Massage exchange day

On this Massage Exchange day we will come together to deepen our connection with massage.

The first half of the day we will focus on your needs whilst giving the massage. Enabling you to take the opportunity to practise skills, share techniques and receive helpful feedback from your massage buddy on the massage table. The second half of the day we shift the focus to the glory of receiving a massage. Taking time to ensure you get what you need, embracing this special moment to receive from fellow massage practitioners and enthusiasts - your body will be so grateful!

This workshop is suitable for anyone who has a good basic foundation in massage. For example you have followed a course and feel confident in how to move your own body at a massage table as well as have a knowledge of basic massage strokes. It does not mean you have to be a  professional massage therapist but if you are GREAT!

Throughout the day we will exchange with different people giving and receiving as  this brings the opportunity to grow, learn and create in different ways.
