Wellness massage workshop

Want to improve your massage skills? In this focused 2–4 person workshop, you’ll explore the art of somatic wellness massage in theory and practice. Suitable for friends, partners or family members wanting to deepen their attunement through somatic massage.

What to expect

• Grounding and introductions (15 min)
• Somatic wellness massage theory (30 min)
• Hands-on practice, back and neck (60 min, split between you and your massage partner)
• Break (30 min)
• Hands-on practice, legs and arms (60 min, split between you and your massage partner)
  
• Integration and conclusion (15 min)

Over the course of 3h, you'll be introduced to several massage techniques and practice a full-body sequence. While you won't perfect your skills on the spot, you receive a manual to take home and practice further.  

Note that you must attend the workshop in pairs, as you’ll take turns giving and receiving massage. Prices are for two people, meaning it's enough for one person to book one unit. 

What makes this workshop unique

Unlike conventional massage courses, this somatic massage workshop centers on techniques for emotional attunement and nervous system regulation. You’ll learn how to:

• Ground yourself to regulate your massage partner
• Offer touch in a trauma-informed and attuned way
• Massage techniques for parasympathetic nervous system stimulation

This workshop focuses on massage of the back, legs and arms. Upon completion, you may book another massage workshop to learn further techniques, including head and foot massage. If this is you, please indicate this in the comment upon booking. 

Disclaimer

While emotional release is welcome in somatic wellness massage, the workshop is primarily a learning experience. Participants are encouraged to communicate clearly, respect boundaries and uphold consent. To facilitate this, we begin the workshop with a short grounding exercise and introductions. 

The facilitator maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of sexual, emotional or verbal misconduct. The space is designed for learning, trust and safety from beginning to end.
