This is an introductory class on using herbs from your backyard. Learn when and what to harvest and how to store the herbs. I will explain (and provide) basic recipes for making tees, tinctures, and infusions, using water, oil, vinegar or alcohol.

I am a strong believer in self-help and passionate about helping others to help themselves.

My class is for parents, care givers, couples or anyone else who wants to include massage into their holistic, home wellness concept.

You will learn massage techniques you can use at home to promote relaxation, relieve stress and ease muscle aches.

Basic anatomy and body mechanics are important to learn, to help, not to hurt, yourself and others.

You will practice different modalities hands-on at the massage table verses in the bed, chair and on the floor to imitate the home environment.

Practicing techniques especially tailored to address conditions discussed and chosen by the group, are what makes this class just right for you.

The class will work in rotating pairs; however, it is unnecessary to register with a partner.

six Wednesdays, October 11 - November 15, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

This is a venture I am very exited about. Sorry guys, but this one is for women only. It is about getting a night off once in a while and your thoughts off your everyday stress. The idea is to create a pleasant, stress-free and enjoyable environment where to relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine (or whatever you prefer) and the company of other women; and to laugh, learn and share everything the group has to offer.

The meetings are scheduled as a monthly get-together on every second Wednesday of each month.

Reservation is required. Please call or text 812-430-0250 or email impressionbodyworks@gmail.com

This is an opportunity to practice your body mechanics, ask questions and get help with new massage techniques and exchange ideas with other massage therapists, students for professional or personal use. 

We meet every first Wednesday of every month.

The cost is $10 per evening for students, $5 for massage therapists. 

Reservation is required. Please call or text 812-430-0250 or email impressionbodyworks@gmail.com

Please bring a set of sheets and lotion.

To change old habits and teach our body (and brain) new patterns takes time. The wish was therefore to meet on a regular basis and establish each time a little bit more awareness of our body mechanics, posture and movements.

I offer Saturday morning and Wednesday evening sessions to choose from.

We meet every second Saturday of each month from 10 – 11:30 am and every fourth Wednesday from 6:30 – 8 pm. 

The cost is $10 per session. You can come to as many as you like. 

Reservation is required. Please call or text 812-430-0250 or email impressionbodyworks@gmail.com

You can sign up for the USI class or contact me for other opportunities. With a minimum of six people you can start your own group.
