Energy Work

Reiki - 2nd Degree(C403)

$330

with Mary Beth Crawford

Calendar Jan 18, 2025 at 9 am

Reiki 1 is a prerequisite to take this class.

CE Credits: 13 Hours

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/blanket for each day of class for your personal usage and materials to take notes. A lunch break will be taken midday.

$1,040

with Steve Sommers

Calendar Mar 21, 2025 at 8 am

This is a 2 weekend course of 6 days: March 21-22-23 and April 25-26-27, 2025. Students must attend all days of the workshop for credits.

Jin Shin Do® can help to relieve tension and stress, reduce pain and discomfort, reestablish the balance of energy between body and mind, and increase client self-awareness. It promotes a pleasant trance state in which the client can move out of the head and into the body, to access creative self-healing and release stagnant energy and stress patterns.

Jin Shin Do® combines gentle yet deep finger pressure on acupoints with body focusing techniques to facilitate the release of physical and emotional tensions and armoring.

The class will cover release methods for 32 points of common stress, tension, and pain, introduction to body-focusing, segmental release using 45 Jin Shin Do® points and the bodymind associations of the segments, master and couple points, and using contact statements and tracking. It will also include strange flow theory and basic release patterns, and how to combine strange flows with the segments.

What to Bring: Sheets/Blanket & face cradle cover for each day.  Massage tables will be provided. A lunch break will be taken each day.

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

Craniosacral Therapy (T502/E502)

$1,040

with Terry Scruggs

Calendar Apr 5, 2025 at 9 am

CE Credits: 42 Hours
T502/E502
Cost: $1040 ($1085 if registering after March 24, 2025)
Practicum required for course credit.

This class occurs over 3 weekends:  April 4-5, May 3-4 and June 7-8, 2025 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 8 payments of $86.25, paid every two weeks.

Unwind, Rock and Move (C500)

$340

with Teresa Greene

Calendar Apr 12, 2025 at 9 am

CE Credits: 13 Hours

Cost: $340 ($385 if registering within 7 days of class)

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.

Contact Teresa Greene at 615-370-9794 if you have additional questions.

Payment plan available: $114 deposit plus 4 payments of $56.50, paid every four weeks.
