Recover from burnout. Rediscover how to work sustainably. Rekindle the love for your practice and purpose. Reinforce your techniques with somatic touch in your next session.

Physical and emotional burnout and injury are prevalent among massage therapists. Somatic Mindfulness bridges somatics and bodywork, teaching self-care as a professional skill, making the therapist’s own wellbeing the method for creating the conditions for healing, intuitive insight, and clarity of purpose.

Through Attuned Touch, each workshop invites discovery rather than direction, allowing the body to remember how it already knows to heal.

In EXPANSION our responsive hands invite the breath to return to its natural fullness and flow, allowing the torso, back, arms, and shoulders to remember their capacity for strength and openness.

The Curriculum: Skills You’ll Walk Away With

• how to work sustainably
• somatic touch techniques
• techniques for the therapist’s hands to invite the breath to return to its natural fullness and flow, allowing the torso, back, arms, and shoulders to remember their capacity for strength and openness
