A new Certification Program in MFR techniques & principles.
I would like to introduce you to the new Certification Program in MFR Techniques & Principles that I have developed and will be offering through the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage. It is our intent to create a program that will encourage therapists to develop a well-rounded base of study on the topic of Myofascial Release and to provide a network of practitioners that are committed to providing the highest quality care in their field. Upon completion of this program, participants will be listed in a “provider’s network” on my website. This network will be promoted for referrals of clients wishing to receive quality Myofascial release treatment.
Certification Requirements and Seminars:
Each of the following seminars must be completed along with the requirements listed below for certification. Each seminar may also be taken individually without completing the certification process.
- We are now able to offer NYS approved CEU’s for PT’s and PTA’s!!
- Multiple seminar discounts available.
- Financing available if eligible.
An Introduction to Myofascial Release Techniques and Principles

The intent of this course is to introduce beginner level concepts and principles that define Myofascial Release as a technique as well as a tool for wellness. The participants will learn about the importance of the fascial system and its role in whole body health.
This “hands-on” workshop will allow the participant an opportunity to develop beginner level tools for the evaluation and treatment of fascial restrictions.
This class is a prerequisite for the New Certification Program in MFR Techniques & Principles - as well as the following classes:
- The Fascial Cranium and Thorax I and II
- The Body-Mind Connection: An Introduction to Myofascial Movement Techniques
- Suggested prerequisite for the Fascial Pelvis Seminar

Course fee: $450.00
CMW student rate: $400.00

The intent of this course is to explore the dural tube, the Cranialsacral system, and the osseous structures of the neck and thorax in relation to the fascial system throughout the body.
This important workshop will help you “unlock” difficult to treat neck, throat, and back pain, headaches, postural asymmetries, and respiratory indications resulting from thoracic imbalances. Myofascial Release, Cranialsacral therapy, and muscle energy techniques will be used in this “hands-on” workshop.
