Massage Workshop for Partners
Saturday, September 6th
1:00pm to 5:00pm
Om Studio
218 N. 4th Avenue, Suite 204
Ann Arbor, MI 48104
(above the People's Food Coop)
Invigorate your relationship, comfort a friend in need, or just learn the basics of a new skill! Come with your partner, child, friend, parent, or any other loved one.
In this weekend workshop you will learn some essential basics of massage that will enable you to give a better backrub! You will emerge knowing a basic seated routine, as well as a 30-minute table routine for back, neck, and shoulders. We will highlight basic anatomy, tips for avoiding fatigue while giving a massage, and key contraindications. We will also touch on proper draping techniques, use of oils and creams and will recommend a few of our favorite massage books. You will have plenty of opportunities to see the techniques demonstrated and practice them on your partner.
Imagine being able to give a gift to someone you care for; whether it’s a significant other, a parent, a child, or a friend in need. A gift that could open doorways to deeper understanding is literally right at your fingertips! It is the gift of partner massage; gentle, caring, healing touch that anyone can share and enjoy.
Everyone is born knowing touch as the primary channel of communication and connection with the world, yet people have forgotten how vital touch is to our sense of wellbeing. It takes only a little willingness, time, and awareness to bring the power of touch back into our relationships through shared massage. Although massage therapy as a profession requires licensure and extensive training, partner massage is something that anyone can learn to give and receive. Join us!
The workshop will be taught by Alyssa Schreiber, MPH and Kelly Kempter, NCTMB. Space is limited to ensure a comfortable, intimate environment. $150 fee per couple includes a workbook and massage care package.
