As you prepare for your final month at ASMY, is there anything you hope to learn or gain in your final month?

*In my final month at ASMY I hope to gain as many new skills as possible … and to also seize each moment to open to the process of self discovery that has continued to unfold for me throughout this entire journey! It has been amazing and I do not take one second for granted!

 

*I hope to gain more practice integrating the massage modalities I have learned. It’s fun to find ways for very different styles to come together in one cohesive flow.

 

What skills do you find the most rewarding that have enriched your life since attending ASMY?

*Oh gosh … Pripo has proved to be and absolute joy and blessing for me. I love what I have learned in each of the modalities so far. The awakening to my body and physical/body awareness I have gained since attending ASMY … and how this has allowed me to process some emotional stuff from waaaay back has been incredibly enriching to my life! I was a psychotherapist prior to pursuing massage … and I have spent over 20 + years working on myself and helping others with their personal process … and the curriculum at ASMY has been one of the most important and valuable things I have ever done for myself!

 

*Because I tend to be a left-brained logical person, I don’t know that I would necessarily call this a skill of mine (yet!), but I have appreciated experiencing and trying my hand at the more subtle qualities of massage. Intention, mindfulness, energy work…it comes in many forms, but it’s what the therapist skillfully includes in their practice mentally and emotionally that makes the difference between a good massage and a great massage.

 

Do you have a favorite class or memory during your time at ASMY?

*Everything I have experienced at ASMY has contributed to beautiful memories. The instructors have been amazing. My classmates are all so unique and amazing. Marion Stone has been with us the most consistently and has had the daunting task of teaching is SO much anatomy and physiology!! She is incredibly patient and so very knowledgeable! I respect her immensely and appreciate her commitment to our learning of this enormous “body” of material! I also love and enjoy beyond words Shala’s energy anatomy class. My absolute all time favorite class of ALL of the ASMY curriculum was when we did the energy anatomy class on (I believe) the fire chakra … and we had blindfolds on while moving to the music. WOW!! It was so amazing and freeing.

Also … daily yoga has been a very important and integral component of our education at ASMY. I feel stronger, healthier, more flexible, and have the body mechanics (because of yoga) to help me stay healthy as I pursue massage as a career.
*I can’t pick a favorite class. Anatomy and Energy Anatomy were probably two of my favorites, along with Deep Tissue and Thai.

 

Have you made any post massage school plans for your future as a massage therapist, or your future in the school of life?

*I have not “officially” made any plans yet … but UNofficially I am planning on pursuing additional training in lymph drainage massage and working with scar tissue. I have an interest in also increasing my knowledge of Thai, Myofascial Release and Shiatsu. I am looking forward to continuing what ASMY has brought to life in me.

 

*I don’t have any post-graduation plans set in stone yet, though I have a few ideas. First priority is taking the national exam, of course. Then I will either take some time to travel or pursue further training in Thai…or both! After that I plan to open my own private practice to offer yoga instruction and massage therapy.

Come to our Massage School for Massage Certification in MediCupping™

Join us at the Asheville School of Massage and Yoga for a 22 CE hour MediCupping Practitioner’s Certification course with Annie Garic, October 26th-28th. Receive the Early Registration Discount if you sign up by September 28th! This class will have a high level of hands-on work, so students can expect the unexpected!

MediCupping™ therapy utilizes glass or plastic cups to create suction of the body surface. Movement of the cups over the skin using a variety of techniques facilitates joint mobilization and soft tissue release. The suction can reach deep into soft tissue or can work superficially to pull inflammation and toxins toward the surface so the skin and lymphatic system can readily eliminate them. Scar tissues often release quickly as well. For more information on the class at our massage school, click here: http://ashevillemassageschool.org/medicupping/
