Introduction to Holistic Therapeutic Massage
Holistic massage is a bodywork modality that goes beyond the physical symptoms, putting the awareness in the importance and power of touch and how the body holds past and present stress. It works through the application of different massage techniques that promote relaxation in both musculoskeletal and nervous system level at the same time that focused on areas of tension and tightness in the body.
This weekend workshop is an introduction to our Joint Holistic Therapeutic Massage and Remedial & Sports Massage Diplomas.
If you are considering taking the massage diploma course, you want to learn to give a great massage to family and friend or you are looking for a refresher in your massage skills, this is the perfect taster day.
Course description
In this experiential weekend, Simonetta will demonstrate and support you to learn the fundamental techniques and benefits of therapeutic massage in different parts of the body, how massage affects the body’s stress response and how to support the receiver during the process.
Most of the day will be spent giving and receiving massage.
"Simonetta's Introduction Course struck a balance between teaching an understanding of the physical and the mental aspects of massage. Approaching massage with both in mind encouraged me to start to develop a sense of intuition, essential in being able to locate and relieve tensions. Focus over the course was on correct posture, learning how to be comfortable with touch/ each other and basic relevant human anatomy. It felt like a holistic teaching and I left full of interesting thoughts, a desire to learn more and some very useful skills!" VB, Edinburgh
