Medical Intuitive Touch
A Hands-On Introduction to Read-
ing the Body

hold information about the state of our
health. This three hour course gives you an
introduction to unique system by “reading”
the body’s energies and interpreting the
messages you receive. Using gentle touch
on just the hands, wrists, and forearms,
learn and practice feeling and identifying
messages about the different major systems
in the body and meridians that correspond
to the major organs. Students will see and
experience and practice on each other. This
fascinating system has been developed

Couples Massage
Enhance your relationship and improve
your health by giving and receiving the
healing powers of therapeutic touch.
Massage promotes health by boosting
your body’s own processes. You and
your partner will reach deeper levels of
communication and help each other reach
a centered, comfortable place where both
can feel safe and confident in giving and
receiving massage therapy. After a brief
overview of the physiology and anatomy
of the body, mapping of the muscle
attachments and cautions, we’ll explore
neuromuscular, Swedish strokes, motion
and palpation styles of massage which
include techniques named “Hollywood,”
“clay snakes,” “princess wave,” and “Tai
Chi push.”

Life Cleanse
Keep Calm & Cleanse On
If you feel stagnated, stuck, or a bit off
balance, perhaps a “life cleanse” is just
what you need to get back on track. Gain
tools to let go of unhealthy habits and
begin to create a life that is replenished
and revived. We will do some well needed
clean-up of all things, thoughts, behaviors
and perhaps relationships that clutter our
space. We will focus on the eight elements
of wellness by assessing which areas are
intact and which may need some refreshing.
The rooms we will focus on will include
the mental, physical, relational, spiritual,
environmental and financial. Leave knowing
what steps you can take to make positive
changes and live the life you deserve.

Why Can’t I Sleep?
Insomnia and Brain Health
You can eat all the
right food, take the
best supplements,
exercise regularly, but
if you can’t sleep you
jeopardize your well-
being. Good sleep is a
cornerstone of heath, emotional stability
and longevity. This course explores causes
of insomnia and the array of tools that can
be used to restore good sleep. Our brains
get battered from everything from trauma
to foods we eat. Medications, emotions, life
stress, and environmental substances tax
our brain’s ability to care for our bodies and
disrupt sleep. Learn about nutrition and
diet, essential oils, far Infrared heat, low
energy feedback, and amino acids balance.

Mindfulness 101
Skills for Living in Awareness
Mindfulness is the art of being fully present
for ourselves and for others so that we
can fully embrace our lives. Through its
practice we become less driven and more
centered. Drawing on the wisdom of an
ancient tradition, its helpful effects have
been validated by modern neuroscience.
Mindfulness gives tools to reduce stress,
manage emotions, increase focus, and
improve overall health. The ultimate benefit
is that you move through suffering to joy and
touch life more deeply and authentically.
With an emphasis on experiential exercises,
discussion, and home practice, students
will learn mindfulness practices and be
able to apply these to their daily lives.
