lifelineBeginning Biodynamic Massage – September 21-24, 2018

This class is for licensed massage therapist and students enrolled in a massage program. Monica Rudestam LAc, LMT and April Duncan LAc, LMT will be co-teaching this class.  Monica and April have been students of Todd Jackson for many years and are honored to be teaching Todd’s beginner level classes.

Biodynamic Massage combines deep tissue massage with biodynamic cranial therapy. A balanced blend of direct and indirect approaches, it trains the practitioner to discover precisely where and how to work. This guidance verifies the practitioner’s effectiveness with a marked change in tissue quality. It is beautifully simple and therefore attainable by those new to the fields of massage or cranial therapy. It becomes profoundly sophisticated as one’s ease and skill advance, offering nourishment for practitioners well versed in both fields.

Learn how to facilitate the expression of health already within your clients. Modify pressure, direction of movement and surface area of contact to elicit the healing potency of the cranial system to reorganize the connective tissues for you. You will learn how to connect with the intelligence within the body and follow it, allowing the massage to be guided by the client’s own healing forces. This is very different than massage being guided by your ‘intuition’ or by a prescribed protocol for manipulation. During biodynamic massage, we learn to recognize, palpate and follow the body’s own inherent plan for self healing.

Class sizes are intentionally small and assistants are employed to ensure students confidently integrate the approach. Ongoing support is available after workshops via Supplements, Treatment Exchanges, Feedback Sessions and Mentorship. Please go to Todd’s website at toddjackson.com to see additional curriculum offered.

Testimonials

“Having been to many people for weight loss and getting the same message regurgitated over and over, I went into see April reluctantly. The experience was incredibly nurturing and the message was fresh and extremely helpful. I walked away with a new-found connection with my body that I didn’t have before. That’s been the catalyst to my journey to optimal health. I’m grateful for knowing her!” ~AS
