This workshop on Somatic Mindfulness and Grounding seems like a transformative experience for massage therapists. The integration of Trager work and mindfulness-based skills not only enhances therapeutic efficacy but also addresses crucial aspects like burnout prevention and client preparation for deep work. The emphasis on proprioceptive rooting for balance and stability in the Grounding workshop sounds particularly valuable. It’s fascinating to learn that these techniques have a century-long history and have been applied in managing conditions like Polio, MS, CP, and Parkinson’s. Overall, this holistic approach, coupled with NCBTMB approval and recognition by Trager International, makes it a compelling opportunity for career development and self-care.
