Rose McPherren' BiograpahyCertifications
Personal AccomplishmentsI have spent the past 10 yrs. assisting groups of students in other countries, teaching them Tai Chi, Chi Kung & Yoga on Eco Adventures in exotic locations, visiting ruins and exploring aspects of personal growth through these arts. Spring of 2009, I lived in Nepal for two months assisting a healing art school called, "Himalayan Healers School of Massage" in teaching the Untouchables Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung and body-work skills. I have also, taken a wide variety of Workshops in both Movement Therapy and Restorative Yoga Therapy and offer personalized programs for any of these studies. Personal PhilosophyThe Body is a living organism constantly adapting and changing within its structure, through the life force of the breath, true health and healing of the body is possible. "Embrace each precious moment in the gift of life and be the change you want to see in the world".• Craniosacral Therapy (CST) - The practitioner gently palpates the cerebrospinal fluid to assist clients in healing from trauma to the system of the body composed of membranes that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Practitioners utilize CST to loosen and release restrictions or "blockages" in the body that can contribute to pain and dysfunction; removing such blockages improves the functioning of the central nervous system and body as a whole. CST is effective at treating a number of problems, including pain, headaches, central nervous system disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, tension and more. Proponents of CST also claim that it aids in improving mental clarity and emotional well-being. • Lomi Lomi - Lomi Lomi literally translated means "rub." It is a form of Hawaiian bodywork that developed out of the Hawaiian philosophy of Huna; that is, a belief in harmony and balance in all areas of physical and emotional health. Practitioners work intuitively with clients using their hands, elbows, and forearms to apply long, gliding strokes, rhythmic movements similar to a dance, with even and connected pressure. This technique is very nurturing; practitioners acknowledge that love and a pure heart is important to the process. • Sports Massage - Sports massage therapies are both preventative and therapeutic, and used for athletes during warm ups, training and competition to treat and/or aid in the prevention of injuries; help improve flexibility, range of motion, and performance; and aid in mental clarity. • Swedish Massage - Regarded as the most common form of massage, Swedish massage involves a combination of five basic strokes and concentrates on the muscles and connective tissues of the body for improved circulation, relaxation, pain relief, and overall health maintenance and well-being. • Prenatal Massage - Prenatal, or pregnancy, massage uses gentle techniques to help alleviate some of the ailments associated with pregnancy, including lower back, neck and shoulder pain; fatigue; joint tenderness; and stretch marks. Prenatal massage can help improve circulation, promote stress reduction and relaxation, and much more.
