Course: Lomi-lomi for masseurs
Lomi-lomi is a beautiful, intense, transforming and festive
massage. It can be given by one masseur (two hands) or two
masseurs (four hands). Lomi-lomi is a particularly nice extension for your practice and your clients. In addition to masseurs, the course is also suitable for other body therapists.
Aim
The aim of the course is to teach you to give your two-handed and four-handed lomi-lomi, and to expand your own practice with this. The course duration can be kept short by focusing on masseurs. We build on existing knowledge, experience and intuition. The assumption is that you are well able to touch someone with total respect, care and stand by close.Description
The course consists of four course days: two consecutive course days and two follow-up days. In the first two days, the underlying theory is explained, and an introduction to lomi-lomi in both giving and experiencing. The atmosphere and the energetic aspects are central. This is of greater importance for lomi-lomi than with most other massages. In the two follow-up days you will become more familiar with the flowing techniques, energetic dynamics and festivity. In addition to acquiring techniques, you will also experience the intensity, depth, sensitivity and transformation yourself. Practical tips are given for your practice. Between the course days you can practice and expain relief yourself. You receive handouts with course material and a certificate.Practical information

Course: Breath synchronous massage for masseurs
With breath synchronous massage, breathing is used to enhance
the relaxing effect of the relaxation massage. By having the
massage movements accurately match the movement of the client's
breathing, the effectiveness of the massage is doubled. This is
complemented by a number of new strokes, kneads and pulses that
make optimum use of this approach. The more intense effect and
the relaxing interaction of the client and the masseur make the
massage very popular with the experienced client.
Aim
The aim of the course is to learn to give and experience the breath synchronous massage. You expand your massage techniques with a more intense variant that requires no extra physical effort from you. It can be given firm as well as softer. By focusing on masseurs, the course duration can be limited. The assumption is that you are well able to give a relaxation massage.Description
The course consists of two course days in a weekend. First the specific breathing of the client is explained. Then how the masseur synchronizes the massage movements with the breath. It takes practice to pay attention to breathing while making the massage movements. A range of new strokes and pulses that are particularly effective with this method will be introduced and practiced. These movements are quite different on the back side or belly side.You receive handouts with course material and a certificate.
