Integrative Neuromuscular Therapy (INT) with Phyllis Braun, LMT, RMTI
Integrative Neuromuscular Therapy is clinically specific muscle manual therapy that addresses primary as well as secondary or compensatory neuromuscular dysfunctions. It combines the best of traditional neuromuscular, myofascial, positional release, trigger point and somatic release therapies. It incorporates some cranio-sacral and energy medicines as well. All of this is put into an overall context of who and how the therapist shows up and is present to the work with the client, seeing the whole as well as the parts. It is anatomically specific and can be incorporated into a therapist’s practice immediately. It focuses on the physical, emotional and spiritual well being of both the client and therapist. It supports the therapist in expanding his or her client base and income through the successful and confident application of manual therapy.

Aromatherapy
14 CE Hours with Cathy Hope
Dates and Times:
October 9-10, 2010 (9am - 5pm)

This workshop will cover the basics of essential oils: what they are, where they're found in the plant, how they're extracted, their chemistry, and the pathways of absorption in the body. Lecture will include basic concepts of blending oils for therapeutic application.
We will also examine the sense of smell and how brain chemistry interacts with essential oil chemistry (psycho-aromatherapy). Woven throughout the day are ethical aspects and considerations that therapists should keep in mind when using oils with their clients. Students will gain experience with ten of the most useful essential oils, chosen for their wide range of application with both children and adults, and make a blend using just those oils. By the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be qualified to give basic essential oil treatments.In this 7-hour class, you will learn safe and effective massage techniques to gently support women in all stages of pregnancy. You will learn methods to address many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts during pregnancy. Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.

Cathy Hope formally studied Aromatherapy at the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. She is an apothecary – a grower and manufacturer of herbal medicines - and has devised aromatherapy combinations for both general use and massage therapists over the past twenty years.
