Private lessons for folks who have experience with cupping and scraping are also available. Due to the fact that we're in a pandemic, in-person classes (cupping, scraping, Thai bodywork, topical herbs) have been put on hold. Thanks to the magic of Zoom, continuing education classes for Oregon LMTs are still happening. Topics:
- Thai self massage, including an introduction to some basic Thai medical theory.
- Topical Herbs, including Thai herbal compresses, balms, and liniments.
- Private instruction is available in cupping and scraping, if you already have some hands-on instruction with these wonderful tools. Treatment/consult sessions are also available via Zoom (or Skype, FaceTime, etc). Over the past year and a half, I've found that video sessions are a pretty effective and convenient way to get into the Thai self massage practices (Reusi Dat Ton). Reusi Dat Ton (which includes the self massage practice, joint mobilization exercises, breathwork and other practices) which is sometimes translated as "hermit self adjusting practice"...seems quite appropriate for the current times. If you're interested in any of this, the best way to contact is text: (541) 579-6663. Visit http://naturalartscenter.net for more information.
