Bradford Donnaud – Talk and Breath Enhanced Massage

This course is a hands-on class that joins Guided Imagery and Guided Breathwork with therapeutic massage. What should a client think about when getting a massage? The mind follows the body in relaxation. Asking a client to take a deep breath or to focus on a mental image can be useful in that it creates a conversational break if the client is very talkative or having trouble relaxing. Encouraging the client to focus on their breath assists the therapist in quieting their mind. These mind/body interventions can access the sympathetic nervous system and begin a cascade of beneficial physiological processes, like lower heart rate and lower blood pressure. The exercises you will learn will transform your service into a multisensory experience that transcends your standard massage and enhances your client’s experience.

In This Class You Will:

• The use of Imagery in the healing arts
• How to prepare for a guided meditation physically and vocally
• Learn and perform coached breathing exercises
• Learning to identify which clients would benefit from guided meditation
• Choosing an imagery exercise and how to improvise one

• Write and perform your own guided meditation in a hands-on service
