Electrons Plus is a guided PEMF Therapy that effectively eliminates pain. Like a battery, the human body is electric and is made up of cells that carry voltage. Electrons Plus will allow me to stimulate the body by running an electromagnetic field through my hands to your body, creating a healing process at a cellular level.
Electrons Plus requires skin-to-skin contact in order to enact the healing process. Exposure will be necessary in order to target areas of discomfort. Your body will never be fully exposed, however, athletic clothing or easily accessible clothing is encouraged for easy treatment. Electrons Plus works and feels like a deep tissue massage. Participants are suggested to be hydrated before and after sessions.
Bio: Michael De Hoff is a Human Movement Specialist, Electrons Plus Practitioner, and the owner of Free Flow Training, LLC.

Blend the magic of cannabis with the craft of cooking in this introductory class that will teach you the basics of cooking with cannabis. Held in our demo kitchen, we will show you how to make infused butter and oil to give you the building blocks to include hemp in your dishes!
Decarb & Infuse
Decarboxylation, or decarb for short, is the process of altering the chemical makeup of cannabis to create a potent formula for edibles, oils, and salves. During this class, you’ll learn the decarboxylation process so you can infuse your medical marijuana or hemp flower into foods.
Dosing Edibles
Unless you invest in an at-home THC tester, there’s no way to know exactly how potent your infusion is. You can, however, do a calculation to get a rough estimate of potency. During this session, we’ll go over the process of dosing edibles to ensure safe consumption.*
INSTRUCTOR BIO: As a chronic pain sufferer, related to spine issues and migraines, Heather Kreider a Registered Nurse, knows first-hand how cannabis can help patients live a happier, healthier life.
