Advanced Californian Massage Seminar
Exploring depth in your practice:
the earth element
How to incorporate more depth into your practice in a natural, effective way without tiring yourself out.
This is an advanced Californian massage training. We will deepen your practice with the earth element without incorporating any new ‘techniques’. While we will rely on movements based on myofascial release (deep tissue) and Deep Bodywork® work, the ultimate goal of these seminars is that you can incorporate these movements in a fluid and adapted way into your practice.
If this work interests you and you wish to go deeper, the natural evolution in the curriculum would be training in deep tissue and/or trigger points.
And finally, this is the way I like to work, that my clients love and that allows me to work effortlessly and be as efficient as possible in my sessions.
I have not discovered anything new. I simply integrate Californian massage as a base along with movements that allow me to incorporate more depth and less effort into my sessions.
We will end each seminar with a complete integration.
What will you learn and what will you get from this course?
Here you will learn how to incorporate weight into your sessions, using the force of gravity to your advantage and in an organic way.
In this way we allow our client to rest in this intensity.
For a massage to be effective, the quality of the contact is essential, as well as delivering the right pressure that our patient needs.
In this way we not only activate the parasympathetic system, promoting calmness and reducing the stress response, but we also induce states of deep relaxation as all our attention is focused on the point of contact and the sensation felt.
Requirements
- Have completed the basic and intermediate level in a Californian massage school (or be certified in Esalen® massage).
- Be actively practicing.
- If you are practicing professionally but are not training in a ‘conscious touch’ specialty, please contact the school.
