So you want to give the AMAZING kind of massage?

The kind that leaves your partner relaxed and you feeling energised.

With partner, I mean massage partner. It could be a loved one, a family member, a friend, someone YOU choose to offer touch to.

Massage is an ancient practice for well being and good heath. The way I work and aim to teach is to empathically offer a space for a partner to deeply relax and let go of whatever tension they are holding.

As a professional massage therapist of over 12 years now, and a nonprofessional for 15 years before that, each massage session I offer is a work of art.

At Soul Treats, each massage session is a work of art.

It is a mixture of applied anatomical knowledge, sequencing, focusing and letting go of predefined orders in order to follow the flow of energy. Each massage is a dance, partly choreographed and partly intuitively improvised.

Would you like to enter this world of deep, listening and healing touch? Book here.

What you will receive in these massage workshops:

• “Each course will give you an insight into topic specific anatomy, physiology and contraindications to lay the foundation for a healing massage and create a safe space.

• You will learn how to position your body to maintain your energy levels, as well as how to practice deep listening. You will learn how to recreate this at home.

• Each workshop also offers you a small sequence to practice with and flow from.

• In a very small group of max 6-10 people, German / English speaking, 3 hour workshop on a weekends.

• Essentially, my wish for these workshops is to offer you tools and skills so you can leave the script behind and flow from the sensation of touch creating holistically healing and magically melting massages. “

FACILLITATOR AND TEACHER

Marianne Schmidt, best known as Mary, brings 12 years of professional massage and bodywork and an extensive variety of trainings as well as a special ability to listen through touch.

She's wild and soft: an nation free nomad by birth she embodies a fun and sensual mix of temperament and a maximum amount of joy for life and the quest for making the lives of others more pleasurable.

“A good massage is not me giving while my partner receives but when we melt together into a masterpiece of art and hormonal bliss, when the boundaries of where I begin and my partner and become fluid; each stroke is like the stroke of a brush; movement like a dance to music only we can hear; we become the installation in the art studio.” -Mary Marianne
