TESTIMONIALS

I cannot believe how much difference the Dynamic Cups have made within my treatment. The benefits are so therapeutic. The kinetic movement techniques provide a deeper release while helping my clients relax.

SFH Dynamic Cupping Testimonial

I wanted to take Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage with Seminars for Health to become more confident in treating pregnant and postpartum women as my college didn’t touch on this at all. I honestly feel that a lot of therapist leave school scared and too nervous to treat pregnant and postpartum women. I actively avoided it. Janine does a great job of dispelling the misinformation that’s out there regarding pregnancy and massage. Her knowledge and experience is vast and fills you with confidence. She showed some great techniques and made sure everyone was super confident with the sidelying positioning, draping and bolstering. The booklet we used and took home is great and really useful. I’ve been taking it with me when I have a maternity or postpartum massage just for reference. It gives you all of the contraindications and cautions to watch out for broken down into trimester as well as safe positioning and techniques to use for each trimester. All in all I feel 100 times more confident since taking the course and I feel like clients feel more cofident in you when you know the right questions to ask and understand the issues facing pregnant and postpartum women. I would highly recommend this course to all therapists! Pregnant women aren’t scary and they need massage and support more than anyone.

That course was beautiful!

Honestly it flowed so smoothly and I felt the meditation was done at the perfect time as a break for the morning.

I am so excited to practice this, find my own flow with it and incorporate it into my practice.

The way you have put it all together is stunning. You have created something magical and the way you deliver the knowledge is easy to accept and absorb.

I am so grateful to be on this mindfulness journey and hope to help share it with the world.
