The last few weeks have been dominated by massage teaching, with Jade College. I've had 2 weekends in Cambridge with the University Massage Society, getting their professional group started on the qualifying track with ITEC. It was a slightly strange experience to be back at the University, but satisfying, almost coming full circle, as I started my massage journey with the Society back in 1994. The group are a great bunch, and doing really well so far. They now have a lot of practice and self study to complete before I see them again in January.
Today was the inaugural Thai Foot Massage course with Jade, in Bedford. I'm pleased to report it went really well, and our new Thai Foot practitioners left with their wooden massage sticks in hand and a great new therapy under their belts. We intend to run the course again in the New Year, so if you're interested in doing it, please get in touch. The course is open to professionals and those just wanting to practise on friends and family.
I have a couple of offers at the moment with my colleagues at Revive Clinic, Apsley. Book a course of 10 Pilates classes with Carly Day for £60 (normally £7 a class) and get 50% off a Thai Massage with me. And if you have 5 sessions with Lily Lai or Karen Chan, the Acupuncturists and Chinese Medicine Practitioners, you get 50% off a Thai Herbal Compress treatment. This last is a great option as the weather gets colder. Steamed compresses of Thai herbs are used to gently work your muscles and joints, warming the tissues to soothe fatigue or stiffness, while the herbs nourish the skin. When it's chilly outside, this is a very comforting and nurturing massage. Why not indulge yourself, or buy a voucher and treat a friend?
