Gaining an understanding of how to stand whilst massaging to ensure you have good body posture along with creating fluidity in your body as the giver.
Quality of Touch & Connection
This is an important part of being a massage therapist; knowing how to step into someone’s space, how to connect to their body through your first touch and the importance of grounding and connecting yourself first. Bringing breath work and slowing your treatment down to feel nurturing.
