Aquatic Bodywork
Aquatic Bodywork is a blend of Massage and Thai yoga massage in the water. It combines movements, stretching and stillness to increase mobility and flexibility.
Clients are gently floated in a warm therapy pool (95 degrees), supported by floatation devices, while the therapist uses gentle swaying, rocking, stretching and rotation, allowing the client's body to unwind and completely relax. This type of treatment is also very low impact on the therapist.

Side-lying Mastery
Unlocking Movement & Mobility in Your Massage Practice
Many massage therapists limit side-lying techniques to prenatal clients, missing out on one of the most effective, versatile, and ergonomic positions in bodywork! In this dynamic hands-on class, you’ll learn to embrace side-lying as a powerhouse position for mobilizing the hips, shoulders, neck, and ribcage—without extra strain on your body.
By incorporating fluid Thai massage-inspired movements into a traditional side-lying massage, you'll expand your skillset and discover how to integrate deep, effective work with effortless flow. Plus, we’ll take the guesswork out of worry-free draping, so you can feel confident and professional with every client.
