Couples Coaching
The ART of Touch restores communication through touch. I work with Couples, Families and Like Minded groups to teach simple Touch and Massage techniques that can be practiced at home.
Many Couples seem to accept that it is Natural for them to reduce contact between each other as they get older, but that isn't a rule!
Whether through illness or familiarity, couples can lose their connection with each other. Touch is one of the most basic, instinctive forms of communication, yet most of us have forgotten how to do it.
The progression of technology has changed the way we interact , that changes how the modern family support one-another and communication is at risk of breaking down on many levels.
By massaging a friend or partner and letting him or her do the same back, both will get emotionally closer to each other and receive several health benefits. Massaging will improve the mental state of the person being worked on, the muscular condition, the blood and Qi circulation and the lymph drainage. However, the exact techniques that can be taught and used will be based on what is wanted to be achieved.
Not everyone wants to take their clothes off! Although this can increase the level of intimacy achieved, many of the techniques taught will be applied directly through clothing.
Where a couple wish to get closer they have the option of learning some oil massage techniques where items of clothing can be removed.
What a couple wish to do with the techniques they are shown within the privacy of their own home is entirely up to them!
Coaching and Personal Massage Techniques
Coaching includes relaxation and meditation techniques for individuals or groups.
Training in personal massage techniques can also be given to individuals or mixed groups enabling participants to build their own personal self help programme.
Receiving a massage can be great! Relaxing, invigorating, releasing tension, creating personal space and reducing pain or discomfort.
Imagine having the skills to support yourself, the ability to relieve stress and tension, instantly improving your well-being and quality of life. Then imagine sharing these skills with a loved one, friend or family member.
My mission is to bring empowerment to individuals and create a ripple of balance reinstating itself into life through touch and improved communication.
To fully understand another it is important to connect with and understand oneself.
Personal massage techniques are suitable for anyone, any sex and any age. Programmes are created to individual needs and can be 1 hour or several days.
Sessions can be arranged here at the Training Centre or on site at a suitable location.
Sessions available Include:

Professional Development workshop
Professional Development Workshop
This Workshop is run over a 2 day period. It has been created for Health Care providers from numerous backgrounds who want to enhance the care element of their role.
The Workshop is suitable for Nurses, HCAs, Physio, Occupational and Complementary Therapists and other members of the multi disciplinary team.
During the 2 days we will look at relaxation techniques including breathing, focusing and visualisation. Participants will learn how to create guided visualisations which can be used within the care setting or within their own life.
We will discuss and practice the application of touch for relaxation and comfort purposes.
Basic massage techniques will be practiced through clothing and with the use of a lubricant such as moisturising lotion.
We will address the uses of all these techniques in the care setting to reduce stress, relieve tension, act as a distraction to physical or spiritual discomfort and as a barrier to pain.
A certificate of competency will be issued on completion of this workshop.
Workshops can be arranged at any suitable location.
To arrange any workshop for professionals or public at your centre, please contact Heather Dawn
Stress Release Massage Training
Stress Release Massage consists of a series of techniques based on Thai and other therapeutic massage systems.
These techniques are applied to the body in a methodical manner to identify and release areas of physical tension.
The body is designed to have fluid motion through the joints. Stress release massage is directed towards the areas of persistent tension which lead to jamming and pain; these areas require deeper work to enable them to let go of what can often be many years of tension.
Stress release massage can be applied as a full body treatment or in conjunction with other therapies enhancing their overall effectiveness.
The course is a 3 day professional development programme for Massage and Complementary Therapists. The course is suitable for Nurses, HCAs, Physio, Occupational Therapists and other members of the multi disciplinary team wanting to learn massage techniques and individuals wanting to develop skills to use at home with family and friends.
A certificate of attendance will be issued upon completion of the course.
