PREREQUISITE: C500 Unwind, Rock & Move - Level 1

CE Credits: 13 Hours

Cost: $345 ($390 if registering within 7 days of class)

Unwind, Rock and Move- Level 2 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.
