Class Description:

This two-day workshop illuminates the transformative experiences you bring to your clients when your touch pays more attention to sensing than doing – when your intention focuses less on resolving symptoms and more on freeing the body from unhealthy, unconscious patterns.

In the tradition of somatic movement therapy pioneer Dr. Milton Trager, you’ll learn to touch with full-body presence, ease, curiosity, delight, and depth. You’ll discover the power of softness and potent listening in your hands. You’ll witness the deep letting go that occurs when your clients feel their weight supported by the earth and their liquid body awash in pleasurable waves and quiet floating.  You will be moved by your capacity to connect authentically. What will it be like to become as vast and effortlessly transformative as the fingers of the ocean reshaping a beach?
