Touch U Classes

The following is a description of the massage classes we are offering.  It is my hope, my mission, to demystify touch and to make its pleasures and benefits something you can have, literally at your fingertips.  I believe that if you give a person a fish, they eat for a day.  Teach a person to fish and they eat for a lifetime.  Teach a person to massage a fish...okay, that's crazy.  But you see where I'm going.

• Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy and birth.  This joyous process and event is often accompanied by many inconveniences and pains for mom.  The intention of this class is to teach you, the partner or friend, simple techniques to help mom be more comfortable and stress free, without exhausting and stressing you out.  We will address what feels good, what is helpful, as well as things that should be avoided.

• Massage Secrets

For years, women melting with joy in my massage chair have expressed the same lament, "If only you could teach my_____ how to do that."  For years I've thought, "I can." Now I am.

In addition to learning techniques and a foundation routine with which you can happily build upon for the rest of your lives, you will gain an understanding of touch that distinguishes intimate, inspired, ecstasy from mere, mindless manipulation.  Though not specifically sexual (I refer you to my friend Lou Pagent for that) how and where you apply what you learn about touch is up to you.

• Headache Relief

The sources of headaches are many and varied.  This class offers an easy to learn sequence of acupressure point manipulations that have proven quite effective in relieving tension based headaches (less effective for migraine headaches).

• Trauma Relief Technique

A zebra escaping an attack from a lion will find a safe place and tremble until calm.  Observing this, you might conclude the zebra was frightened.  Well, probably yes.  More essentially, though, it was doing something about it.  It was shaking the adrenaline that it had just produced to survive the attack...out of its muscles.  It was not coping, chilling, or maintaining.  Likewise, it had no backache, headache, or attitude about the event.  Older and wiser, it then returned to the herd to relax and eat and perhaps make little zebras.

This class is not about massage.  It is a safe and easy to follow technique for ridding the body of toxic levels of stored adrenaline.  This is achieved by gently exhausting and stretching the core muscles that hold the tension in place.  The result is the ability to produce healthful, natural trembling. Intended for those recovering from trauma, those that attend or support trauma victims, and those who suffer aches, pains, and stress by living, working, playing and driving in and around the modern world.

Eighty percent of all illness is sourced in stress.  Massage, mediatation and this technique, could go a long way to helping you attain a healthful, stress-free life.
