Course Description: Art of Abdominal Massage
This training is for Licensed Massage Therapists who would like to gain more familiarity and confidence in including the abdomen in their treatments. Mali has been trained in and influenced by Chi Nei Tsang, Shiatsu, Thai Massage, and Visionary Craniosacral work. Her approach to abdominal massage is reverent, gentle, and supports healing by emphasizing the importance of creating safety through listening touch, communication, and simple and slow techniques. Over the weekend students will learn a 1-hour sequence of abdominal massage and see demonstrations of how the instructor would use material from the sequence in 5-10 minutes to support practical integration of the techniques into a one hour full-body session. Students can expect to experience a deeply healing container and come away with an enthusiasm and understanding of the importance of including the abdomen in our massage therapy treatments.
