Advanced Bodywork Training
Touching from the Heart [40 hours / 5 days]
“Nicolay assured us that we would all be successful. There can be no better endorsement of a
training program by the instructor and no higher confidence given to a student in that program!.”

Outline
Taking bodywork to the next level, this training approaches advanced therapy in three dimensions. Advanced massage, spa and aquatic bodywork techniques are introduced, body centered communication and methods of deep rapport are practiced and self-inquiry is taken to a deeper level. Based on the experience that you can only take those you work as deep as you have taken yourself, elements such as breathwork, meditation, hypnotherapy and NLP are combined with advanced massage and aquatic bodywork skills to facilitate a deepening both on the level of self knowing as well as skills.
The advanced class will introduce additional basic but effective spa treatments to enhance the overall client experience such as wraps and exfoliating scrubs. The curriculum includes yoga and movement as well as meditation and is hands-on while rejuvenating to the participants body, mind and spirit. This multi-dimensional approach will energize your creativity and offer you content to expand your practice. As in all Touching from the Heart classes we emphasize a hands-on approach.
Practice
The combination of techniques forms the core of this flowing and effective massage. In addition, adaptations and variations are introduced that allow the practitioner to customize the massage to their client's needs. Awareness is brought to posture and movement of the practitioner.
