Hey guys, so my next "Bodywork, Healing and Relaxation" foundation course will now be running over the weekend of April 25th / 26th. The last one went brilliantly and I've had some really wonderful feedback:

"I had the pleasure of attending a weekend-long Thai massage workshop led by Tristan, and it was excellent. There was a beautiful balance between learning and relaxing, giving and receiving. The depth of the teaching went beyond other workshops I’ve experienced, including thoughtful preparation beforehand and clear guidance for continuing your practice afterward. The space was held in a calm, grounded, and nurturing way, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The closing sound bath and Tristan’s singing were a perfect, heart-warming ending."

- Joanna Surowiec

This weekend course is for people with ANY level of experience, who want to learn more about healing / massage therapy from a unique, holistic, multi-modality influenced perspective, become more competent and understanding in how to bring relief and relaxation to the body, and aid in the wellbeing of themselves, friends and family.

It's perfect for people who want to become more competent and understanding of bodywork without investing huge amounts of time, energy and money into a full training. (Although I hope that for some people, this might inspire them to go down that road.)

There's also PLENTY of value for practicing massage therapists who would like to gain more knowledge and floor based techniques in traditional Thai massage and also many other perspectives of energy healing, energy management, connecting with clients, breathwork and visualisation. There were a couple of professional therapists on the last course who found it to be really well worth their time, energy and money.

So over 2 full days we'll be learning:

*A full Thai yoga inspired massage sequence from toes to head (all fully clothed.)

*Energy healing / personal energy management techniques - The preparation of ones own state in order to meet with another in a clear, grounded and safe manner, whilst avoiding self-depletion and "transference."

*How to stretch, and help eachother stretch effectively and safely with specific focus on breathwork, stimulation of the Vagus nerve and tips and tricks on how to "speak" to the central nervous system in order to evoke a sense of safety and release.

*How to use simple techniques to relieve tension, inflammation and address common physical ailments (depending entirely on what's being presented by our participants in real time.)

*Learn very practical and applicable breathwork and visualisation techniques..

* Each student will also receive video demonstrations of ALL the techniques we practice do you will be able to recall and recap then in your own time - whenever you choose.

- ALL without the need for ANY specialised equipment or even massage oil

The weekend will take place at the Stroud scout hall with kitchen facilities so people can organise their own food and keep prices really accessible:

There is also plenty of room for people to stay over if need be, but they will need to provide their own bedding.

The exchange will be £200 per person and I will need a £50 deposit to join with the remainder of the payment due around April 18th.

If you're interested in joining - please DM your phone number and I will add you to the course WhatsApp group.

Please feel free to ask questions on here or DM me.

Cheers!

Wowzers!

I just had a wonderful weekend teaching the fundamentals of Thai massage and energy healing to a really fantastic group of people.

It's the first time I've run this particular training - which is based on a unique, blended modality style that I've been developing over the past 10 years, and it honestly feels like it couldn't have gone any better!

I felt very much at ease and in my power in the most relaxed, open way. Stepping into my role as a teacher feels like a very organic, natural progression. It's such an exciting step and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

The participants were all really brilliant, super attentive and keen to learn. They all thoroughly enjoyed the course and got a lot from it. "Massively exceeded expectations" seemed to be the common theme of the sharing circle at the end.

Hearing everyone's genuinely heartfelt, positive feedback after everything was complete was quite honestly the happiest moment of the past 5 years of my life.

Feeling so much gratitude 🙏

I'm very much looking forward to running another one very soon, and am currently in the process of developing a follow up course - adding layers to what I've taught in this one, and going deeper into more advanced techniques and perspectives. I can see this developing exponentially.

If anyone is interested to be put on the contact list for upcoming courses - please feel free to drop me a line on 07873535880.

Can't wait to do this again soon! ❤️

I'm very excited to be offering a Thai massage, healing and relaxation weekend course in Stroud on January 17th / 18th.

We will be integrating traditional Thai massage floor techniques - from the toes to top of the head, with very grounded, practical energy healing / management techniques, breathwork and general stretching, with a dash of yoga and Qi-gong thrown in for good measure - ALL with no need for any specialised equipment, tables or massage oil.

I welcome ALL levels of experience - whether you are total beginner and are interested purely for personal exploration and self care, to gain more confidence in working with your friends and family, or if you are a trained therapist wanting to learn new floor based techniques and broaden your perspective on massage and healing work, I'm confident that this unique course, inspired by my considerable experience and multiple trainings in bodywork, healing and wellness modalities, has something to offer everybody.

There will also be filmed demonstrations to be shared with participants for future reference and practice.

With an introductory exchange of only £150 per person for the whole weekend (excluding food) - it's very accessible to all levels of income.

Please get in touch on 07873535880 for booking, or more information if you're interested. Places are limited and a non refundable deposit of £50 is required to secure a place.

Please feel free to pass on and share with people or groups that this might be perfect for :)

Much love ❤️
