If video does not load click here. Designed as a "hands on" (pun intended!) instruction for non-professionals who want to learn specific massage techniques to give to their sweetheart, their family and their friends. Participants are introduced to basic massage strokes incorporated into a full body massage in the Esalen and Swedish styles. The result is fantastic opportunities to both receive some strokes while also learning to give a relaxing and healthful massage. Two friends or a couple (the workshop requires a "double occupancy" or two consenting adults) are required for this class. This workshop is supervised by a professional massage instructor and therapist. This initial exposure to massage is a wonderful way to explore the healing power of human touch in a safe, structured environment and professional setting. Please note: this workshop offers training exclusively in therapeutic non-sexual touch. Touch for sexual purposes is outside the bounds of this workshop. Instruction is 3 to 4 hours long (according to participants' needs) and includes a booklet that defines massage terms, gives detailed instructions on massaging the various parts of the body from head to toe, and provides a suggested reading list. All materials, including a massage table, linens and oils are provided. As a bonus, small bottle of my exclusive blend of massage lotion is also included. Please note: due to space constraints, there are only 2 people per workshop, which insures one-on-one instruction. Cost: $125 per person (partner required).
