Greetings!
For the month of September we are offering Shiatsu and Full Body Reflex to our clinic menu, alongside our Trigger Point and Swedish offerings. If you are ready to make some fundamental shifts in your vitality consider a Shiatsu or Full Body Reflex session designed to jump start your vital organs and their corresponding meridian channels. When the circuits that power your vital organs and muscles are switched on, everything in your body works better, from how you stand, walk and move your body, to how you process food and how you process feelings.
Shiatsu sessions are traditionally done on the floor, through clothing or sheets, with rhythmic acupressure applied to the meridian channels and muscles. Full Body Reflex sessions  are a blend of Acupressure, Touch for Health Balances, Cross Fiber Deep Tissue and Abdominal massage, with recipient on the massage table. Both are deeply relaxing and therapuetic.

What's Possible with Shiatsu
Relief from Menstral Cramps
My menstral cramps come in the form of lower back ache. During my last period, Zack gave me a Shiatsu session to balance my liver and spleen circuits. He began with compression strokes on my back where I ached, but it wasn't until he got to the liver and spleen points on my legs that my cramps were relieved. That is when the ache stopped and it last for several days.
Sierra Bingham, current SBBBTI 550 student and therapist
After receiving a full hour floor shiatsu session, I was so relaxed and in such a mellow state that I felt both aware, yet floating. Instead of my usual 7 mile freeway drive home, I took surface streets
...slowly...calmly...observing details of the city I usually don't notice. That sense of observant well being stayed with me for a very long time.

What's Possible with Full Body Reflex
Weight Loss and Elimination About 12 hours after receiving the abdominal work in the Full Body Reflex session my body started eliminating. Since then my body eliminates after every meal almost instantly. When I shared with my girlfriends what was happening they all decided they wanted me to give them abdominal sessions. They are now also having elimination on a regular basis without the use of over the counter products. The Full Body Reflex work has also gotten me off my weight loss plateau. I am now on track with my goals and am losing about 2 pounds per week without dieting - just eating healthy regular meals.
Eve Roma, current SBBTI 550 student and therapist
My stomach had been bothering me for several years - like it wasn't in its proper place. I asked Katie to pull it down in class. The next day, after she pulled my stomach down, applied the liver pump and "mouse bites" to my intestines I had three days of more than usual activity that included elimination of old mucuous deposits from the intestinal walls and parasite-looking critters. It was a great relief. It looked just the like the stuff that came out during my colonics - old stale stuff that needed to come out. My belly is one of the bigger areas of pain in my body; now I feel much better and inspired to take more care of myself.

Trigger Point
Relief for Chronic Lower Back Pain
SBBTI grad takes Trigger Point to the Spas and Casinos
BTI is continuing education and support for my career. I am always referring my clientele and bodyworkers to BTI. It is the most healing and integrated of all the Santa Barbara massage schools. When you take the Trigger Point Course, you not only receive training, but you receive hours upon hours of corrective bodywork. This particular course with John Harris eliminated my chronic low-back pain. BTI is THE radical massage school you are looking for, and the school responsible for many people's success in this field!

What's Possible with Bars 
Multilevel Transformation from wheel chair confinement, OCD, anxiety, depression, obesity, PMS, acid reflux, insomnia and chronic pain to high level function and ease
After receiving Bars my anxiety disappeared. The relief in my body was so immediate that pain became an odd experience rather than at every waking moment. I began to sleep without medication. After each Bars session I had so much more energy. I would get so much more done in a day. The mood swings, heart palpations and acid reflux disappeared as well. Prior to my cancer surgery I would have intense PMS. My husband would "run my Bars" and I would have relief mentally and physically. Following my Bars training I shed 200 lbs without dieting and went from being confined to a wheelchair to being physically active- walking, gardening, and even dancing. "
Audrey Lynette, Bars Facilitator
12 years ago Audrey was diagnosed with OCD, anxiety, depression, acute obesity, chronic pain syndrome and 6 years later cancer. She weighed 450 lbs, was confined to a wheel chair and living on a disability pension. Concurrent with the healing of her body, Audrey has facilitated hundreds of people in private sessions and group classes internationally. She teaches Bars, Access Consciousness and Right Body for You.

FREE INTRO
Receive a free mini-Bars session
A full Bars session comprises 32 points on the head that correspond to the electromagnetic component of thought. When held with light touch contact they increase blood circulation to the brain and vital organs and release the electromagnetic charge held around stored memories, judgements and considerations surrounding key areas of life such as money, control, sex, body or aging.
We invite you to join us in accessing greater peace and ease in your body/mind. Learn simple questions you can ask to begin shifting your own patterns and ways of being and receiving.

Shiatsu has really diversified my aproach to bodywork, allowing me to tap into the more subtle and energetic - my hands acting as tools of perception. It has truly been a beartiful experience, both the giving and the receiving!
