BAMBOO MASSAGE ONE DAY
ACCREDITED PRACTITIONER COURSE


Course Date: Sunday 18th December, 2011 - Cost: £140.00

ACCREDITED WITH THE CMA
Bamboo has a unique energy all of its own, one that has a special magnetism; this plant emerges from the earth and grows straight and tall, as if it wants to reach the heavens.

Massage With Bamboo
Bamboo Massage is a table massage or seated massage where the therapist uses warmed bamboo tools of varying lengths and diameter to roll, knead and relax muscles with deep tissue techniques and is beneficial in that it brings about increased circulation, relief of sore muscles and a deep state of relaxation. It is regarded as a body, face and limb massage that incorporates bamboo sticks of varying lengths and diameters to provide lymphatic drainage, relaxation and reshaping, simultaneously.    
    Bamboo symbolizes suppleness and resilience, straightforwardness and simplicity; and the massage satisfies two major needs: relaxation and well-being. Bamboo Massage is the latest treatment to take the West by storm. Its recent surge in popularity is down to the effectiveness and appeal of the treatment.
    With the bamboo massage we also work at three levels of experience; they are the potential for impacting and changing our clients' responses. Those levels will overlap throughout the treatment and can be described as the physical, mental-emotional and spiritual levels. We view the bamboo sticks as conducts to all levels of experience. Bamboo is essential and unique because its walls are covered with silica. This creates an outer cover of tiny quartz like crystal matrixes that are activated when they encounter the right conditions of mechanical stress.
     The two main properties of quartz are piezo- and pyro-electricity. This is what produces an energetic charge, so unique that science and industry, as well as the metaphysical world, have been interested and using it for many years. Piezo-electricity is activated with pressure, and pyro-electricity with heat. As we work, we apply pressure to the body with the bamboo stick and the friction that is created will activate the molecular structure in the silica and we then have a powerful tool that is charged and will create dramatic and permanent changes.

Benefits to Clients:
It is a new way of feeling. As they get worked on with the bamboo sticks the energy that is contained within the walls of the bamboo is transferred to them, creating a series of unique and new sensations. Most people describe these as: tingling all over, feeling connected to the earth, feeling like the bamboo is bending and conforming to the body.
It also :-
  • Increases circulation due to more surface contact
  • More pressure can be evenly administered to the client's body
  • Pressure is effectively maintained for longer periods of time
  • More effective work can be done in a shorter amount of time
  • The warmth from the bamboo aids in relaxation
  • Delivers an incredible sensation of relaxation and calm
  • Reduces stress and fatigue
  • Stimulates blood circulation
  • Relieves muscular tension
  • Aids in Lymphatic circulation
  • Benefits clients both physically and emotionally
Physical: Stimulation of the tissue by the bamboo sticks is believed to relive "sluggish state" by dissipating the heat that results from accumulation of toxins and poor circulation, much the same as what would occur through deep tissue work, trigger-point activation, or various acupressure techniques. Some recipients of bamboo massage have described these releases as a whole-body tingling or warming sensation.
Mental-emotional: Emotionally, this therapy provides a total sense of relaxation.
Benefits to Practitioners: Using the bamboo sticks minimizes stressing and straining the hands and fingers, while still allowing for deeply penetrating manoeuvres. At the same time, as we hold the bamboo sticks, that energy is transmitted to us, which will help us to maintain strong and healthy hands and wrists, the areas most susceptible to injury in our profession. Once you start working with the tools and learning how to feel through the bamboo, they become an extension of your hands and fingers. But the bamboo is also a channel for us, taking our massage to a more meaningful level, giving our work a new depth and dimension.

This innovative new massage is a godsend for therapists as it reduces the fatigue and stress to the therapist's hands, wrists and body and Gives a break to overworked thumbs, wrists and hands
Expands less energy than deep tissue with hands
Allows more deep tissue work for clients who want more without extra physical exertion from therapist
Easy combines with other treatments to enhance client's outcome

This in turn allows the therapist to perform a more beneficial massage to their client as well as being able to:
massage for longer without fatigue
Attention-getter at events
Promotes curiosity of potential clients

History and benefits of Bamboo Massage
Piezoeletric and Pyroelectric effects of using Bamboo during massage

Nutritional Microscopy

with Julia Scholder
Our consciousness, emotions, and thoughts are of incredible importance.
And the fact is, we usually eat several times a day, food is a major, if not the major, factor in our health. Consequently, many health problems spring from nutritional imbalance. A balanced body is able to eat everything, without having to rely on eliminating any foods. I also educate my clients about the importance of nutrition, and of their own capacity and responsibility, for their achievement of lasting good health.

Crystal therapy
Crystal Therapy is a gentle but powerful ancient healing treatment which aligns the physical, emotional and spiritual elements through clearing, re-aligning and energising the chakras (energy centres).
   Sessions usually last for 45-60 minutes unless a more complex technique is required at a later stage.
   Specific health questions will be asked prior to a first treatment.
No time for a full one hour treatment ?
I also offer half hour sessions to align and energise the chakras which can be better than no treatment at all, but a full one hour treatment and health assessment must have been undertaken previously.
I am a member of ACHO (Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations).

Over my many years as a singer/songwriter I have been constantly comforted and healed by the act and process of creation.
   Even in my darkest times I have written songs and stories and I have danced and meditated.This has healed my soul and allowed the unconscious aspects of myself to be heard and seen.
   When did you stop telling stories, dancing, drawing or writing?
   When did you last sit in complete silence listening to the voice of your own heart?
   These are not airy-fairy pursuits to me, they are ways for me to stay awake, to stay connected and to stay loving. I believe it is through awareness and taking responsibility, through changing ourselves consciously we will change the world.
   If you want change, to stop pointing the finger of blame outwards. If you want to discover your own depths, your own power and hear your own heart-song unaffected by the agendas, advice or directions of others. If you want to become master of your own destiny, this day will kick start the process. It may not be a short journey but its one well worth taking! Use the beauty and calmness of Birmingham Holistic Health centre to aid the process. Be nourished by the company of others committed to waking up. Relax in your down time knowing you are not alone. Go home with new insight, understanding and an abundance of creative energy.

21st April Living from the Authentic You,
Loving the Authentic You and Letting Your Life Flow




Nicola Phoenix is The Spiritual Psychologist
When we learn to like, love and care for ourselves we give permission for our life to flow with success in every way from our health, well-being, career and relationships. After all, if we don't feel good about ourselves, will we really feel deserving to create the best in our life? Of course not, we will hold ourselves back with fear of not being good enough. Learn how to move away from self-criticism, self-doubt, low self-worth and the limiting patterns, behaviours and beliefs that hold us in a place of suffering.
    This day will teach you how to learn to love and accept your body, mind and self in the now and be the catalyst to reclaiming the very best experience of life.
    With new positive thought patterns, clear intentions of allowing your life to work for you, visualisation and meditation, this day will take you on the journey of letting the authentic you free bringing relief, clarity and freedom.
The possibilities for life are then limitless.
