Acupressure: Support for Stress Relief
This class is a beginning look at the practical use of acupressure, for treating oneself and others. The focus of this course will be to define what acupressure, acupoints, and Chinese Meridians are, and immediately begin learning how to use them to ease the number one complaint that most people have in daily life: Stress! Stress shows up as a variety of symptoms, from tension headaches, to muscle fatigue and stiffness, to upset digestion. Learning how to use acupressure gives you one more (natural!) tool to help support the body and mind in times of stress and imbalance. This class will also cover the use of other implements that effect acupressure points, such as magnets and moxabustion.
Tuition: $125. Massage practitioners will receive credit for 6 CE Hours, valid in the State of Texas for license renewal.

Reiki I
In this first level of Reiki, students will begin to learn about the history and use of this Japanese healing modality, as well as techniques for self-healing, working with others, and using Reiki-style meditations. Reiki is a light touch, or even non-touch energetic technique that can often be used in cases where other massage and bodywork techniques would be contraindicated. This course is open to professionals and non-professionals at the same time, because of the nature of Reiki and the absence of the need for any prior study in bodywork. Professional massage practitioners will receive credit for 6 CE Hours that can be turned into the State of Texas for license renewal.
Tuition: $100. The text for all Reiki levels is Essential Reiki by Diane Stein. Please bring this book to class with you, or let me know BEFORE the day of class if you would like to purchase one from me, as I sometimes have extra copies.

Reiki II
In this second level of Reiki, students will gain further understanding of using Reiki Healing on themselves and others. This class goes more in depth, into techniques for emotional healing, and clearing negative energy in spaces, food, water, and people, whereas Reiki I focuses largely on physical healing. To enroll in Reiki II, students must have previously completed Reiki I, or they must be signing up for Reiki I and Reiki II at the same time as a series. Just as in Reiki I, this class is open to professionals and non-professionals. Massage practitioners will receive credit for 6 CE Hours valid in the State of Texas for license renewal.

There is no pre-requisite for this class, but it is only open to massage therapists.
