Open Pathways Institute for Integrative Massage

Open Pathways Institute for Integrative Massage My clients have given rave reviews since I began incorporating these techniques into their treatment plans. I love Raizelah’s supportive approach to teaching.

Open Pathways is a continuing education school for massage therapists offering programs in Eastern Massage, Acupressure, and Chinese Medicine using essential oils, herbs and dietetics. "Since I have taken classes, Acupressure with Essential Oils and Herbs, from Raizelah, I have a better understanding of how to help my clients and myself with Chinese Medicine based treatments.The techniques I have

learned and am implementing have been proven to be a valuable asset to my practice. I look forward to continuing on this path and adding more to my professional and personal repertoire. I will continue taking classes from her until I have completed her entire series." Tamara McGuirem CA Certified Massage Therapist

Into the Current—where movement, stillness, and nature meet

This 4-day immersive retreat invites you into the rhythm of the river—where yoga, meditation, and rafting come together as one continuous practice.

Each day begins with grounding movement and breath, then carries that awareness onto the water—where the river itself becomes the teacher.
Set in the Salmon River Wilderness—one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the U.S. This experience offers a rare opportunity to unplug, slow down, and reconnect.

There is space here—for quiet, for reflection, for connection, for
adventure, and for deep rest.

No experience needed—just a willingness to be present, and to flow with what unfolds.

A deeper way to understand the body, energy, and healing

This introductory training in Chinese Meridian Massage offers hands-on techniques to working with the body through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine ✨

Through the study of the 12 organ meridians, you’ll begin to see patterns beneath the surface—how tension, emotion, and physical symptoms are all connected through the flow of Chi.

You’ll learn how to locate key acupressure points, regulate Chi flow, and integrate this work into your existing massage practice in a way that supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

This training is for massage therapists looking to expand their skillset, deepen their intuition, and bring a more holistic lens into their work.

Meridian Massage Therapy: A deeper way of working with the body—beyond muscles and into energy

This 3-day training introduces a blend of Chinese Massage and Japanese Shiatsu techniques designed to support the flow of chi through the meridian system.

You’ll learn how to work with the body in a more integrated way—addressing both physical tension and underlying energetic patterns.

This work isn’t about doing more—it’s about feeling more. Listening more. Working with what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

You’ll leave with practical techniques you can immediately bring into your sessions, along with a more holistic lens for understanding your clients’ bodies.
