Energetic Raindrop Bodywork
2024-07-19 08:00 - 17:00 | American Academy of Health & Beauty, 981 SECOND ST SUITE 4, MANCHESTER, NH, NH03102, United States
ENERGETIC RAINDROP BODYWORK (ERB) is one of the safest, most noninvasive treatments available for spinal health and may help to release stress, tension, muscle spasm flare-ups, chronic pain, colds and flu, fatigue, poor sleep and sometimes emotional blockages. It is also an invaluable method for promoting healing from within using topically applied essential oils to the feet first (the arch represents the spinal area in reflexology) and then the spinn leaving the client emotionally and physically balanced. The oils used are: Valor, oregano, basil, thyme, wintergreen, aroma siez, marjoram, cypress and peppermint.
A treatment lasts approximately one-hour, however the oils continue to work for several days and even up to a month in some instances!. Oils are applied to the bottom of the feet first (the arch represents the spinal area in reflexology). The oils are then dripped one at a time like drops of rain, up the clients back; thus, the name Raindrop. A series of seven different strokes are then performed on the back area to help disperse the oils, followed by a moist warm towel wrap. The clients’ chakras (energy zones) are then balanced to make sure their energy is flowing properly.
At the conclusion of this full day course, you will be able to provide your clients a full 60 minute body treatment with the protocol for application of oils and strokes.
