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.

Course Description: Chronic pain conditions require a specialized approach to massage therapy, ensuring that clients receive safe, effective, and compassionate care. This CEU course is designed to equip massage therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to work confidently with clients who suffer from conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders, Migraines, Scoliosis, and more.

Throughout this course, we will explore the symptoms and challenges associated with these conditions, discuss key modifications to standard massage techniques, and identify the most effective methods to address common issues such as muscle tension, joint instability, and nervous system sensitivity. Participants will gain practical insights on how to tailor their sessions to accommodate each client’s unique needs while promoting relaxation, pain relief, and overall well-being. 

By the end of this course, therapists will feel empowered to support clients with chronic pain through informed, ethical, and adaptive massage techniques, ultimately enhancing the quality of care they provide.
