I always guide the sessions with attention to your own body, with the aim of awakening sensitivity, intuition, and presence in your approach to touch.

This course is open to everyone — whether you are completely new to massage or already experienced. You might feel curious and want to start exploring bodywork, or you may wish to deepen and expand the tools you already have. Either way, this workshop series will give you valuable experience and practice.

Workshops Content and Dates

Thai Massage Workshop 

Oct 25 & 26 · 13:30 – 18:00

Rooted in ancient traditions, Thai massage combines assisted stretches, rhythmic pressure, and mindful presence. In this workshop, you will learn the foundations, hand gestures, and core techniques of traditional Thai massage — applying pressure with stability, working along energy lines, and creating space through movement and mobilisations. The practice emphasises balance, grounding, and flow, allowing both giver and receiver to experience release and renewed vitality. This module offers a complete introduction to this dynamic and holistic form of bodywork.

​

Fundamental Oil Massage Techniques 

Nov 29 & 30 · 13:30 – 18:00

In this workshop, I will share my favorite and most effective techniques from the classic oil massage style. You will be guided to understand body structures and tissues, learn how to recognise areas of tension, and practice ways to release them effectively. You will learn how to direct strokes in relation to muscle fibers, and explore what makes an oil massage relaxing versus what makes it more suited for sports or deep tissue work. We will focus on how to use your own body tools — hands, elbows, fists, and thumbs — in different ways depending on the effect you want to create. I will also guide you through an organized full-body protocol that you can adapt for various contexts.

Somatic Touch Workshop

Jan 24 & 25 · 13:30 – 18:00

The quality of a massage transforms completely when we learn to listen deeply. This module focuses on presence, awareness, and the power of touch. Through guided exercises, you will practice listening with your hands, cultivating sensitivity, and learning how to respond to what you feel. Somatic touch invites you to slow down, to approach the body as a landscape without judgment, and to connect with depth and precision. By refining your balance and attention, you will learn how to hold space for another body to access its own healing potential.

Testimonials From Previous Participants

"Taking part in Paulina's workshop on the fundamentals of her approach to massage was a very enriching and cosy experience. Cosy because she created a welcoming, horizontal and relaxed atmosphere, a soft platform for us to coexist and knowledge to be shared. Enriching because she generously passed on her broad set of skills and influences with clarity, fluidity and detail. I left every gathering with a feeling of care, empowerment and excitement for having opened the door to a new bodily practice with solid foundations."
- L. Perela    

The oil massage workshop was beyond words. Paulina is waving a great mixture of techniques into a natural flow of movements. Therefore you can easily pick up the sequence, and at the same time create a deep powerful massage. it has the right balance of anatomy and practise. A must for everyone who love authentic high quality massage. - K. van der Kleij

I want to share my experience in the course. Paulina is lovely; she's very intelligent. Just listening to her is important, and she makes the class even better. She has a unique energy that helped us connect with our bodies and the importance of sensory experience. She made us feel comfortable so we could build confidence in ourselves. I hope to continue taking courses with her. -Tomas

"What I loved about learning massage from Paulina, was that she demonstrates how it is done and we got immediate practice and 'body insights' on the job. She had visuals for the trigger points and helped us with finding them on each other. I also love the way we learned to work intuitively and not routinely. This is what makes Paulina's practice so great! I now feel more confident in giving intuitive massage to people."

- D. de Koning

"Being guided by Paulina during the Intuitive Massage training was a truly beautiful experience. From the very beginning, she created a warm and safe space where everyone felt held and seen. She took the time to explain each part of the process with great clarity, patience, and presence, making sure we understood not only the techniques but also the deeper intention behind the practice. Her approach was both grounded and intuitive. She met us where we were, gently encouraging us to trust our hands, our bodies, and our felt sense. I appreciated how she allowed space for questions, reflections, and silence, all while maintaining a sense of ease and flow. Thanks to Paulina’s guidance, I left the training feeling not only more confident in offering intuitive massage, but also more connected to my own sensitivity and inner knowing. I highly recommend Paulina's training."

- H. Ejenobor

"I recently completed a massage training course, and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about the experience. The knowledge I gained, along with the practical skills, has had a profound effect and I'm excited to apply them in practice. The training took place in a warm, safe and inspiring environment, with a strong focus on hands-on learning. The combination of theory and extensive practice made it an incredibly valuable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this massage style!"
- J. Schneider
