Integrative Massage: Fire

To treat the whole patient, a practitioner needs to be well trained and proficient in many different areas. I appreciate how your courses bring the provider and the receiver together making a treatment highly effective. Keep up the good work! Very valuable and useful tools presented.

This was a wonderful course. It brought me back to my intuition and my own body movement.

W. Coppola, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA

This was a great course for me to add some FIRE to my OWN practice! After 15 years of practicing massage therapy, I have been concerned about burning out. Your thoughtful and comprehensive course has given me a wonderful new approach to treatment for the many clients I work on suffering from stress and burn-out. I look forward to integrating this work into my repertoire of modalities. Thank you!

I. Bradley, LMT

Great course, definitely will use in practice.

Mac Simpkins, LMT

I enjoyed the course very much. I'll be referencing this often!

Darren Laverne Hanna, LMBT

Excellent course! Loved the dvd and workbook format.

Elizabeth Giannotti, LMT, NCTMB

Reviewed video several times to better understand techniques. Quite a lot presented in this course. Also loved the grouping of the 3 courses (Earth, Spirit, Fire). Could see use of techniques from all 3 for various situations. Found I had more questions in this one and had to review several times to make sure I was understanding correctly. As always, seeing helps clear things up, but hands-on is always the defining factor. The videos are very thorough and at a realistic pace to a session, adding good explanations as you go along and suggestions of alternate techniques along with reasons. You get a good understanding of the results of this type of session. Thanks!

Nikki Scarpitto, NCTMB

Very well laid out and supported with pertinent information. It gets to the point, but also gives insightful information along the way.

Nick Milke, LMT

Reading through the material was as if I have been doing this for years. Watching the DVD, I was in tune with the movements. Enjoyed immensley!

Phyllis Magers, LMT, NCTMB

The course is very detailed and has clear demonstrations. It is very helpful.

Leanne Nguyen, CMT, NCTMB

This course was really interesting to me as at first I thought that is was much that I already knew from years of experience in our field. Silly me! I can say I am never too old to learn something new. You have me clicking once again on behalf of my clients. Can't wait to try my new tricks tomorrow! Thank you!!!

Diane Brown, CMT, NCTMB

Great class and video!

Rosanna Cenci, CMT, NCTMB

I enjoyed this course very much! The applied anatomy was excellent I will definitely be using this routine & recommend it to others

Louise Landowski, NCTMB

I really liked this course and I will take the others, Spirit and Earth, courses next year.

Beth Rader, LMT

This is a course with a whole lot of information. It's well presented - and always good to learn some new techniques.

Sabine Crackle

I appreciated that the course began with self centering techniques which were new to me. The basic review of general Swedish massage and how those techniques were applied in the Integrative Massage Fire course made it very easy to flow with the hands on practice.
