Taken together, this full series is designed as a complete massage course, where we will explore and integrate various techniques. You can join the full course for a well-rounded, in-depth training, or take individual modules if you prefer to focus on a specific aspect that complements your practice.
As always, I will 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.
Feb 21 & 22 · 13:30 – 18:00
Practice and Feedback
This final module is dedicated to integration and practice. We will allow plenty of time for questions and answers, as well as opportunities for personalised feedback. You will practice giving and receiving full sessions, experiencing how to bring together all the tools and techniques learned throughout the course. We will also revisit any gestures or methods you wish to review in more detail. Supervised practice is a chance to deepen your confidence, refine your skills, and embody your own style and rhythm within the principles of sensitivity, technique, and presence.
