Asian Energetics – 18 hours
This course offers adjunct therapies to be used in conjunction with any hands-on techniques to complement massage sessions.
Cupping and Gua Sha
- These two ancient Asian methods can be utilized to enhance any massage session while being gentle on the therapist’s hands. Cupping helps move stagnant energy stuck deep in the muscles while Gua Sha invigorates circulation by increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin. Both help stimulate pain relief and quicken recovery with little physical effort on the part of the therapist.
Auricular Therapy (Ear Reflexology)
- Similar to the foot, the ear has reflex points that mirror the entire body, plus special ‘master’ points for overall well-being and stress-reduction. Students will learn the map of the ear and how to stimulate the points for enhanced, longer lasting sessions.
6 weeks ~ $360 plus $60 materials fee (cupping set, gua sha and auricular tools) ~ Starts Fall 2020
