Thoughts & Learnings from a Bodyworker-in-Training

Even though the program is part-time, even though we are not assigned “homework”, it takes time to integrate these lessons. The body and mind need to rest, to come together and compare notes. This requires you to stop doing. My instructors say this is also part of the work.

These ain't no smooth gliding effleurage motions. This is the world of Percussion and Oscillation Techniques.

It's the beginning of October and I can't think of a better time to tell you all about BONES! This week in massage school, we took a deep dive into the skeletal system.

Week 2 of Massage School is complete! This week we went all the way back to BIO 101: The Cell. The building blocks of life! Or as our instructor said, "The smallest chonk you can call alive."

I've just finished my first week of classes at the Hands on Healing Institute. In a word, WOW. I’ve never simultaneously felt so chill and so engaged in an educational setting.
