Bamboo class photo

Here's a photo of some delicious bamboo-fusion massage being done by one of my students during class (Brenda Ghantous working).

If you take the class, you'll receive such good work! And get CEUs at the same time.

The instructional DVD and bamboo tools are included in the price of class. See www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes for more specific information.

Learn a new modality!

Bamboo-fusion is going to be the big next thing, I've been told. As massage therapists need to fufill their CEU credits, learning to massage with warm bamboo with give them the upper edge. Clients love the feeling of the massage while receiving it, and the effects keep them happy for a long while!

Treating your clients to warm bamboo-fusion massage during these cold weather months is a great way to keep them coming back!

Massage with Bamboo-Fusing Nature with Deep Relaxation

Here is the first installment of an article I wrote for the Spring 2008 issue of Hands Across Ohio, AMTA Ohio chapter. For information about learning Bamboo-Fusion massage, please click on www.ashiatsuworkshops.com/bamboo_massage.

Used in China for over 5000 years, bamboo has many wonderful properties. With its origin in ancient times, it has been used for building, making paper, books and food. Sweet in taste, bamboo shoots are eaten in many popular dishes. In fact, bamboo is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine—it’s roots to quench thirst and promote lactation, while the leaves assist with healing in a type of asthma caused by excessive phlegm, among other things.

With luxuriant foliage, bamboo plants are a beautiful addition for massage rooms, offices, houses and parks. Naturally beautiful and resilient, bamboo is commonly used in many household items such as mats and wall hangings, baskets, chairs and fans. It grows well on infertile land, regenerates itself after being cut and can tolerate extreme temperatures.

Bamboo's Natural Beauty

Did you know that bamboo is naturally resiliant? It can survive hot summers and cold winters. It's strength is amazing--bamboo can be used in flooring, furniture and even in house structures. Lush and green, it's a favorite plant in gardens, massage rooms and in office buildings.

Medicinally, bamboo shoots and leaves can help reduce phlegm and increase lacation. Many Asian recipes call for bamboo shoots, as it's flavor is sweet and slightly sugary.

Bamboo is now being used to deeply yet softly work out knots and kinks in massage clients. Nathalie Cecilia, founder of Bamboo-Fusion massage, teaches therapists thoughout the U.S. to luxuriously use her delightful technique of warm bamboo on their clients.

High end spas call upon Nathalie to train their massage therapists in this technique. Currently, Nathalie primarily teaches at her office in Sarasota, FL. Other instructors, trained by the founder herself, will soon be teaching this modality in Seattle, Hartford and in Cincinnati.

For more information, you can look at Nathalie's site, www.Bamboo-Fusion.com or www.ashiatsuworkshops.com/bamboo .
