I notice how my attention begins to gather again.

After the past weeks, with a lot of movement and decisions, something in me is settling.

And with that, my focus turns more and more towards the spaces I will be holding next.

London is coming up next weekend.

And further ahead, Portugal in October.

I can already feel how my attention starts to move towards the group that will gather there.

Not as a plan.
More like a direction.

If you have been feeling a pull towards this work,
this might be a good moment to listen a little closer.

Esalen® Massage is more than a technique.
It comes from a place.

A place where touch, presence and awareness meet.

This is the lineage I’m part of
and what I share in my workshops and trainings.

The body is not a collection of parts.
It’s a whole.

Long, flowing strokes
create continuity, connection,
and a sense of being held.

This is something we practice step by step
in the Intro workshops
and deepen in the trainings.

What is Esalen® Massage?

Not something you perform.
Something you listen into.

A practice of presence,
awareness,
and connection.

If you’d like to experience this,
you can find upcoming workshops and trainings in my bio.

You don’t need to know how to massage
to begin.

This is not about technique.
It’s about presence, connection,
and learning to listen through your hands.

In this 2-day introduction, you’ll experience the quality of touch firsthand through giving and receiving.

We will slow down together and come into contact with ourselves and the group.

The deeper you go, the slower you move.

That’s when the body begins to open.

There’s a moment many people reach
when working with touch

where something starts to feel… incomplete

Not because you don’t know enough
but because something deeper is asking for attention

For me, this is where Esalen® Massage begins

It’s not only about what you do
but how you are there
how you listen
how you meet another body

This is the space we explore in the training

If you have been curious about touch
but did not know where to begin
this is a simple place to start.

No prior experience needed.
Just a willingness to explore, to feel, to slow down.

And if you already work with touch
this can be a space to reconnect
and deepen your way of listening.

London · 25–26 April 2026

Would love to have you join us.

Intro to Esalen® Massage · London

This workshop is an invitation to slow down
and to reconnect with touch in a simple, grounded way

We will explore long, flowing strokes
presence at the table
and how to work with the whole body rather than isolated techniques

There is space to learn
to receive
and to be supported in your own rhythm

No previous experience needed

Small group
hands-on guidance throughout

25–26 April in London

If you feel curious, you’re very welcome

When I created this training, one thing was very clear to me.

I wanted to be there for the whole process.

In many trainings teachers alternate and each one teaches their own part.
Which also means they rarely witness the full journey of the students.

For me it felt important to walk that whole path with them.

From the first day until the moment when things begin to settle and each person starts finding their own rhythm in the work.

Eva shares this spirit, and teaching the full two weeks together creates a very special atmosphere in the room.

There are simply more ways to connect, more support for the students, and more space for everyone to discover their own way of working.

This is one of the reasons I love teaching the
100-hour Esalen® Massage Professional Training.

Learning Esalen® Massage is more than learning a technique.

It is a journey into listening through the hands.

Romina joined one of our recent trainings and shared what the experience felt like for her.

Moments like this remind me why I love teaching this work.

Our next 100-Hour Esalen® Massage Professional Training will take place in Portugal in October 2026.

What was your first experience of Esalen® Massage like?

This is the team that will hold the space in Portugal.

What matters most to me in a training is the field we create together.
A space where learning feels safe.
Where experience can unfold in its own timing.
Where touch becomes a language.

We are committed to a space where you can come as you are.
A space shaped by respect, clear boundaries, consent, and care.
Learning that can be deep and transformative and at the same time grounded and well supported.

I feel deeply grateful to teach alongside these beautiful humans.

Portugal is already alive and slowly growing.

If you feel curious, this might be your moment.
