, Trigger Points and more.

In addition, you will be taught the appropriate level of Touch/Pressure, contraindications and precautions and the best positioning for the client receiving. You will also discuss the three main current medical therapies and their side-effects: Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery.

Even if you have never treated clients with cancer, this workshop will be useful because it focuses on the IMMUNE system and any imbalances in health caused by Myofascial pain and emotional stress.  This workshop is excellent for post Covid survivors and should be seen as preventive as well.

What to Bring:  sheets/face cradle cover/blanket, lubrication and a hand towel.  Dress code should be sports bras and or tops that allow access to clavicle areas and abdominal areas.  Pants/shorts that can be pulled up over the knee.

** Wolfgang brings oils and Gua Sha tools to use in the class and he also offers them for sale to students in the class**

In this simple and fun one day course you will learn the theory and practice of Traditional Thai Foot Massage from a Thailand trained instructor. Dating back more than 2000 years, Thai Foot Massage is a comprehensive and easy way to increase overall health, vitality, and relaxation. This modality combines the ancient practice of Reflexology and Thai Massage stimulating reflex points in the foot that correlate to organs in the body and working on “sen” lines to free up energetic blocks. Additionally, the client receives a therapeutic massage to the feet and lower legs to relieve soreness or fatigue. Different from other types of reflexology which can be painful for the client or hard on the therapist, Thai Foot Massage feels great for the client and is easy on the therapist. This is great as a stand-alone treatment or an add-on to your massage.

Please Bring: One set of massage sheets, a small amount of cream or oil, and 1 hand towel. Please wear shorts or pants that can be rolled above the knee so you can fully enjoy receiving.

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