T spheres® are innovative and unique self-massage balls born from over 15 years of research & development. This natural way to relieve pain from the body uses the two most scientifically researched alternative methods for stress relief. The infusion of aromatherapy essential oils into purified, perfectly weighted organic rubber compound has never been accomplished before; making t spheres® the only massage ball with both beneficial attributes.

The t spheres concept was developed while traveling with massage clients on tour. Stephanie Whittier LMT, CST needed to take care of herself – tennis balls and other rubber balls were not satisfactory to release trigger points and she started to play with different types and sizes of a varied group of rubber balls – this is when she came up with the compound that is the t spheres massage ball. Always interested in aromatherapy she came up with a way to combine the two in a patent pending process – no other massage ball can accomplish this, this product is truly unique.

Each travel bag comes with a spray-top re-infuser and simple ‘how to use’ pictorial instructions.

“T spheres® are a great tool for therapists who want to prevent RSI and have a long, healthy career”

Unique and Exciting Exploration of your chakras and aura

            EXPLORING CHAKRAS-Nov.12 & 13 9AM-4PM, Lafayette, La.

                     $225 includes 2 aura photos and lunch-12 CE hours

When our chakras (energy centers) are in balance, we function at a much higher rate of health and well being.  An exploration of the energy field will assist in learning about any imbalances that may contribute to problems in our lives and how we can return to a state of balance.

This knowledge is valuable in understanding the mind, body connection with our families, our clients and our selves. An energetic technique using light touch will be learned during this 2day class.

Aura photos will be taken before the class starts and after having energy work done the second day.  Amazing transformations!

www.SynergisticCenter.com

This class will give you a toolkit of suggestions, techniques and practices that will give you a deeper, and richer, relationship to life. 

                           Personal transformations are possible!

OPEN TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES!
