Spring and Fall Myomassology Massage Training Programs Run Annually

We offer 2 Myomassology programs per year at Cape Chin, on Ontario’s scenic Bruce Peninsula, in April and September. Each program runs for 6 months, with students attending our residential retreat for one week (7 straight days each month) from Monday morning though the following Sunday afternoon.

There are 6 Modules of study to complete prior to graduation. The first being an easy home study component - Anatomy & Physiology. This is completed at home using a learning system which incorporates an ‘easy to read’ glossy text book loaded with colourful illustrations, an accompanying work book and CD. This allows flexibility for study time. The reading component is so necessary in this type of study and is best completed at home.

The remaining 5 modules are completed at our retreat-style centre at Cape Chin, on the beautiful Bruce Peninsula. Instruction Periods consist of 7 straight days of hands-on, in-class hours each month - Monday through Sunday. Each 7 day training session includes a Massage component plus other Modalities each week such as Aromatherapy Oil Blending for Massage, Reflexology, CranioSacral Therapy, Pregnancy Massage (includes Moxibustion to turn Mal-Positioned and Breech Babies plus Acupressure Analgesic Points for use During Labour), Acupressure & Tuina Chinese Medical Massage, Contraction Release Therapy (CRT), Leg & Hip Balancing, Traditional Chinese Fire Cupping & Cupping Massage, Chair Massage and Full-Body Paraffin Therapy. Classes commence at 10 am each day and finish at 5 pm. Students time is their own before and after class to explore the area’s many hiking trails, beaches, quaint fishing harbours, or simply relax with a book in one of our hammocks on site. Immersion in this type of hands-on training over 7 straight days each month allows the student to focus on their studies and increases their knowledge, technique, transition, flow and skill levels considerably. Students are given assignments and must practice what they have learned in the interim periods at home between classes each month.
