Energy Work

Reiki 1 (C402)

$375

with Mary Beth Crawford

Calendar Apr 27, 2024 at 9 am

CE Credits: 13 Hours

This two-day class meets from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm each day.

Cost: $330 ($375 if registering within 7 days of class)

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. It is a powerful form of hands-on healing. It was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui at the turn of the 20th century in Kyoto, Japan.

When life force energy is flowing freely, you are healthy and balanced. When it is compromised, you are susceptible to illness and stress. Reiki is safe and natural, an input of pure energy that enhances the body’s innate ability to heal itself. These classes will teach you how to keep the energetic field clear and unobstructed within you and for others around you. Reiki is a powerful but simple tool, which can be used to achieve healing and balance for you, family and friends, animals, plants, or situations.

C 402 - Reiki I teaches the history of Reiki, and includes attunements that open the flow of physical energy. It also covers the training and hands-on work necessary for participant to conduct a full Reiki healing session. There is no prerequisite for Reiki I, other than the desire to become still and allow the life force energy to flow freely through you.

C 403 - Reiki II opens greater energy flow, adding a component addressing emotional energy. In addition to the second level attunements, in Reiki II participants will learn the Reiki keys, and a method for long-distance healing. Reiki I is the prerequisite for Reiki II.

The Master Teacher Level (Reiki III) opens another level of energy, which affects spiritual issues. It is available individually. You can contact the class instructor to discuss continuing, after you complete the first two levels.

What to Bring:  Set of sheets/face cradle cover/blanket for each day of class and note taking materials. Massage tables will be provided.

A lunch break will be taken midday.

Call or text Teresa Greene at 615-370-9794  if you have any questions.

Unwind, Rock and Move-Level 2 (C502)

$330

with Teresa Greene

Calendar Aug 3, 2024 at 9 am

PREREQUISITE: C500 Unwind, Rock & Move

CE Credits: 13 Hours

Cost: $330 ($375 if registering within 7 days of class)

Advanced 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.

Building on the techniques learned in Unwind, Rock and Move, this class moves into using the technique with unclothed bodywork.  This class is mostly hands-on with some discussion. 

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!

What to Bring: Sheets/face cradle cover/blanket for each day of class for your personal usage.  Your favorite lubrication/lotion that glides easily.  Where clothing that allows you to easily give massage as we will be trading work in the class.

A lunch break will be taken midday.

Call or text Teresa Greene at 615-370-9794 if you have additional questions.

Payment plan available: $110 deposit plus 2 payments of $73.33, paid every four weeks. Final payment of $73.34.

This class will review anatomy/physiology of the integumentary system, focus on causes and types of scars, address holistic aspect of scar tissue in therapeutic bodywork and provide introductory information regarding techniques and communication with clients who want scar tissue work.  This two-day class focuses on understanding and working scar tissue. Reviewing the anatomy/physiology of scars, types of scars, manual treatment options and client education will prepare therapists to work in a safe, holistic, and therapeutic manner to help heal scar tissue and prevent or reduce long term side effects. Therapists use a variety of techniques with scar care and this class will reference them. However, therapists need to independently study modalities such as manual lymphatic drainage, craniosacral, neuromuscular/trigger point, acupressure, deep myofascial release, and intensive stretching to use them safely and effectively. If you have basic training in any of the above techniques,you will be able to utilize the content of this course.

This class will include lecture and demonstration. Participants need to be prepared to give and receive unclothed bodywork on any scar tissue they may have. The possibility exists for you to bring a client who has scar tissue for you to work on Day Two.

Craniosacral Therapy (T502/E502)

$1,040

with Terry Scruggs

Calendar Oct 5, 2024 at 9 am

CE Credits: 42 Hours
T502/E502
Cost: $1040 ($1085 if registering after September 16, 2024)
Practicum required for course credit.

This class occurs over 3 weekends:  April 6-7, May 4-5 and June 1-2, 2024 and is taught by Terry Scruggs, LMT. All weekend days must be attended for course credit. 

This is a forty-two hour course of training in which the students refine their skills of palpation while learning the ten-step protocol of craniosacral therapy (Hugh Milne approach with some Upledger), myofascial release, advanced unwinding, and somato-emotional release.

Course Description: Craniosacral therapy is a subtle intent approach to releasing and balancing physical, emotional and somatic imbalance within the body. On the physical level, it focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascia of the abdominal, diaphragm and chest segments, and restrictions in the reciprocal tension membrane lining the skull and the spinal column, to normalize the volume, flow, and movement of cerebral-spinal fluid within the system. Although the movements employed are quite subtle, and the pressure of the work is delicate, the results can be profound in the treatment of a range of injuries and chronic conditions including headaches, neck pain, sinus headaches and chronic congestion, and back and hip problems, among many others.

The work is performed on clothed clients, and is very powerful in addressing touch issues for clients who are recovering from trauma or abuse. The energetics of intention and presence are stressed, since the somatic-emotional connection is central to the work.

What to Bring:  Please bring a set of sheets, face cradle cover and personal blanket for each day of class for your personal usage. Craniosacral is clothed bodywork and no lubrication is needed. You may want to bring note-taking supplies and a class manual is provided. Massage tables are also provided. Dress in comfortable clothing appropriate for giving and receiving work; Please do not wear jeans.

Only drinks in covered cups are allowed in the classroom. A one-hour lunch break will be taken midday. You may bring your lunch or eat at one of the many restaurants located nearby.

Call Teresa Greene at 615-370-9794 if you have any questions.

Payment plan available: $350 deposit plus 12 payments of $57.50, paid every two weeks.
