    SCHEDULE of CLASSES:

    Raindrop Technique Aromatherapy Class by Barbara Lemke, RN, Certified Clinical Aromatherapy Practitioner

    Join us for an experiential class on Raindrop Technique. Raindrop Technique uses highly antimicrobial oils such as oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram and peppermint to reduce inflammation and support the immune system. The oils are applied “Vita Flex Technique” to the feet and back and lightly massaged in a feathering technique. Vita Flex means “vitality through the reflexes”. A healthy body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and proper diet. Raindrop Technique is one tool to help restore a balance that will result in good health. The Raindrop Technique also decreases stress levels, brings comfort and pain relief, improves sleep and relaxation and improves the body’s ability to fight colds and flu.

    You will be applying oils to your feet so bring a towel and wear comfortable clothing. One person will be selected for a Raindrop Technique demonstration.
