In this class you’ll connect with your vision, explore beliefs that could be holding you back and build a stronger foundation for success.

What makes that connection between you and the client before you even touch them? How to avoid being fake and sales-y and provide a therapeutic session that meets everyone’s needs – the client, the therapist and the practice. Establishing rapport with clients leads to repeat and regular scheduling and enhances the benefits and outcomes for the client and the therapist. A client base built on repeat clients is more rewarding/fulfilling for the therapist, and decreases the emotional labor and time involved in onboarding new clients and decreases marketing costs while stabilizing income.

Session Description
8.0 CE’S

The neck is a strong, vulnerable and complex structure. It is the most movable part of the spine, and yet is strong enough to balance and support the head (10-11 pounds), even with chronically poor posture. Skillful deep tissue work in this area is not about brute force; it’s about precision and strategy, informed by knowledge of the anatomical structures. It’s rare to find massage therapists who really know how to massage the neck in a precise, specific way– especially around the small muscular attachments to the transverse processes–even though this is often where the muscles are most frayed and/or inflamed.
