East West Healing Arts Program workshops

Aromatherapy
Fragrances are an essential part of life and, as this basic 15-hour course illustrates, a vital component of comprehensive relaxation massage therapy. In addition to learning the benefits and techniques of using essential botanical oils, you'll learn about the classification and chemistry of various plants.

Introduction to Polarity Therapy
In this 24-hour course, you'll learn a natural system of gentle touch to promote physical, emotional and spiritual unity and healing. It's based on the theory that the body has an energy pattern that serves as a blueprint in healing itself when illness, injury or stress cause blockages in the flow of life resources. Polarity therapy enables you to restore the body's balance when it can't cope with these blockages on its own. You'll learn acupressure points in the feet, hands, head and face so that you can provide relaxation for even your most "wired" clients.

Reflexology
An eastern therapy based upon the principle that massaging points on the feet or hands has a reflexive action on other parts of the body, such as organs, glands and various tissues. This 21-hour workshop provides you with another way to treat the body's problem areas, particularly in cases where regular or deep pressure massage is contraindicated.

Shiatsu I
This 20-hour hands-on workshop provides a more detailed look at the mechanisms and designs of classical Japanese finger pressure massage therapy. You will draw the twelve meridians and locate a number of major acupressure points on one another and then discuss their therapeutic significance. Also, you'll learn a very simple, yet effective, neck and shoulder release.

Shiatsu II
This 20-hour course provides an introduction to ancient acupressure massage therapy that accesses the body's bio-energies. You will learn the twelve meridians and methods for treating the back, front, face, feet and hands as your own hands develop a healing memory.
