Body Mechanics Audit

Sore wrists? Achy neck and back after a full day of work? I'll bet your body mechanics could use some work. So many LMTs don't get strict education and reinforcement in school about their body mechanics, leaving them burnt out, achy, and down right broken after a few years. How would you like a professional audit of your mechanics? I was fortunate enough to have a few seriously tough instructors in school that harped on this every single day, and here I am 14 years later with very minimal discomfort at the end of a long week. This semi-private "class" is more of an audit of your skills rather than a lesson on something new. I'll spend a little time discussing body/joint stacking during your sessions and important self care routines. I'll then watch you give an hour long session, giving advice along the way and making corrections to your body mechanics. This is a two person class so I can give my full attention to the practitioner working in front of me.

Cupping Therapy 101

The suction and negative pressure created by cupping helps loosen muscles, encourages blood flow, pulls metabolic waste out of our tissues, relaxes the nervous system, reduces cellulite and can also reduce high blood pressure. Cupping is an ancient modality revered in many eastern cultures and is a wonderful, unique experience that can be added to any massage modality. In this class I will demonstrate how to use a few different types of cups properly on yourself and clients, and lecture on the benefits, cautions, and physiology of cupping therapy.

- Instructor: Kaia Van Natta

- 6 CEUs - NCBTMB Approved

- Tuition includes a set of cups!

Aromatherapy for Holistic Practitioners

I will educate students on many of the top chosen oils for massage purposes and show how to best incorporate them into a massage session.  This class is recommended for LMT, LE, DPT, DC, Clinic Receptionists, and anyone else looking for more knowledge on EOs in a health and wellness setting.  

- Everyone is welcome to take this class, no experience or license required!

In November of 2017 I decided to get certified to become a continuing education provider. It was not a quick and easy process. But after a lot of do diligence, pilot classes, and feedback, I finally got my approval from the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork! I love to teach in a relaxed setting with only a hand full of students. I get frustrated when I go to classes and there are way too many students and nowhere near enough time for everyone's questions to get answered, especially during hands on time. 
So I like to keep it small and inclusive.
