POTENTIATE YOUR THERAPEUTIC COMPETENCE WITH SKILLS THAT STIMULATE THE BRAIN’S NEUROPLASTICITY. LEARN TO INTRODUCE NEW NEURAL INFORMATION AND ACTIVATE POSITIVE NEUROMUSCULAR CHANGES IN YOUR CLIENTS, ALL WHILE SUPPORTING YOUR OWN SELF-CARE.

Learn the theory and techniques to complement your massage treatments by:

• reducing or eliminating the potential of massage therapist burnout and/or related injuries;

• preparing the client's body for deep work with less strain; and

• developing, sharing and transmitting mindfulness in action.

Many of the concepts explored in this workshop were developed almost 100 years ago and have been used to manage symptoms of conditions as serious as Polio, MS, and Parkinson’s. Moreover, the method includes the development and application of certain self-observation capabilities which are necessary to ensure the efficiency of the techniques and result in direct benefits to the therapist.

Somatic Mindfulness is a unique and evolving form of therapeutic, somatic touch that explores the body-mind connection through mindful, intentional touch, and shared, mental (and/or verbal) connection through the medium of the body/mind. It is highly effective in promoting flexibility, stability, freedom and greater body awareness by releasing habitual holding or tension patterns in the mind and body. Other important effects include clarity of mind and reduced stress and/or anxiety. This therapy induces deep relaxation, can be part of a rehabilitation program. It can help enhance sports or artistic performance. It’s an experience that progressively and effortlessly transforms body and movement perceptions through new positive sensations.

It is a form of embodied presence that delivers attuned, heartful touch that reaches the mind through desirable sensations in the body and offers the possibility of transformation to both therapist and client.
