Focus on Fascia Deep Mobilization Instructor: Frances Nicolais ”A great class – lots of bodywork – a two-day intensive from which I learned techniques that were immediately put into my practice.  A fabulous compliment to Deep Spa, Deep Tissue, and probably MFR.  My “deep” clients really love it!” Alice Marie Frances, Burbank, Ca. ”Deep Mobilization was a great class for all modalities. It will enhance a Swedish, deep tissue, also MFR. I felt more shifts from this class then any single class I've taken previously. I was sore - in a good way! I feel more open and more movement. I've already been using it on clients and am receiving great feedback from clients.” Carla Epstein, So. Pasadena, Ca. ”The work I received in class helped my whole structure change. My hips, knees and ankles shifted so I am finally walking on my feet evenly. My “bad” cholesterol dropped significantly, as did my high blood pressure, and my entire body gained an entire inch of height!” Doyle Smith, Pasadena “I really enjoyed the 2 day Deep Mobilization class taught by my favorite teacher, Frances Nicolais. I have been practicing massage for 18 years, and was looking for a new approach to deep tissue that didn't wear on my body. At 5'2", most of my clients are larger than me, and sometimes it's a challenge to penetrate. By learning this new technique, the focus is on the clients allowing themselves to soften the tissue as I lean in and move ever so slowly. I am now getting a once a week return deep tissue client who is amazed at the results. Another aspect of this MFR based work is the unlocking of stored trauma that can be accessed and released from the muscles. As a receiver, I was able to overcome a chronic shoulder pain that actually originated from the front rib, which was discovered during my first full treatment with Frances. Being able to explore the connection of emotion and physical pain, and guiding clients to release these energies - is truly fascinating work!” Meg Aguilar, Glendale For Calendar Click Here To top of page Aromatherapy Program | Chair Massage Program  | Deep Tissue Program | Energy Program | Focus on Fascia Program Introduction & Philosophy | Instructor Profiles | Admission Applications Massage Therapy Programs | Advanced Electives Recommended Reading & Resources| Schedules & Events | Testimonials | Contact Info | Links | Calendar
