SUMMARY:Thai Massage Certification Phase 7 - Thai Foot Reflexology
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner\nDate: Sept 26 – 27\, 2026\nTime: 9AM – 6PM\nCourse Tuition: \n$1800 if registering for all seven levels in advance\n$280 if registering for each class individually\n$350 for a single drop in.\nStudents who commit to all 7 class will get a discount\, If you miss a class for whatever reason\, it can be made up next cycle. \nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 18 CEs per weekend or 126 CEs for all phases (Florida and NCBTMB) \nTo Register: Visit Bodhi Sanha’s event page \nQuestions? Contact: Ariela at arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nDescription:\nThis is our seventh class in our long journey together and it will be an honoring of ones walk into the world as Tai Yogis! We will have a celebration and graduation at the end of class. If you would like to attend as a single workshop we absolutely invite you to join us. This class stands alone and no other experience needed except to want to share compassionate loving touch through the feet. \nIn this workshop students will learn to give an hour long session on the feet alone\, while still affecting the whole body through aware stimulation of the sen lines and marma points. Utilizing both dry and wet massage (with and without oil) as well as a Thai foot stick\, to glide the lines and press the points with greater accuracy and precision then the hands alone could provide. The style we will be exploring is a method derived from Shivaga Komarpaj of the Chiang Mai school of Thai Massage\, and is for everyone\, therapists and lay people alike. This is a powerful healing tool that can be implemented on it’s own\, or as an addition to the full body massage. No prior massage experience is necessary to be educated in this methodology.

SUMMARY:Somatic Massage and the Parasympathetic Response
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Adrienne Engel\, LMT\, SEP\nDates:\nSaturday\, September 12th\, 2026\nSaturday\, January 9th\, 2027\nTime: 8:30 am – 6 pm (Including a 1 hour lunch)\nWorkshop Price: $150.00 (Early bird pricing of $125.00)\nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 8 CE credits (Florida and NCBTMB)\nCourse ID: 70275330\nTo Register: Text Adrienne at (352) 222-0236 for a payment link\nQuestions? Contact: Adrienne Engel 352-222-0236 or email at inbodymeant@gmail.com (text is better) \nWorkshop description: \nYour nervous system has a built-in mechanism that gently and dynamically releases pressure throughout your body. This creates an open pathway that helps your system integrate both current stress and long-held tension. When you guide your clients in activating this mechanism\, it enhances the effectiveness of any approach you use. Additionally\, it equips your clients with a long-term skill to reduce stress and pressure anytime\, anywhere\, making your job easier and improving their lives. \nThis 8-hour course will prepare massage therapists to recognize and engage the mechanism of the parasympathetic response in their clients. The parasympathetic response allows the body and mind to release and integrate tension. Students will learn to use their awareness\, support\, presence\, and language to facilitate parasympathetic responses. Students will learn the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system and how to track both sympathetic and parasympathetic states. Upon completing this class\, they will guide their clients in activating a parasympathetic response both in their sessions and daily lives. The active parasympathetic response is the foundation of somatic massage. \nTherapist bio – For more Information on Adrienne Engel visit https://www.inbodymeant.com/pages/adrienne-engels-experience-and-cred

Massage therapists will learn the anatomy of the automatic nervous system and how to track both sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. The parasympathetic response allows the body and mind to integrate tension patterns easily. Students will learn to engage the parasympathetic response using a combination of using radically gentle vibration created by the use of percussion tools like Theragun tools\, breathing\, movement\, awareness\, and intention. Upon completing this class\, they will guide their clients in activating a parasympathetic response in their sessions and daily lives. \nTherapist bio – For more Information on Adrienne Engel visit https://www.inbodymeant.com/pages/adrienne-engels-experience-and-cred
