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).

Check out the answers to our top FAQ before you go down the rabbit hole. As you continue poking around this site, you will find a lot more in-depth information about online and in-person offerings. Use the links in our menu as a guide!

☯︎
Connection

How can we fully connect with ourselves to find the answers we need and connect with others to build strong bonds? How do we utilize energy and Mother Nature in treatments? Connection builds stronger relationships + trust with ourselves and the world around us, soothes our nervous systems and improves our referrals + client retention.

☯︎
Expansion

How can we build strong businesses, fully resourced and abundant, without taking advantage of others or our environment? Expansion explores how we grow our wealth + money + magic, and it improves our ability to operate from a place of fulfillment rather than scarcity, provide quality services, donate to causes and scale ethically.

☯︎
Amplification

How can we better understand the nuances of skin, health, ingredients, processes, etc. so that we can make the best possible recommendations? Amplification takes place when you trust more fully in your intuition, customize instead of following protocols and provide the most individualized + successful services possible.

In hands-on massage classes, we focus on sculpting the face naturally with fascia release (connective tissue), intraoral/buccal massage, holistic approaches, energy work and intention, nervous system regulation + consent-based practice.

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.
