Massage Workshop

Join us for a relaxed 3-hour Saturday morning workshop where you’ll learn how to give a simple, nourishing massage and how to receive one too.

In this workshop, I’ll guide you through a simple massage sequence inspired by Shiatsu. No previous experience needed, everything is designed to be easy to follow and repeat at home.

We’ll be working on futons and mats on the floor (no massage table needed), using body weight rather than force.

Bring someone you love - a partner, friend, or family member - and spend meaningful time together, learning the language of touch.


I’ve been working with the body for over 15 years (and over 10 years as a Shiatsu therapist), and one thing I keep seeing is this:

something shifts when we start really listening through touch. It doesn’t come from complicated techniques, but from presence and attention.


What you’ll learn:

  • A simple, effective massage sequence

  • How to work on the back and legs (with your partner lying face down)

  • How to use your body in a comfortable, safe way

  • Tips to protect your posture while giving massage

  • How to share caring, relaxed touch with someone you love

  • This is not about doing things perfectly it’s about connecting, exploring, and enjoying the process.

Hi, I’m Ania

I'm a Shiatsu therapist, deep tissue practitioner, and Caesarean scar therapist. I blend ancient therapy that works with meridian paths with deep fascia work trusting the intelligence that lives in your body. It's a mix of deep fascia work and an understanding of energetics, a holistic approach that honors both the physical and energetic layers of healing.
