Students learn to utilize bodywork techniques that reduce soft tissue dysfunction and imbalance for this purpose, including deep tissue/passive joint movement blends, structural integration, sensory repatterning, and strain/counterstrain. Development of Tai Chi principles, empathetic touch, breath, and movement mobilization enhances students’ technique effectiveness. Instruction emphasizes enhancing the students’ ability to interact verbally with her/his client by using active body dialogue, visualization and expressive movements. Students also practice objective and intuitive observation and assessment of clients’ needs. As students apply these techniques and theories, they develop an attitude of non-judgmental, noninvasive, loving embrace of the individual client.

SEI 2 Somato Emotional IntegrationThe Somato-Emotional Integration course of study will prepare massage therapists to practice in many settings, equipped with techniques specific for both psychological and physical problems. This path provides preparation for those interested in working in Western medical model practices, Holistic Health Centers, Recovery Programs and in private practice.
