Emotion-aware touch™ that bridges the gap between the physical body and the emotional body to provide a holistic healing experience for your clients.

Somatic massage, as it has now become referred to, is a massage that works with the emotional body and our responses as well as working on the physical body. I refer to it on this workshop as ‘Emotion-Aware Touch™’.

Learn how to provide a holistic healing experience for our clients. You are here to learn to support people through emotional responses that can come with touch. Hold a supportive space for clents to fully feel supported and held. You are doing it already, now is time to learn the why. Why the body reacts in an emotional response because of touch. Why clients cry on the massage bed.
