100 Hour Esalen® Massage Program

April 4-10 AND May 3-9, 2025

Available to licensed massage and bodywork practitioners only, this unique 100 hour professional training will provide a deep understanding of the approach and techniques of Esalen® massage.

Experiential learning classes will enable students to develop a balance between technique, intuition, and creativity. This course focuses on foundations of Esalen massage as an awareness practice. Through this course we will move through different areas of the body focusing on a variety of techniques to address muscle tension, body holding patterns, and injury, while applying the principles of mindfulness and flow.  Our study of massage technique is augmented through applied anatomy, methods of self-care, and enhanced communication skills.

This training is designed to be deeply transformational and will give you tools for awakening your senses and bringing more awareness to your massage practice and your life. It is for licensed massage & bodywork practitioners wanting to deepen their bodywork practice and add the Esalen massage approach to their work. 

Upon completion of all coursework you will be issued an Esalen massage certificate by the Esalen massage and Bodywork association, along with membership to the organization, a practitioner listing on the website, and numerous resources.
