Community Workshops
Prenatal Massage Partner Workshop
In this 75 minute workshop, your partner will learn simple yet effective massage techniques to bring comfort and relaxation to you during pregnancy. In this fully clothed workshop, you and your partner will be on a comfortable padded mat on the floor with cushions and pillows to allow for a deeply relaxing experience.
Some of the areas of massage include hips, back, shoulders, neck, face/scalp, and feet. The techniques learned in class can be adapted to a mattress or yoga mat at home so you’re able to experience regular bodywork between the professional prenatal massages we hope you’re able to receive during your pregnancy!
This is a semi private workshop that is only open to two couples at a time, which means your partner will get lots of personalized feedback to feel comfortable with the massage techniques they will learn.
Fall 2026 dates coming soon!
Self-Care Facial Gua Sha
In this 90 minute group workshop, you will learn how to implement a facial gua sha self care routine. We will start with a relaxing yoga sequence to open the front of the body and prepare for a deeply relaxing scalp and face treatment. Facial gua sha helps to relieve tension in the face, neck and scalp, and improves circulation. The jojoba oil used is nourishing for the skin and hair and will leave your skin glowing! You will receive a gua sha tool, a facial lymphatic dry brush, and 1 oz bottle of Jojoba oil to use in class and take home.
Upcoming Dates:
Stay tuned for dates for Self-Care Facial Gua Sha and Couples Massage workshops Fall 2026!
