in Touch Therapies

with Jim Gilkeson

In caring, compassionate, holistic touch therapies, we open the door for our clients to release burdens of stress and excess energy. Emotions are one of the natural forms of this release and can be an important turning point in a session. In this two-day class you will explore the phenomena of emotional release and learn how to work safely and responsibly when a session turns emotional.

(Please read this carefully.) The only way to learn about emotions and emotional release in touch therapies is to become familiar with your own. While we will not at any time be "pushing" for emotional release, please be advised that we will be working with concepts and practices that tend to bring up emotions. This class can, at turns, be challenging, but it will give you many rewarding insights into human process.

Recommended for bodyworkers of all modalities.
