This marma balancing treatment uses special points on the body considered “seats of consciousness” and energy gateways, much like the acupuncture points of Chinese medicine. It is an ancient art out of southern India and a part of a full course of study, which can span up to 12 years of training, when used for clinical treatments. Rather than a specific treatment method for any single condition, this protocol constitutes an overall energy balancing treatment for the whole body/mind. It includes almost all 107 marma points, which are gently massaged with Ayurvedic oils.

Course Objectives::
1. Perform a 50-minute full body marma treatment with oil
2. Understand the basic background of Ayurveda and be able to explain the treatments to clients/students

Course Description:
Women’s health is a vast topic that can be confusing and overwhelming. There is a glut of information. However, much of it is conflicting. Compounding this is the fact that research in women’s health is underfunded (according to the NIH) and doctors tend to dissect you into a collection of your parts, rather than seeing you as a whole person. It can be downright frustrating to get to the root causes of your symptoms and imbalances so that you can actually begin to feel better. In this 12-week course, you will learn to listen to and interpret your body’s messages, understand yourself and your relationship to nature, and discover the root causes of your imbalances and how to address them so that you can feel better in your body, and live a more empowered, nourished, and fulfilled life.
