You will learn how to perceive this, balance it in one another, and how to balance it in our clients. You will learn how to apply these techniques through hands-on massage.

The second day, we will add crystal and stone energies to those techniques in a hands-on way. We will cover things like gritting, massage tools, setting up a room, and learning how to clean and charge crystals. You will learn to perceive which stones to use and how to apply them.
