See Bali BISA’s Intuitive Massage Course
A unique treatment for each individual. The therapist tunes into the person and is guided by their energies, intuition and guidance. Different healing hands-on techniques will help bring one into a deeper, more relaxed healing space. The treatment takes its own flow and rhythm. This work can bring deep relaxation and healing on many levels.
During the first week, a wide range of massage techniques will be mastered, including the core set of essential strokes plus those derived from unique forms such as Balinese, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Shiatsu, Thai, Ayurveda and Reflexology. Theory lessons provide a solid understanding of the body and its functions to ensure maximum effectiveness. Yet as a holistic treatment, it will go much deeper than traditional anatomy and physiology. Rather you will learn to address all aspects of the individual and their lifestyle… their mental state, emotional well-being and spiritual values. This unique toolbox incorporates an understanding of the body’s energy centres known as the chakras, breathing techniques, meditation and visualization.
Harnessing these into one powerful and unique intuitive treatment is the focus of the second week. You will have ample time to experiment and eventually practice on clients. The outcome will be personally fulfilling and rewarding as you become an integral part of a person’s journey towards total wellness.
