This is an intensive workshop where you will learn ‘hands on’ in pairs, the key techniques of upper body clothed seated massage, which includes the shoulders, back, neck, arms, hands and head similar to Indian Head massage. You will pair up in the workshop and swap around to get accustomed to different shapes and sizes of body.  We will also concentrate on correct posture and hear advice on how to give a good massage.

I will give a brief talk about the scientific research into massage and the physiological, mental and emotional effects of massage; the healing power of touch and an introduction to endorphin promotion and Alpha states.

The techniques learnt can also be used on other parts of the body and given as a full body massage with oils etc. All ages and abilities welcome! Detailed handouts of everything covered in the workshop will be provided, Please wear loose clothing and a cotton T-Shirt to cover your shoulders. Bring water.
