UPCOMING CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES at ISHA
Creative Ensemble Massage | June 20, 2025
(12 CEs)
Ready to blend creativity with healing? Creative Ensemble Massage* workshop is a 12 hour, hands-on, inspiring class designed to ignite your creativity as a bodywork practitioner.
As skilled clinicians, we blend modalities with intuition to create unique sessions for every client. But massage is more than technique—it’s a deeply creative act, like sculpting with clay or dancing through space. This workshop helps you see yourself as an artist, strengthening your intuitive “muscle” through playful, innovative exercises.
In this fun and dynamic class, you’ll:
– Kick off with paired stretching and movement to connect mind and body.
– Team up for rhythmic tapotement sessions, guided by the beat of live drums.
– Explore group massage paired with VR to immerse clients in a sensory rainstorm experience.
*Creative Ensemble Massage* is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to earn CEU credits while expanding your artistry and bringing fresh energy to your practice.
