Somatic Mindfulness - Expansion with Fernando Rojas - 16 hours NCBTMB approved

About this event

Somatic Mindfulness is a somatic framework designed for massage therapists to create the conditions for healing by making their own well-being the method. By bridging somatics with bodywork, these workshops invite both practitioner and client into a deeper conversation with the body's inherent wisdom. Learn to work with natural ease and flowing precision, allowing tissues to reveal their own path to change while protecting your own body's resources. Through mindful presence and refined listening skills, discover how to create the conditions for lasting therapeutic change. This approach naturally cultivates practitioner sustainability and well being, supporting both career longevity and continued growth in your practice. In expansion, our responsive hands allow the breath to find its natural fullness and flow. The torso, back, arms, and shoulders are invited to reveal their capacity for both strength and openness.
