Soft Touch Island Massage 3 CEU’s

Soft Touch Island Massage

Lolita Knight has developed a whole new way of providing deep relaxation massage from experiences with island massage from Fiji and Tonga. Strokes are completed using the hands, finger tips and forearm. As the title suggests, this is a soft touch, but not a mindless “fluff” massage.

There are 8 different aspects of Soft Touch Islands Massage. Below are listed 4 of these to give you an idea of the class offerings.

1. Change the pressure while adding slight pauses via "eye of the hurricane" stroke. Next vary sizes keeping the odd slight haphazard pause.

1. Massage with upward circles (small, large and tiny) or upward and outward circles or downward and inward, etc. When feeling confident, have one hand massaging differently than the other.

1. Lightly stroke half moon movements with one hand following a circle with the other hand. The full circle hand stays on the body with moving circles while the half moon stroke leaves the body. The half moon then touches a different part of the body than where the full circle was made.

1. Vary direction and parts of body being touched. Use your forearm to add 3-4 touches at once.

Why all the variances to strokes, pressure, direction and style? Quite simply, when the client stops using their brain to figure out where your hands are going to next, the brain shuts off and then the client can totally feel the strokes achieving a higher sense of relaxation. The addition of sound effects brings attention to the strokes and the pauses encourage letting go of stress.

Testimonials: Christa who has received hundreds of massages reported “this is the first massage I have ever had where I totally relaxed for the entire massage. Normally I feel that pain will happen and I have to guard against that. Terri was blissed out and said “Very early on in the massage I LET GO and feel more relaxed and relaxed in a different way. For me to let go is not normal. I am a control freak. As I relaxed I saw purple boxes. I want to have this kind of massage again. Mark said “It feels like 4 hands are massaging me. The lack of the anticipation of the next stroke allowed me to achieve a deeper state of relaxation.”

So for a totally blissful mind/body relaxation massage --

go to the Islands with

Soft Touch Island Massage.

Students are to bring: 2 sheets (one flannel if possible for sound effects to the massage), face cradle cover, bolster or pillow and if the venue does not supply a massage table we need 1 table per 2 students.

It actually feels better being totally covered with a sheet and either having no or little clothing on or being fully clothed with clothing being free of zippers, belts, buttons, with no bras. Tight, but comfortable clothing is better than loose clothing. The goal is for a smooth stroke over the top of the sheet. However, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

And bring a sense of fun and adventure.

Please note: For some reason therapists tend to forget to bring a face cradle cover so this is a reminder note.

Indian Head Massage for Chair and Table
$160 plus $15 material fee

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is based on an ancient Indian healing system called Ayurveda. This massage technique has been practiced for over a thousand years. The massage is calming, yet revitalizing working on the upper back, neck, shoulder, face and scalp.

Indian Head Massage can help eyestrain, headaches, improve concentration (by improving blood flow), boost hair health, relieve shoulder tension, increase neck mobility, calm the mind and ease emotional stress.

This massage is given while the client is fully clothed sitting in a chair or may be added to a table massage (with oil for arms, shoulders, neck and upper back – optional oil for scalp and face). As far as Lolita knows, she is the only one who has created Indian Head Massage strokes for the table as the tradition is only for sitting in a chair. She did this as numerous students asked for table adaptations.

Pressure points are stimulated during the massage. Oil is optional for the scalp massage for both chair and table techniques. Lolita will have organic Ayurveda herbal scalp oil from Solavedi for the class.

Learn a method that will leave your clients totallyblissed out while giving them gentle relief from physical ailments. Great to add to a regular office chair massage, for geriatric clients confined to a wheelchair -- plus learn extra creative and blissful strokes for your table massage.

WHAT TO BRING:

Needed are comfortable chairs having a low back with no arms on the chairs (check with your massage school to see if they can provide these chairs—you may want to add a cushion for back or hip support).

Bring normal requirements with a massage table such as sheets (fitted are best), massage oil, gel or cream and bolsters.

Also needed is a bath hand towel to fold up for head support with the table version.

If you bring a TV tray, music stand or clipboard to hold class handouts, it will make it easier to follow notes.

Bring water to drink and light snacks.

Students remove upper garments if they wish for the table version. A Velcro spa towel works well.

When receiving the first part of the chair version, a hair clip to tie back hair is beneficial with the hair free and loose for the second part.

Please have clean hair and use no hair products on day of class.
