Module Breakdown
Module 1: Connection Through Movement
Exercises to practice body awareness and speed control.
When you bring movement into bodywork, everything deepens.
Movement is our nature.
Module 2: Exploring Your Toolkit
Your greatest tools aren’t equipment — they’re your own body and awareness.
Learn how to control pressure with sensitivity, adjust angles to work smarter (not harder), using hands, forearms, elbows, and more with confidence.
By tuning into the breath and body cues, you’ll develop intuition, move with flow, and give touch that feels safe, responsive and deeply connected.
Module 3: Prepare to Give
Contraindications - understanding when to proceed, modify, or avoid certain techniques to ensure your touch remains supportive and appropriate.
Good Pain vs Bad Pain - learning to recognize the difference helps you work deeply without overwhelming the person you’re caring for.
Module 4: Full Body Exploration
In-depth exploration of calming the nervous system to then work progressively through each area with intention and flow.
By the end, you’ll understand how to support the body as a whole, not just isolated muscles, creating a complete and deeply restorative experience.
Learn touch techniques that communicate support without needing words.
