CLASS FOCUS: Qigong movements - these simple, repetitive movements enhance flexibility, strength, and general presence in our bodies. Qigong moves are foundational to tai chi, like the alphabet is foundational to reading and writing. Practicing qigong exercises prepare us to do tai chi as well as other everyday movements like walking.
All classes listed here are continuing education classes for professional massage therapists. Occasionally people who do massage non professionally also join the classes. These classes are taught by Barbara Helynn Heard unless otherwise noted. Lomilomi Fundamentals ~ 32 CE ~The Lomilomi Fundamentals 4 day class series teaches a 90 minute, full body lomilomi protocol using the Awareness Massage approach.
Each participant leaves with a positive, life transforming experience of connecting with each other and with our planet. My intent is to inspire both novice and experienced massage therapists to further develop awareness and presence within our own bodies, minds & spirits. I am passionate about helping my students develop sensitive palpation skills as well as ways to most effectively use body weight to deliver deep yet gentle massage.
I have created this lomilomi immersion program to pass on to others some of the profound experiences I've been gifted with by my own special teachers over the past six decades. My growth in immersive settings such as weekend, week-long, and even month-long workshops has consistently been transformative, amazing, and generally joyful for me.
I offer a mentorship program for massage therapists who have experienced massage from me, and who wish to develop the skills I share. This program is intended to be a 4 year progression to which you commit a year at a time. You will do as many of the activities listed below each year as you are able tor.

I recently had a first time session with Barbara Helynn Heard. Arrived pretty tight and much pain & feeling very anxious to get started. Barbara knows her stuff. She is well organized and created the environment that supported my expectations.
She took her time and went step by step to address my issues and my body as a whole. It was a very pleasurable and a beneficial experience & left feeling very relaxed and on a journey of healing. She was great!
BTW her website is very informative and actually answered all of my questions which I like prior to going. It reduced the risk in my expectations
