Service Description

9 AM - 4 PM Friday, August 8th Description: This Sleep Massage for Licensed Practitioners class will build upon the basic concepts found in the shorter Introduction to Sleep Massage course (but the intro course is NOT a pre-requisite). Pertinent adaptations for this technique will also be shared as well as introducing the full-body session for practice. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring colored pencils/pens/crayons for notes. Learn about the basic techniques of sleep massage and how they vary from other massage techniques. Students will be able to perform a short-form and long form sleep massage. There will also be a discussion on how to incorporate this work and review a sleep massage business model. Students will assess the covered techniques and identify when it is working. Students will then be able to choose an adaptation based on client needs.
