Adding Shiatsu to your massage will supercharge your work!
Shiatsu is a deeply powerful and complete form of bodywork, respected worldwide and based on thousands of years of empirical data. What’s more profound is that the meridian system and its specific acu-points have a deep influence on our musculature, the internal organ conditions and the immune and nervous systems. The meridian lines and acu-points are considered extensions of the internal organs so learning the points that enhance their functioning makes all the sense in the world. Join us for this one day workshop, where Larry will teach you how to add the most powerful shiatsu lines and points to supercharge your Swedish massage.
The first 8,000 massage treatments I performed in my career were Traditional Barefoot Shiatsu sessions. I had studied for years with the Macrobiotic and Japanese Masters Michio Kushi and Sensei Masahiro Oki and was amazed at their breadth of wisdom, power and effectiveness. There wasn’t any type of overhead bar or other props in the early 1970’s and you did not walk on your client’s body. Instead it was a very sophisticated form of bodywork using many parts of your own body to treat your client while concentrating on the energy lines called meridians and specific acupuncture points called tsubos. — Larry Heisler, M.A., LMT

The secret to a great massage is sometimes found in the humblest
of places!
Foot and hand work is something most massage therapists are weak
in. For whatever reason, most schools gloss over this very
important part to your massage. At our school, we teach that good
foot and hand work can be the difference between a satisfied client
and one that will go elsewhere. This class will help you hone your
foot and hand work, giving you a new, fresh approach that will have
your clients returning again and again for more. Our deep
tissue/medical massage approach includes the neuromuscular trigger
point work that will help eradicate pain and tension as in
addressing plantar fasciitis or arthritic hand complaints and
combine the most powerful shiatsu points on the legs and arms, feet
and hands. The acupuncture/acupressure points in Japan are known as
tsubos. The specific tsubos called the Go, Gen, Sei points are one
the secrets to an extraordinary session in Japanese shiatsu or
Chinese Tui Na. This is not a reflexology class that requires a
completely different serious course of study. The combination of
trigger points and shiatsu makes it some of the most powerful foot
and hand massage work you’ll ever experience.
Join us for a day of great foot and hand work!
Teacher excellent, he’s a master of his art. This was an excellent

The Deep Massage Therapy Facial is not the typical facial received at a salon by a cosmetologist or an esthetician, rather it is one uniquely designed for us, the massage therapist.
It is our belief that combining deep tissue massage with organic skin care products is a great idea! It seems like every time I have gotten a facial or a hot stone treatment, afterwards, I would walk out so relaxed that I could hardly talk but that would just make me more aware of how tight and stiff my body was. If I could just get someone to address the aches and pains along with taking my brain away… well, you get the idea. What’s even more exciting is that as you dramatically increase circulation to shoulders, neck and face, using our specially designed deep tissue techniques, you make your client look significantly younger. Add some wonderful foot and hand massage and an aroma rich hot towel facial hydrotherapy and voila; “TOTAL NIRVANA!”
We will teach you all the components of a great facial massage including the creation of and a` la carte menu of services for your office practice – from the equipment and supplies needed, to the actual application of products with the strokes and techniques utilized. As massage therapists, we do not do extractions, we do not analyze or diagnose skin problems and we do not treat or prescribe products. We stay completely within the scope of our practice and frankly, it’s the best thing that can happen to someone’s face because the results speak for themselves. Deep tissue massage combined with organic skin care is the fountain of youth and we will show you how to master it. Join us for this all day, hands-on presentation with its creator, our very own, Larry Heisler.
Dramatically increase your earning potential and offer your clients these valuable additional services.
Excellent Class as always! You will not be disappointed and neither will your clients — Anastasia, LMT
Loved it all-Thank you! Excellent class and teacher! — Lisa Nelson, LMT
Fantastic course, awesome instructor! — Anthony Giambra, LMT
Can’t wait to incorporate this into my massage! — Melissa Stein, LMT
