This 4-day class prepares students to employ The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® in a professional setting and for their own self-care. While it is a stand-alone class, and you will leave prepared to use the anterior techniques in your clinic, it should be considered Part One of two. The posterior techniques are offered in a second 4-day workshop and are essential for comprehensive care of your clients.
Prerequisite: Professional license in healthcare. Continuing Education Credits (CEU) are available for Acupuncturists and Massage Therapists.
I plan to teach this workshop twice a year on the Front Range in Colorado. Please send an email if you want to be notified when additional dates are set.
