Val Guin Bio

With over 30 years of mind and body therapy experience, the scope of Val Guin’s extensive career, as a private practitioner of the healing arts, international educator, program administrator and as the innovative force behind the revolutionary “Forearm Dance™ technique” is unquestionable.

Having attended numerous prestigious organizations (IPSB, Emperor’s college, Yo San University, Energenesis Institute, and the Kinesiology Institute, to name but a few) Guin has trained under the tutelage of some of the most innovative and inspirational leaders in the field of wellness and holistic health.

· Best selling author Jack Canfield

· 38^th generation Chinese medicine/acupuncture masters, Dao Shing Ni and Mao Shing Ni,

· Body worker and somatic counselor, Tiahna Skye,

· Reichian, postural integration and polarity therapy expert, John Davis,

· Holistic health pain relief expert, John Maguire.

As an instructor at the renowned Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing, (IPSB), for over 24 years, Guin solidified her reputation as the “teacher to the teachers.” by creating “Forearm Dance™”. Described by MTJ magazine as an instructional massage program that is as “invigorating for the practitioner, as it is healing for the client” Guin’s unique methodology combines efficient body mechanics that use the forearm and olecranon as tools, giving therapists a greater freedom of movement, which increases strength, while placing less strain on the body.

Guin is a founding member of the Santa Monica Center of Healing arts where she maintains her private practice. With a client list built solely upon personal recommendation, professional athletes, musicians, celebrity fans, chiropractors, powerhouse execs, physical therapists, orthopedists and housewives’ alike not only call on Guin to utilize her expertise in successfully addressing and treating a wide range of chronic mind, body/movement injuries and imbalances, but also for her ability to apply her experience in an understandable and enjoyable manner.

Bringing together a gentle blend of touch, energy and movement that focuses on developing an ever evolving awareness of the physical, spiritual and emotional body psychology of each client, Guin works to make each person feel cared for, understood and at ease with their particular therapy process. “Working in partnership with each client according to his/her personal needs, requirements and comfort levels is crucial in re-establishing optimal health”, says Guin “However, client responsibility and participation are also key components of my treatment process… educating clients in mind/body awareness/mechanics enables them to notice and feel how daily activities affect their state of health, which enables them to adjust accordingly”

Approved by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, (NCBTM), to offer CE hours, Guin conducts training seminars across the country and abroad. She is frequently invited to present seminars and instruction at AMTA and other massage training events. Covering numerous therapeutic body, mind and movement related modalities, Guin’s classes encourage students to use their whole body of knowledge while enjoying the learning process.

Testimonial From Massage Practitioner & Teacher Trainee, Luci

When I first began practicing the Forearm Dance technique I noticed my body was less tired and I was able to work on twice as many clients in a day.

At the spa, after working on 5 clients back to back, I feel energized, not exhausted. My private practice has doubled and the feedback from my clients has been sensational.

The Forearm Dance technique has changed my whole approach to bodywork. It has given me the confidence and ability to achieve depth and specificity in my work without hurting my body in the process. I never thought massage could be so much fun!

Testimonial From Massage Practitioner & Teacher Trainee, Debra

When faced with the reality of seeing 20 or more clients per week, I found myself with sore hands, tight forearms, and ultimately a shoulder injury. Working with Val and integrating the Forearm Dance into every session I give has allowed me not only to overcome my injuries, but also to find greater openness and freedom in my body as a whole.

With each Forearm Dance class I take or assist, I add new layers to my understanding and knowledge.

Where I once sacrificed my own wellbeing to give a client the desired pressure, I now have the tools to effectively satisfy my clients while actually improving my own wellbeing. Val teaches you to use your entire body, from your feet, through your pelvis and up and out through your chest and arms, to lift and open the stagnant tissue in your clients, instead of smashing it downwards, creating a virtuous circle of energy and release.

Testimonial From Massage Practitioner & Teacher Trainee, Samuel

Forearm Dance has aided me in my practice by helping me to work as long as I want, by being effective in my work while comfortable and relaxed in my body.

Taking Forearm Dance has enabled me to enhance sessions for my clients. My work has taken on a new level of depth and specificity while being smooth, fluid, and seamless.

For me personally, Forearm Dance has shifted my daily awareness of my place in space, of my posture and movement. Overall, Forearm Dance has given me a foundation and the means to go beyond many traditional limitations of massage techniques to explore new territory, and to chart my own path....and I'm having fun doing it!

Testimonial From Massage Practitioner & Teacher Trainee, Nami

After just one year of being a full time massage therapist at a spa, I began feeling tendonitis in my forearms, tightness in my shoulders, and soar thumbs. I knew I had a gift and wanted to help others but I couldn't continue hurting my own body.

With my Forearm Dance skills, I confidently know that I can be with and help clients from the most sensitive fascia, to the most dense and tight fascia, without sacrificing my own body. Forearm Dance is absolutely brilliant!

It's rare to find a teacher with such incredible skill, wisdom, and a presence who is willing and wanting to share this with other practioners.

Testimonial From Massage Student, Susan

I work at the Four Seasons Spa and also have a private practice.

One of the most amazing results of taking Val's seminars, is that after a day of working at the spa and then doing home massage I am not tired!

Val has taught me how to be easier in my body. The ease in my body truly comes out in the massage.

It's FUN to do bodywork again! I have re-found my joy, passion and love for doing bodywork, and I want to share it with all my clients! People are now requesting me at the spa! I've taken two of Val's seminars and plan on taking more!

Speaking About Emotions

No institution, "movement," family or friends—not even Abraham—is better qualified to direct you. Your emotions are your very own GPS (Global Positioning System), a rock-steady, unfailing and unerring "personal navigational device" to get you where you want to go.

"All is well. You did not come here to fix a broken world. The world is not broken. You came here to live a wonderful life. And if you can learn to relax a little and let it all in, you will begin to see the universe present you with all that you have asked for." – Abraham (The Law Of Attraction)
