A professional training for massage therapists, bodyworkers, somatic practitioners and facilitators who want to deepen their work with chronic tension, emotional holding patterns and body armouring.

This training combines bodywork, breath, emotional awareness and conscious touch to help participants learn how to safely guide others through deeper layers of tension held in the body.

Participants learn how to:

• recognise patterns of body armouring
• work with breath and conscious touch
• support emotional release safely
• integrate this work into bodywork and therapeutic practice

The training is also open to individuals who want to experience this work deeply for their own personal transformation.

How this work can support your professional practice

Many massage therapists and bodyworkers eventually encounter a similar situation in their practice: some patterns of tension return again and again, even when the massage itself is skillful and effective.

In many cases these patterns are connected to what is often called body armouring – protective layers of tension that develop in the body through stress, emotional holding or long-term life experiences.

Through this training you will learn how to recognise these deeper patterns and how to work with them safely and respectfully. By combining conscious touch, breath and somatic awareness, this work can open new possibilities in how you support your clients.

For many practitioners this training becomes a natural way to deepen their bodywork practice and expand their understanding of how the body stores and releases tension, emotion and energy.
