Psychosomatic Californian Massage
The annual training program in Californian Massage at Escuela Spazio Masajes® includes 2 levels of Californian massage: basic and intermediate, and is designed so that students can connect with this discipline through a somatic experience, using nervous system regulation tools and trauma-informed support to release body memories, in addition to the full range of wonderful techniques that compose it and its enveloping flow, making it a living practice in constant evolution.
Understanding the concept of Spazio Californian Massage®, the enveloping wave that characterizes it
The main focus of this level is to learn how to move energy within the person through changes in rhythm and pressure during the massage. Students will learn to touch with awareness, using different parts of the hand to work with larger and more superficial muscle groups. Great emphasis will be placed on body posture so that students understand how to move around the massage table and perform Californian massage without strain.

Basic Level Training
Perfect Your Californian Massage:
Resources for Basic and Intermediate Levels
- We will enrich the massage by awakening the diversity of hand tools and possibilities of touch: thumbs, open fists, the heel of the hand, the palm of the hand…
- We will refine thumb work by continuing to observe body mechanics, seeking a firm and relaxed transmission of weight while making contact with deeper muscular layers.
- We will bring attention to focus, precision, definition, and detail, developing deeper work within the tissues that requires continued practice of listening, slowness, and remaining present with a firm yet relaxed attitude.
- This will also allow us to approach specific areas of the body in detail, expanding awareness into each small universe: hands, feet, face, sacrum, knees, abdomen…
- We will integrate the rhythms of staccato and active stillness into the fluidity of long movements and the other resources introduced in the basic level, always building upon the new understanding gained through practice.
- We will develop an understanding of boundaries in massage and engage in exercises that support this awareness.
- We will continue progressing with mobilization techniques and practicing draping work.
- As always, postural self-care will be essential in order to offer the massage from a place of ease, presence, and responsibility toward one’s own center.
- This level allows us to deepen and refine the details while maintaining quality of touch and presence.
