Our goal is to prepare you with a strong technical foundation as well as to inspire you to open your heart and delight in the gift of touch. This course approaches bodywork as a spiritual practice. Through Yoga and meditation you will begin to raise your own awareness and inner guidance. From this centered place you will learn how to touch both skillfully and compassionately, sharing the healing potential of sacred touch.

This course is designed for those with little or no bodywork training: although we believe anyone could benefit. You will learn an in–depth introduction to the fundamental principles of massage therapy as well as the practical skills you will need to become a successful therapist.
