Compassionate + Intentional Education for Intuitive Touch Therapists

 

The education I provide is a mashup of all my favorite things... magic, mysticism, herbalism, science, intuition and ritual. My goal has always been to provide the holistic and complete education I would want. I am constantly researching and finding new topics I am interested in, and then tying them back into our lives as touch therapists (who also live on planet Earth and are connected to many other living things).

The superficial fascia connects our entire bodies like a complex web - we can not aim to prevent or reduce structural signs of aging without addressing the downward pull and compression of this tissue on the face.  Not only does it connect our head with our toes (and everything in between), but the muscles of facial expression and nerves that innervate them are all embedded in superficial fascia on the face.

Understanding how posture, fascia, the nervous system, the lymphatic system and skin conditions are all connected is the key to providing "results-driven" treatments.

I invite you to explore important questions with me such as...

  • What can we do to make the planet we live on better for future generations?
  • What can we do to make the lives of our clients better?
  • How can we make meaning of our existence + experiences in every day life?
  • How can we be truly happy with our careers and feel like we are making a difference, without feeling like we are taking advantage of others?
  • What does it mean to run the business YOU want and be "capitalism critical?"
  • What does it mean to be a really good esthetician?
  • What is success? Happiness? Security? Safety?

None of these have simple answers... that is what makes life as a human both exciting and difficult.

The fact is, there is a lot of nuance in this world and it is hard to grapple with. I want to embrace that nuance and what makes us special, unique, magical beings.
