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
