An online workshop with Erika Gimbel, MFT
Explore Healing Through Touch
If it has been awhile since you've experienced massage there may be a build up of tension and debris, that would best go back into circulation in the rest of the organism. This effects us on a physical, emotional, spiritual & even psychic level. Learn touch tools for massage mastery as both the giver and the receiver.
Massage Mastery for Wholistic Healing
Wholistic Psychotherapy includes somatic practices to loosen stuck places and breathe into painful parts. One of the most useful tools we have is our hands. Let Erika guide you, on your own or with a partner, through these touch techniques to help you
What's It All About?
Sleep Better
We know that better sleep helps, umm, everything. But sometimes we don't know how to get there.
Experience Grace and Gratitude
It's a two way street with benefits on both sides.
Bring Flow to Tight Areas
Physical ease, mental ease.
Ignite Creativity
Stimulate your mind and alight your senses.
Benefits of Touch
The effects of good touch are profound & manifold: There are several different energy bodies, be it physical, emotional, spiritual or even psychic realms. You can tap in and effect each of these bodies to have overall wellness, grounding and peace.
Massage supports ones breathing into parts of the body that have been tightened. Massage creates a fabulous regulatory slow down to ones jacked up nervous system! Just to get off of our devices and into this presence is such a present.
Have a fresh perspective on the old issues, by changing one’s physical state.
What if the very people who you you are around regularly could offer some version of a massage treatment?
Would you make the time to practice fabulous techniques that are profound for both the giver and the receiver?

"It was the height of the pandemic and I hadn’t had a massage in months. Erika led a couples massage class (over Zoom) and it was fantastic! Not only was it just what we needed, but Erika’s knowledge and excellent teaching made the class fun and informative. I’m excited for her new classes and can’t wait to participate in person."
