Description

The Spirit Massage is a gentle stress relieving massage designed to quiet the mind and get the client in touch with own inner healing rhythms.

This course integrates Lymphatic Drainage, Guided Imagery, Energy Balancing, Myofascial Release and Swedish Massage. Benefits include stress relief, deep relaxation, and increased mental, emotional and spiritual clarity.

Perform this routine on receivers who are stressed, scattered, or in emotional turmoil. Gentle, energy-based techniques, coupled with guided imagery, induce a meditative state where excessive mental 'noise' is quieted and a sense of inner balance and harmony is attained.

I phoned with questions that were kindly answered. Then I texted questions that I later found were all provided in the content. No one ever scolded me for not going on and finding the answers. Thank you for guiding me through this process. I will continue to use Integrative Healthcare for my education needs.
