Emotion-aware touch™ that bridges the gap between the physical body and the emotional body to provide a holistic healing experience for your clients.

Somatic massage, as it has now become referred to, is a massage that works with the emotional body and our responses as well as working on the physical body. I refer to it on this workshop as ‘Emotion-Aware Touch™’.

Learn how to provide a holistic healing experience for our clients. Wether its Massage, Reiki or another for ot therapeutic work you provide, this immersive can help you provide a holistic supportive space for your clients. You are here to learn to support people through emotional responses that can come with touch. Learn how to hold a supportive space for clients to fully feel held. You are doing it already, now is time to learn the why. Learn why clients can cry on the bed and hy the body reacts in an emotional response because of touch.
