Massage has been practised for thousands of years and by people without any form of qualification. It has huge benefits and if it is received regularly, it can have a dramatic effect on your life both mentally and physically.
Benefits of massage
- Relaxes the body and mind
- Reduces general and specific muscular aches and pains
- Soothes the nervous system
- Helps promote digestion Increases the mobility in joints
- Promotes good mental health and reduces physical feelings of stress and anxiety Helps your immunity by increasing white blood cell counts
- Improves recovery from exercise
- Alleviates sleep disorders, and many more emotional and physical problems
- But having a massage on a regular basis is not always practical or affordable. We’ve heard the story a thousand times; “my partner won’t massage me”, or “s/he stops after five minutes”.
We are offering the workshops for groups to make it more affordable and a way to meet others of the same mind.
During Group massage workshop you will learn

Why do a workshop?
The best way to learn is by doing, and so following a thorough introduction and outline you will take it in turns to massage each other.
This means that for approximately thirty minutes of the workshop you each will be having a relaxing massage.
Your lesson will involve actively performing a massage with my coaching to perfect the techniques. Your massage will follow a standard massage sequence
Can I really learn to give an effective massage in 2.5 hours?
Absolutely, massage is not rocket science. There are a few simple techniques to practice and after that you will be able to confidently deliver a relaxing massage to your partner, friend or family. This course does not qualify you to deliver massage and charge for it.
Most massage therapists learn to massage in exactly the same manner that you will, but what then separates them is practice. By regularly practicing your massage techniques you will begin to discover that you can feel what is happening under the surface of the skin.
