Facelifting Massage is a series of specialized techniques designed to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and restore a more youthful, radiant appearance. The treatment includes gentle lymphatic drainage to help reduce puffiness and inflammation, along with the use of therapeutic tools such as facial cupping, Gua Sha, and the Kansa Wand. These techniques are combined with expert hands-on massage using the fingers, forearms, and heels of the hands to release tension and lift and sculpt the lower, middle, and upper face. We carry stress and emotion in our facial muscles, often reflecting what we experience in our daily lives. When this tension is released with skillful, nurturing touch, the benefits extend beyond the face, encouraging relaxation and balance throughout the entire body. Facelifting Massage is beneficial for people of all ages and skin types. Whether your goal is to support healthy aging, improve your skin’s natural glow, or simply enjoy deep relaxation, this treatment offers the perfect blend of therapeutic care and luxurious pampering. In this weekend workshop, we will learn to give a one hour facial treatment.

Mat or Table

In this first class Ariela office students the opportunity to learn how to give a Thai-Massage either on a mat or on a massage table. The Florida school of massage provides massage tables for all students. If you would like to work on the mat, you will need to bring one. Contact Ariela and she will help you pick one out or learn how to improvise one for this first class to see if you want to make the commitment. It's Ariela's preference to work on the ground but she is very flexible and capable of modifying everything for anybody's needs. She has written a book on Thai-Massage on the table and also has video footage to help students with the transition.

The Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage has been providing comprehensive training programs locally for over twenty years at the Florida School of Massage and nationwide. The school's extensive curriculum covers over 200 hours of Thai Massage instruction and includes published books written by the instructor for each program. Ariela is passionate about sharing her knowledge of Thai Massage and has continued to develop and share her programs with students from diverse backgrounds. LMTs can receive accreditation for licensing renewal, and other healthcare providers can incorporate this modality into their practice. Ariela emphasizes the accessibility of Thai massage for everyone. The Bodhi Sangha School offers two primary 7-month programs, both of which meet one weekend per month. The first program, commencing in May at FSM, is a progressive series of information and hands-on skills designed to cultivate Thai Yoga Massage practitioners. This program represents the culmination of Ariela's two decades of teaching and is a transformative journey of deep growth. This is an exciting chapter and phase 1 is only offered annually. This cycle is developed consecutively to ensure a harmonious progression. Although Ariela emphasizes that any time is acceptable to join, ideally the beginning is the optimal time to commence.
