About
Well explore the fundamentals of safe and effective treatments, including anatomy, physiology, functional body mechanics, rhythm, flow and connections. This is a supportive space to practice, receive, and build confidence in giving treatments, while tuning in to your own energy and the needs of others.
Expect a nurturing environment with time for learning, sharing, and self-care. No previous experience is required – just and open heart and willingness to connect through touch.
Looking forward to sharing my knowledge and 35yrs of experience with you.
