Introductory Workshop in Biodynamic Massage

‘Touching the Body, touching the Heart’

An experiential workshop of Biodynamic Massage, excellent as an introduction to this type of work or as Continual Professional Development.

Bodywork, be it conventional or complementary therapy, can spark emotional responses in the client. The touch seems to re-awaken ‘forgotten’ emotional realities, positive and negative. Practitioners should be sensitive to the emotional impact of their touch, understand it and interact with it.

Biodynamic Massage is often used within Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy, but can also be used as a treatment in its own right. It is designed to help us literally digest our emotional and physical stress, not just in our minds but also in our bodies. Biofeedback of the 'psycho-peristalsis' is used to help guide the massage.

You will learn how:

· to use different forms of touch to make a physical and emotional connection to the whole person

· to find appropriate responses when massage (bodywork) brings up emotional content

· to self-reflect and learn techniques to personally deal with your own stress
