“Body Wraps – 101”

Course Description

In this course we will learn how to do three types of full body wraps: Dead Sea Mud, Seaweed Gel and a Lavender Mint Moisture Mask.

Long known for its healing properties and very high concentration of minerals, the Dead Sea has offered mud users relief from aching joints, stiffness, skin problems and other toxic ailments. The Seaweed Gel infuses the body with vitamins, minerals & antioxidants, improves circulation, stimulates the metabolism and promotes cell renewal.  The Moisture Mask restores the skin’s water-lipid layer and increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen in the skin cells, neutralizes free radicals and protects connective tissue. The Moisture Mask has also been shown to helps reverse sun damage, and firms, lifts and tones aging skin. All three full body wraps can aid in body contouring as well.

Attendees will not only be instructed in the process of these three wraps, but will also actually receive one of the three body wrap treatments during the class.

Reflexology I: Foot Reflexology

Course Description

In this four hour hands-on course, you will learn the basic techniques for Foot Reflexology, which focuses on application of pressure to areas on the feet that theoretically correspond to organs and systems of the body which in turn is believed to affect the organs and benefits the client’s health. It is also widely accepted that Reflexology is generally relaxing and may be an effective way to alleviate stress and promote wellness throughout the entire body.

This modality is especially beneficial to those clients who may be unable to receive and/or tolerate a full body or chair massage. Several studies have indicated that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Studies also show that reflexology may have benefits in people in palliative care.

This class is open to all individuals and to the general public.
