• Description: This course is an in-depth overview of breast health and disease. Topics covered include breast anatomy, the relationship of breast tissue to surrounding musculoskeletal structures, lymphatic drainage of the chest wall, physiology of the pregnant and lactating breast and identifying healthy variations in breast tissue. Discussions of breast pathology and surgery includes identifying characteristics and treatment of breast cancer. We will discuss therapeutic indications for breast massage and learn to teach clients to perform empowering self-exams. There will be a thorough demonstration of breast massage including shiatsu and lymphatic drainage of the axxilae and chest wall. Students practice on one another under supervision.

• Description: A survey of the definition, history, and practical application of basic aromatherapy techniques and principles. The goal is to give the massage therapist knowledge of aromatherapy in a general way highlighted with specific information they can immediately integrate into their day-to-day practice. With this in mind, the course will focus heavily on the muscular and relaxation uses of essential oils as well as important contraindication information. A course outline and printed handouts, as well as additional reference materials will be available and it will be recommended that the massage therapist integrate this information into their "professional library" as part of their practice. APPLIED AROMATHERAPY FOR THE MASSAGE PROFESSIONAL will give the massage therapist enough information and hands-on practice to explore their options and to actually get started right away with complete synergies they formulate as part of the class work. It will also serve as a springboard for those seeking to study aromatherapy as a separate modality.
