Nurturing the Mother®
Wise Woman Menopause Massage
The Nurturing the Mother® Wise Woman Menopause Massage class is a delightful, fun and informative workshop to learn techniques and protocol for therapeutic massage in support of the powerful life changes a woman experiences in her peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopausal stages. During this time in a woman’s life she can take charge of her body again, after decades of giving to her family and career. Women’s healthcare, especially for the aging female, is largely under-researched and unable to provide effective techniques for women to cope with their changing bodies. This course will support the massage therapist in educating the client, along with addressing her areas of concern that may have largely been overlooked by most healthcare practitioners.
The symptoms addressed are:
Hot flashes
Mood swings
Loss of sleep
Breast health
Cardiovascular health
Thyroid dysfunction
Bladder control
Memory loss
This unique protocol utilizes aromatherapy blends specifically designed by Cynthia Loving, master clinical aroma-therapist, in collaboration with Claire.
The session also includes:
Gentle belly massage with castor oil packs to improve digestion
Hair and scalp rejuvenation massage
Facial massage to hydrate the tissue and reduce wrinkles
Psoas focus to work the kidney and bladder meridians for the winter element
Reflexology points for organ and hormonal stimulation
Deep effleurage of the posterior body to complete the session with a soothing and relaxing effect
"Amazing class that has given me more tools for my toolbox!! The women of my practice will benefit greatly from me taking this class."
