At Green Tara College we teach a fabulous in-depth deep tissue healing massage using Swedish massage techniques which can be used for many ailments especially for deep healing and relaxation. Many of the techniques and methods of applying this massage have been developed and streamlined by Majella during her 30 years of experience. This treatment that we will teach you , in comparison to others, is without doubt a deluxe holistic massage.
Our sincere aim is to encourage each individual student therapist to develop your own natural skills and gifts to enable you to use your gifts to streamline treatments to your individual client’s needs, be they family, friends and/or the professional client.
We also teach from a spiritual & holistic perspective for anybody who is interested in developing skills to tune into your client’s needs – physically, emotionally and mentally, bringing to them the treatment that best meets their needs. You can take away what works for you on an individual level. You will truly notice the difference in an energetic massage treatment.
