Joe Lavin Joe will be doing a demo of his Deep Lomi Thai Fusion style of massage, which has earned him and his therapists hundreds of 5-star reviews and won medals at national and international massage competitions. Joe initially developed this style using the relaxing and integrative full-body Hawaiian Lomi styles with dynamic stretches and compressions from Traditional and Table Thai Massage. Then, over the last decade, he has blended in some of the best techniques from many other great bodywork traditions and styles from all over the world. Deep Lomi incorporates the generous use of your forearms, elbows, triceps, and even your shoulders to facilitate extremely long and luxurious strokes that integrate the entire body and does not force you to work on specific areas in isolation from others. The Thai Fusion aspect makes every massage world-class, highly effective, and unforgettable.

Kristin Davis, LMT (she/her) Oregon License 10154 Kirstin graduated from Oregon School of Massage in 2002 with a primary focus on injury recovery massage. In 2017 she transitioned completely to a mat based barefoot massage practice which she calls “Barefoot Fusion.” It began after Kirstin studied Chavutti Thirumal, a traditional Indian massage technique developed over 2,000 years ago. Kirstin added her own spin to this ancient practice making her style completely unique. No one in the world performs massage like Kirstin. She intends to change that by offering Barefoot Fusion trainings. For the past eight years she has been the manager of Massage Naturally, a Portland based studio supporting independent LMT's.

The Emotion Code is the simplest way to get rid of negative emotions stored in the body. Everything in the body is made of energy, including trapped emotions. This negative energy exerts a damaging force on the body, causing pain, emotional problems and imbalances that can lead to dis-ease. By identifying and releasing these trapped emotions, we support your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Accessing Your Subconscious Knowledge Through Muscle Testing Our premise is that the wisdom of the body is not held in the conscious, active mind, but in the subconscious mind, where the record of every experience, thought, feeling, or memory you’ve ever had is stored. We believe the subconscious mind exerts an unseen yet profound influence over how we behave and feel — and it’s also keenly aware of exactly what your body needs to get well. It’s our belief that to access these vast stores of knowledge, we need to bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious. This is where muscle testing comes in.
