✨ A glimpse into our Hot Stone Massage Training ✨

Grounded in a trauma-informed, evidence-based framework, this course is designed to help RMTs confidently integrate hot stones into practice.

Hot stone massage is often experienced as deeply soothing, grounding, and comforting - and in this training, RMTs learn how to create that experience in ways that support safety, choice, and therapeutic goals.

This hybrid course includes:

* A self-paced online module before the in-person day
* Trauma-informed communication strategies you can directly integrate into practice
* The evidence-based benefits of massage, common massage myths, and discussion of interoception and how massage interacts with the nervous system
* Full-body sequence demo videos
* Hands-on in-person practice
* Roaster + heating pad systems
* Disinfection protocols
* Certificate of completion
* Lifetime access to a living resource document

We hosted a hot stone massage course last weekend! ✨

This wonderful group of RMTs explored hot stone massage through a trauma-informed, evidence-based lens, learning about interoception, how massage interacts with the nervous system, and ways to support safety, choice, and therapeutic goals.

We loved having Masumi back at the clinic to share her hands-on approach to creating a soothing, nurturing hot stone massage experience. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a warm, curious, and collaborative learning space!
