collaborate, support and grow together... Amanda Ross
Dear former students, and others; as promised I've created this page so that we can share resources, events and help each other along the way.
Essential oil:
Every semester I'm asked to provide my recommendation for essential oil. As discussed I stick to Gritman, in Friendswood TX. I first came to know this business in 2004 when I signed up for a crystal massage CEU course at their studio. To this day they offer some of the best CEU classes in the area and have a terrific yet small storefront at the location in Friendswood. www.gritman.com
Please note, that your map software will get you close to the address, however, you'll need to look for the "cutout in the hedge" to find the studio then "ring the large brass bell" near the entrance. I purchase the gallon-sized fractionated coconut oil as a permanent staple, the professional discount can't be beaten! Cheers!
General massage therapy supplies:
Okay, believe it or not, I really like to shop with Massage Warehouse. www.massagewarehouse.com I buy in quantity so often for my classes, then, add in my own supplies for massage, and just for fun a few personal items as well. Free shipping is a common promotion with this company and if you order you will receive a catalog with extra discounts and even free CEU suggestions inside. This site services spa needs as well, so there are plenty of moisturizing masks and muds and goodies to choose from.
The six healing sounds of Qigong:
Most semesters I'm able to share this with everyone, students will later text and ask for this resource so I decided to add it here.
Over the years I've met several in our profession that have a morning practice, to help ease the demands of the job. If you use this resource please do consider buying his book!
