This is a masterclass for massage therapists and bodyworkers who want to dive deep into their intuition and co-create an unforgettable experience with fellow therapists. Learn new and unique massage techniques to share with your clients.
Content
A Four Hands Massage is a massage where two people give one person a massage at the same time. The fluidity and connection of those giving the massage can bring those receiving an incredible sensory experience where the brain simply must let go and surrender. This is a magical place to be, often resulting in deep relaxation and healing for both body and mind.
Giving the massage can also be an great experience with techniques that are only possible with a massage partner. To co-create a magical massage with another person can bring a deep sense of joy, awareness and inspiration. Working truly from the heart connecting with both the person on the table and the other masseur.
This training day will be rich in both new massage techniques and the exploration of diving deeper into the principles of what makes a meaningful and unforgettable Four Hands Massage Experience. We will dive into the world of intuition, trust, surrender and flow. You will leave the masterclass feeling confident and eager to start offering Four Hands Massage with your clients.
We will be working in groups of three with plenty of opportunity practice in both giving and receiving. The day will be accompanied with a hand out to take home with you to support your ongoing Four Hands Massage practice.
