28-Day Massage Practitioner Certification Training: An Embodied Philosophy
This monthlong training in Esalen® Massage and Bodywork provides a minimum of 150 hours of comprehensive instruction in fundamental massage skills.

Classes will include lectures and demonstrations, supervised hands-on practice sessions, movement, and experiential exercises in anatomy, grounding, centering, breath awareness, body process, pathology, self-care, ethics, and business practices. Special attention will be given to creating a supportive environment where learning can occur easily and a synergy between intuition, creativity, and technique can be achieved. This training is for those new to bodywork as well as practitioners wanting to add the Esalen approach to their work.
Following the successful completion of this program, students wishing to complete the certification process will have 6 months to document 30 massage sessions.
