This two-day foundational course introduces you to Native American stone massage methods, including the most current research available in safety, sanitation, and alternating temperatures. The application of stone massage is an effective therapeutic modality which treats the whole body, and is beneficial for almost everyone. The chemical changes manifested in the body are numerous. Joining this ever-changing scientific evidence is the unchanging traditions of our ancestors.
Ceremony is introduced as a method of connection to Mother Earth in the traditions of the ancestors who first developed this style of wellness. Ceremony is free...it is NEVER for sale. The course fees pay for your education and the presentation costs for the event.
