Frost & Hearth Massage, Practitioner Program
Frost & Hearth Massage is a unique modality that has incorporated the inspiration of elements, Fire & Ice. {heat & cold}
To reduce tension and pain caused by tension, cupping therapy (suction) is offered along with aromatherapy custom blended (by students) to deliver hot and cold sensations
Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. The earliest recorded use of cupping dates to the early fourth century. We cover 3 types of cupping, 3 methods of cupping as well as an in-depth home study on cupping history.
The Cupping is done by creating a vacuum on the skin, a "reverse massage" if you will.
By lifting and separating the layers of mayo-fascia there is a "release of stagnation" in tissues, blood, lymph & Chi {energy or life force} creating a state of homeostasis within.
Along with the cupping, practitioners will learn a full bodyworks routine. This will include topical application of the above mention prepared synergy.
This massage is relaxation focused and works with long strokes and repetitive motions while promoting circulation and the movement of the subtle energies within the body
To aid in the cooling sensations precious stones such as obsidian and hematite that offer metaphysical remedies in themselves are cooled and massaged using techniques privy to "Frost & Hearth" to reduce inflammation, aid in repair of muscle damage and offer the "chill factor" to your clients freshly cupped areas.
