You’ve finished your professional massage training and you’re starting to build up a clientele. You’ve consolidated your basic routine and you’re getting more clients who want more specific work. Or you’ve been working in the same way for a time and want to refresh and extend your work with your regular clients.
What now?
All of the courses listed below are designed to deepen your skills to work in an extensive way with your clients. All of the techniques covered can be incorporated, with practice, into your familiar massage treatments. The courses emphasise three important aspects (which, unfortunately, are too oftern neglected in massage training):
- looking after yourself – by working most effectively whilst protecting your hands and saving your body (working smarter not harder – to maintain your career)
- monitoring and adapting to the client’s responses (both verbal feedback and their body responses) so that you are working within the client’s manageable comfort zone
- working to promote a calm atmosphere and to encourage trust by the way that you work – by combining a sense of ‘flow’, rhythm and continuity with anatomical understanding applied in a feeling (non-mechanical) way.

Please note that all of the workshops listed here are Professional Development training – only for Qualified Massage Practitioners, Aromatherapists etc.
Each of these courses stands alone, but they also complement each other.
In addition to the set workshops (see Diary), I am very happy to travel to teach groups. Please contact me if you are interested in gathering a group for me to come and teach – it generally needs at least 8 people to make the travelling viable.
