Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute Newsletter Winter 2010
BTI Congratulates Erick Hudson for a year of rave reviews from students and clients alike.
 
AGreyMeridian2009 marks Erick's first year as Level II instructor, coteaching with John Harris and Mary Sullivan, in Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Barefoot and Sports. In 2010, he will be bringing Tui Na, a classic Asian style of massage to SBBTI.  Erick is a graduate of our 1000 hr program, with a tremendous capacity to bridge both structural and energetic approaches to bodywork.  We are thrilled to have Erick amongst our faculty.
 
"Two days ago I got a session from Erick Hudson . I feel so much better. He cleared out my Liver and Gall Bladder channels and did some Deep Tissue in my neck. It was incredible, my whole face got really hot, my left leg was vibrating, like someone put a tuning fork to it. At one point, I did a lot of coughing.  Before my session, I was losing lots of hair on my left side, where the Gall Bladder channel flows around the ear. I haven't had (any hair loss) since. I feel like a big weight got lifted from me. Erick's intutition and energy work is just amazing. It is much more than just a massage!"
Sarah Kreitzer,SBBTI 550 student

"I wanted to inform you on my feeling in regards to the anatomy class I just attended as well as its instructor. Erick Hudson demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject and had a way about him that invited a learning atmosphere, He made what can be dry and boring subject into one that kept our attention. He is very knowledgeable on this subject and was able to answer all questions that were asked of him. Erick used visual aids and even printed handouts for each student. That was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to take another class from him. His calm and understanding way about him, made learning possible and I thank him for that."
Barry Sigman, respiratory therapist, SBBTI 550 graduate
