Course Content

Holistic Body Massage Introduction/Refresher Workshop - Course Structure

This workshop is ideal for those of you new to massage & wish to use massage with family and friends, it is also a good reminder for those of you who have completed a massage course in the past and would like a refresher.

The term "Holistic Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Holistic massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

Holistic massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Holistic Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.

All students will have the techniques demonstrated to them, and each will both give and receive the massage. There is a maximum class size of four, ensuring one-to-one attention at all times. Comprehensive notes for students to take home are included in the workshop price, and each will receive a certificate of attendance signed by the tutor.

The Holistic Massage Techniques you’ll Learn During this Workshop Include Effleurage, Petrissage, and Tapotement (or percussion)
Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips
Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
Tapotement: Hacking and Cupping

Holistic massage feels good and is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

The Topics which are Covered in this Holistic Massage Workshop are:
The benefits of Holistic Massage
Partial and total contraindications
Massage mediums
Classification of massage movements

Massage Introduction Workshop for Couples, Singles, Beginners and refresher - Full Body

Esther is a fantastic trainer. She is clearly very passionate about what she does and this comes across during her teaching. She made us all feel very comfortable, was very clear with her instructions and encouraged us to ask questions and not to feel like anything was a silly question to ask. Very professional and highly recommended. I didn't decide on Gateway specifically but was looking for a course that allowed couples massage

Massage Introduction Workshop for Couples, Singles, Beginners and refresher - Full Body

Karen was absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She is obviously very experienced in her field and made us all feel very comfortable. She was on hand to give us tips which made me feel more confident in what I was doing. I was so impressed with her teachings, that I have booked two more courses with her - an Indian Head Massage course and an ITEC massage course. I already have - I was super impressed! It was recommended to me by a masseuse that I know

Massage Introduction Workshop for Couples, Singles, Beginners and refresher - Full Body

A great course, we both had lots of fun and learnt a lot. A whole day of massaging and being massaged, two massages each, made it great value when compared to paying for a massage on its own. Google result for a christmas present.
