Monique Derouen, Mind Body Coach - Somatic Massage

Lymphatic & Venous Drainage

Learn powerful techniques to support the body’s self-cleaning systems. In this course we will review the anatomy and function of the lymphatic and venous systems, and teach gentle, effective techniques to encourage fluid movement and reeducate the body to keep the fluids moving. We’ll focus on commonly restricted return pathways especially where venous blood flow is impaired.

Why take this class? Learn to think outside the muscular system and work with the body rather than against it.

Cupping Class Essentials

Essentials of Cupping

We will cover everything you need to begin using cupping therapy safely in your practice, including treatment flow and body mechanics, as well as ideas for treating specific issues.

We’ll practice using and applying cups across the whole body, giving you the confidence to add this into a full session to supplement your existing toolbox of work. This class will help you to confidently incorporate cupping therapy and give your clients the best care, with a focus on safety and good medical sanitation practices. I will provide all of the cups for the class, and have a variety of cups for you to try out. This class will focus on the use of soft silicone and the hard plastic cups with a manual pump.

Eddy Pace, LMT Instructor in Spokane

Hello! I'm Eddy Pace, and I've been a licensed massage therapist in WA state for over 15 years, and a certified personal trainer through NASM for 7 years. I've practiced massage therapy full time for most of that time. I'm currently enrolled in a Masters of Science in Kinesiology through A.T. Still University. I'm also a musician, an avid music lover, and I love my family.

Ever since I graduated from massage school, I've always been most interested in medical and orthopedic massage, and helping people minimize pain and recover from injuries. Taking continuing education classes is one of my favorite things, and over the years, I've taken many. I also love to watch technique videos and study books on both anatomy and massage therapy techniques and theory.

I'm very passionate about mentoring newer therapists and supporting my colleagues. I was born and raised in Spokane Valley, so I'm proud to serve our Spokane community and bring quality education to our therapists.
