A photo on Day Zero Project on the goal: Take a course in massage therapy

Did a practical course in ‘Aromatouch’. It was massaging people’s back, head and feet with aromatherapy oils. It included running fingers up the spine to spread the oil, pressing the hands horizontally up the sides of the back, pulling the palms up the back and arms, and walking the thumbs up the back. This was what I wanted from a practical course. It was also nice to receive a massage. (less) (less)

I put theory into practice by giving my partner a massage and she was very pleased. I may try using base oils next time as the teacher recommended - as my skin is too sensitive for essential oils, but this time I just used a sheet with no oil. At this stage I'm happy with the course I did and don't plan on a more comprehensive one (partly because of my oil phobia) so I'll tick this off. I did recommend a part two to the course I did so we can practice in the course next time. (less) (less)
