Would you like your practice to be more “medical” based? Would you like your practice to help transform people’s lives? Would you like your practice to be easier on your body?

Learn the latest neuroscience about chronic pain and the conclusive evidence about which therapies prove most effective. Find how this information can clarify the difference in the “types” of chronic pain that people suffer from. Understanding this difference will determine how successful you are in assisting your clients in their recovery. With this new information we will build a practical model for identifying and treating the complexities of chronic pain. First, we’ll look at how to rewire the neuro-circuitry that causes chronic pain and then we’ll consider the role somatic education plays in changing inefficient patterns of dysfunction. Therapeutically we’ll use awareness-based touch and movement to awaken proprioceptive centers and stimulate new neurological activity.

Emphasis in this class will be placed on the kinetic chain of the spine, ribs, and extremities. We will explore how to palpate and assess the relative health of these complex relationships. We will also look at how the curves and spirals of the spine affect each other and how areas of dysfunction appear and feel. Strategies will be explored to assist easier, less encumbered movement throughout the length of the skeleton. A variety of injuries, pathologies and conditions will also be discussed. Lastly, we will look at how to bring our clients into a healthier relationship with their own healing. Our goal will be to help them become more autonomous and secure in living with whatever conditions may be a part of their lives. Please wear clothing that doesn’t restrict movement AS THIS IS ALL CLOTHED BODYWORK.

This class consist of two hours of lecture, three 40-min. movement explorations that dovetail with the hands-on work and the rest of the time implementing things learned during the class.

Wear comfortable clothes, bring one set of sheets and your blanket for layering. You may also want to bring materials to take notes.

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.
