Practitioner Certification Retreat
A retreat format certification course to license certified massage therapists to offer The Body Journey Massage Experience® in their practice.
This class teaches techniques to easily integrate the superpower of sound into your work. Sound can distinctly transform the energy in the room and encouraging the flow of chi in your client’s body. The body has less resistance to sound than it does to touch, and given that people are 60% water (even bones are 30%), it’s no surprise that the resonance and ripples caused by sound in water have a powerful effect on the human form.
Sound will soon become one of the most influential tools in your repertoire, moving energy and inducing healing where touch alone falls short. While you can use chimes, tuning forks, and crystal bowls, the simple power of your vocal cords does wonders when used properly. In this session, you will learn to create polyphonic overtones with your voice, which potent acupressure points respond well to sound, and how to use sound to assess your client and clear their aura field.
In this class, you will learn tools for clearing, restoring, and moving energy in your own body, and for massage therapists, in your clients’ bodies as well. We'll begin with a vocal polyphonic overtone sound bath to activate your chi. Then we’ll move more chi with potent acupressure energy-work followed by a short demo of a Body Journey Massage Experience® — a multi-modality bodywork treatment utilizing sound, touch, and energy.
Unlock the full potential of your massage practice by learning to induce a deep, cosmic theta state in your clients during every session. This is where true transformation happens, as the mind and body release and become fully present. This program equips you with dynamic tools for clearing, restoring, and moving energy throughout the body, including acupressure energy work to remove blocks in the meridians. Take your practice to the next level and help your clients achieve a state of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and healing.
Over and under techniques rely on one simple truth: When the front of the body is able to relax, the back does too! (And, visa-versa!) In this course, you will learn to use one hand on the top body while working the back body with the other hand and a completely different move. In this course, you will learn how to use one hand on the top of the body while simultaneously working the back with the other hand using a completely different technique. This dynamic approach will enable you to create a deeper level of relaxation for your clients and facilitate a more profound connection between the body and mind.
In this course, you will learn to transform your clients’ overused, club-like hands and feet into agile fingers and toes! Often overlooked or skimmed over in a massage, the physical and energetic health of hands and feet is of utmost importance to keep the Chinese meridians flowing. When the feet are open, people more easily receive vital earth energy. When the hands and fingers are open, the neck and shoulders, and even upper back will surrender with more ease.
It’s rare to find a class that teaches real old-fashioned reflexology. In this course, you will learn a simple version of reflexology that you can incorporate into every session. You will also learn a more detailed version which is wonderful for assessing the whole body. Your clients will thank you for this added attention.
As a person who receives a lot of bodywork, I rarely have a therapist pay enough attention to my hands, and even more rarely, my fingers. One of my core practices is to do a complete opening of the hands and fingers. Plus, these techniques will also benefit your own self-care and help preserve your hands.
Get ready for a super informative class that will keep your clients coming back for more!
In this course, you will learn a powerful signature offering from The Body Journey Massage Experience® that sets it apart from other massage techniques. Most therapists work on the limbs and then release their touch before reaching the fingers and toes. However, the extremities are where the Chinese meridians end, and the energy body extends even further, making it crucial to guide the energy all the way out. When you use the completion technique with intentional strokes on the extremities, clients feel an added level of care that enhances their overall experience.
For example, you just spent a lot of time on the neck and shoulders per the client’s request. By using the completion technique, you would potentially work very efficiently and effectively on the legs with just one or two strokes, thus leaving nothing untouched.
We therapists can utilize the chi in the Chinese meridians to help remove blocks in the body, thereby protecting our own musculature as well. This technique is effective, efficient, and essential for every therapist.
As a bonus, the skills you acquire in this class will allow you to offer a fully supine massage, which many clients are requesting more often due to various reasons such as false eyelashes or congestion. Integrating The Completion Technique into every session is something students do once they have learned it, and it has proven to be a hit with clients.
