Unwind, Rock and Move (C500)
with Teresa Greene

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.

MediCupping™ Therapy Level 1 CAM Applications for VacuTherapies™ in Bodywork
VacuTherapies™ provide a wonderful bridge to the medical community, with special applications for pre- and post-surgery conditions, chiropractic and orthopedic work, conditions associated with Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Fibromylagia, and much more. Results are fast and comfortable for the client and practitioner, and noticeably impressive to medical professionals.
As an adjunct therapy for massage, physical therapy and chiropractic work, easy resolution of soft tissue issues enhances procedures and adjustments to accelerate client progress. Pre and post- surgical conditions such as scarring and restriction quickly respond to this gentle, yet effective, therapy. Athletic performance and injury recovery is also accelerated without discomfort.
This MediCupping™ certification workshop reviews the history of vacuum therapies, applications and contra-indications, and all of the foundation movements. Client intake, assessment and charting are addressed, and the practitioner comes to view the client through the cup, learning to discern information that the body reveals as it is being treated. The second day focuses on athletic performance, pathologies and deep tissue issues, as well as the use of magnets to accelerate results. The third day is dedicated to the lymphatic system and “Solid Bloat”, including specialized work with obesity and client weight loss programs as well as diabetes and edema.
Students work with and become skilled at using the MC-600 MediCupping™ machine, and will experience intensive hands on exposure to the techniques that are presented.
MediCupping™ produces immediate effects on many conditions, resulting in client enthusiasm and commitment to treatment protocols.

The Level 2 workshop is a honing of assessment skills using specific evaluation criteria, along with ACE VacuTherapies techniques and concepts to create individual protocols for clients with acute and chronic conditions. Special attention is dedicated to the review of bio-magnetic theory and applications, along with a review of the lymphatic system to address the intensive tissue dredging that characterizes vacuum therapy.
Participants may choose to present a case synopsis or client study devoted to a particular health imbalance or condition.
Case Synopsis Suggestions:
- SOAP Notes
- Treatment Diagrams
- Client Comments and Testimonials
- Photographic Documentation
- Practitioner Observation
