The Art & Science of Stress Relief
August 5, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
$95Description: CANCELLED
I’m disappointed that so few therapists seem to realize the importance ot working with the stress response. I will reschedule this for next year.
Want to make stress reduction a focus in your practice? This class will help you to do it more consciously and effectively. The principles and techniques that you learn in this class can also be used to relieve pain, inflammation, and a host of other symptoms and conditions.
The six-hour, live-online class is designed to give bodyworkers a solid understanding of the stress response and specific guidance on how to influence the autonomic nervous system through integrative massage therapy. Topics will include an introduction to the vagus nerve, its clinical importance, and practical methods of working with it.
Participants will learn hands-on techniques as well as self-help information that could serve as client education. Everyone who completes the class will have tools to quickly shift out of fight or flight mode and the knowledge to build resilience against the future effects of excessive stress. Imagine how useful that will be in your own life!
NOTE: Schedule will include a one-hour break for lunch from 12pm to 1pm Eastern time.
