Workshops
When we feel better we perform better
At Hervey Bay Massage we have the opportunity to spend time with people from all walks of life. We attend to their needs by reducing their physical stress (reducing muscle tension, knots, and movement restrictions) and/or their emotional/mental stress (to relax and rest their minds via the soothing strokes of massage, Ortho-bionomy® and the use of aromatherapy).
After their treatment we often discuss techniques with clients to help them manage both physical and mental stress between massage visits.
These techniques, to help people cope with stress, are a major feature of our workshops. We explore a variety of ways for coping with both physical and mental stress. Learning is by way of information, demonstration and opportunities to practice at the workshops.
There are several workshop options.
Individual One-hour Workshops:
These are designed for groups of learners over a (1) hour period.
Options include :
Aromatherapy Practices Meditative techniques
Stretch and breathing Reflexology
Body balance (ortho-bionomy® methods) Ear Candling
The cost is $150 per session (for up to 15 people). This can be shared among participants or paid for by a workplace or other organising group.
"Learn to Massage" Workshop:
This workshop is designed for those who would like to learn how to give a basic massage to friends and family. It will not allow learners to become qualified therapists, but will give a basic understanding of why we massage, the common massage techniques, and leave learners with a 30-minute massage regime that they will be able to use on willing friends or family.
During the 3-4 hour workshop we discuss very basic muscle anatomy, how each massage technique relieves muscle tension, demonstrate and practice massage movements, and learners will each give and receive a 30-minute massage while practicing in pairs.
Workshop cost is $450 to be shared among the learners. This may be an opportunity for those considering a profession in massage to discover what it is all about.
Book in a group of your own, or register your interest with us via e-mail and we will contact you regarding a future session.
A one day Stress Management Workshop:
We refer to these as our "Calmer Places" Workshops.
Generally, this workshop is for groups of 10-15 people. It is very useful as a workplace (or other organisation) training/team- building tool.
This workshop allows participants to learn about, as well as practice, stress management practices such as aromatherapy, meditative practices, massage, stretch, breathing and body balance. The aim of this workshop is two-fold:
(1) learners gain information they can use for coping with and managing day-to-day stress;
(2) learners complete the day feeling relaxed( and indulged) from having practiced these techniques throughout the day.
It is this "indulgence" aspect that makes this stress management workshop a little different from other stress management workshops.
The cost for this 5-6 hour workshop is $660. Attendees will be asked to provide their own lunch and morning tea. E-mail us for a brochure.
