The beauty of bamboo

As a side note from my usual self promotion of my classes, etc., I'd like to chat for just a moment about the amazing natural beauty of bamboo.

It's hardy, growing in many different environments. Bamboo grows rapidly and is self sustainable. Beautiful floors can be made out of bamboo as well as baskets, lampshades and even articles of clothing.

So why do I like my bamboo tools? They're sturdy, retain heat well. The product used is easily replaced by more rapidly growing bamboo (unlike stones for hot stone massage). And clients love, love, love it!

Did you order bamboo tool kits?

If you ordered Bamboo-fusion solid bamboo tool kits at the KY AMTA convention in March, I'm pleased to let you know that you'll finally be getting them!

I expect the bamboo sets to arrive at my office in Cincinnati tomorrow (Tues, June 29), and I'll mail them out by the end of the week.

A few spots still remain for my August 2-3 class in Cincinnati.

Ann Arbor bamboo-fusion

I have postponed the Ann Arbor bamboo-fusion class. Check my website, http://www.affinitymassages.com/ for more information about the class and new dates.

More than likely, we'll try to have it when the weather starts to get a little cooler in the Midwest. Maybe October. Stay tuned!

Space left in Bamboo-fusion class

There's still time to sign up for our 2 day Bamboo-fusion class in Cincinnati scheduled for next week. What better way to treat your clients to a luxurious massage than by using warm bamboo? It heats up in a jiffy and is sooo easy to clean!

Bamboo massage photo

Here's a picture of a student working on another student's hand using warm bamboo. The tools feel amazing on the entire body. Most clients think that the smaller bamboo tools feel just like super warm hands. And keeping your clients super warm during this autumn and winter season is especially important!

The "oohs" and "ahs" on the upper traps come right at the beginnning of the massage, and the client will LOVE your warm deep tissue massage with warm bamboo.

It's so easy to do that you have to be careful to give not too much pressure in places!

Visit www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes for the schedule and to register online. I've got lots of other pictures of massage therapist students using the bamboo posted on that page as well.

Value of bamboo massage class

The AMTA currently offers CEUs (for the members of this massage therapy group) at the national convention for about $30 per hour.

Our bamboo-fusion class is under $25 per CEU, and the bamboo is included in the cost of class, as well as the educational DVD! That's a continuing ed rate you just can't pass up!

My next bamboo massage CEU class (which offers 16 continuing education credits) is Friday and Saturday, August 7 and 8. You can look at my website, www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes for pictures and additional class listings.

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.

Bamboo sets available soon

I will be adding a new page onto my website soon, one where you can purchase the Bamboo-fusion sets online. The table set, which is the kind you can heat, will be available with the DVD as a set. I will also add the Visage (facial) set combo with DVD.

May class full

Our Bamboo-fusion May 18-19 class has filled to capacity. Early registration is recommended for all classes as we have been selling out!

See www.AffinityMassages.com/bamboo_classes for future class dates.

Bamboo is here!

I've just received my latest bamboo-fusion tools and DVDs for class. I have 2 more sets for the two therapists who wants to join us on the 28th of March!
www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_class has info about it!

Why learn Bamboo-fusion massage?

Massage therapists will learn an innovative way to provide Swedish or deep tissue massage while reducing the stress on their hands. Discover a new way to give effleurage and petrissage with warm bamboo of different sizes and shapes.

The bamboo set is lightweight and easy to carry--great for house calls, spa treatments and for those who specialize in deep tissue massage. By introducing a new tool, you will increase the amount of clients you can apply deep tissue to, give longer full body massages and save your hands from repetitive use injuries.

Oftentimes, spas and massage centers find it saves their groups of therapists time by hosting class at their location. There is a minimum requirement of 6-8 students in order to have a class at your location. Minimum depends on travel distance from Cincinnati. Bamboo-fusion is available at your site for $449 per student. Please contact Mary-Claire for more information regarding this at 513-238-0970 or fredettemassage@fuse.net.

Our Cincinnati dates can be found at www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes .

Bamboo class filling up

Looks as if my Bamboo-fusion class the weekend of March 28-29 may fill up. If all deposits come in as they're supposed to, we'll only have one spot remaining for class.

If you're tempted to join us, give me a call or email. Contact information can be found at www.affinitymassages.com .
