As a trained artist I see creative ways to balance form with function.

As a mother I practice patience and nurture.

As a massage therapist I blend who I am with a decade of massage practice.

Massage is a dance where the movement is fluid and graceful.

Massage is music where the rhythm is soft with purposeful cadence.

Massage is meditation where we find inner peace and bliss.

The goal of the weekend is not simply to learn techniques of massage, although we’ll do that, too, but also to make the most of the relaxing, beautiful setting to explore the potential of massage to open up new possibilities in communication for couples through learning intuitive touch. Massage brings pleasure and it can also be a form of nurturing. We will explore ways of breathing, take time for walks on the trails through the redwoods and sitting in the hot tub, and work on trusting our intuitive sides. Couples will get a review of the basics of massage, including what not to do, and have sessions on focusing on particular areas of the body, such as often tender necks and shoulders. We will also practice breathing meditation, where couples sit across from one another, holding hands, and breathe in and out together so their breathing is connected and they experience inspiration through exhalation. Each couple will also have a private half-hour session with Grace at the end of the weekend for individual attention.

We seek to provide an atmosphere that is intimate and comforting – where everyone can be the way they are, say what they want to say – as long it is respectful to your fellow human beings, where it is about what you carry in yourself and not your outer appearance. As always, the group of participants that we put together shall be small, inspiring to one another and open-minded to new experiences. Meals are included from Friday night dinner to lunch on Sunday.
