The 4Elements Touch Therapy Approach combines

exquisite Zero Strain Bodywork

Therapeutic Communication Tools for bodyworkers (informed by the psychotherapeutic approach of  Transactional Analysis)

Trauma-informed protocols to build Resilience through Massage

and an active and supportive Community you can be part of as much - or as little - as suits you

You learn at your own pace
- with the option to complete in just a single year

Zero Strain Massage

Learn how to continue delivering top quality Massage treatments without any risk of injury from your clinical work. Thousands of students have learned this approach and been able to continue far longer than they had ever hoped before. Injury does not have to be time limiting in your work - in fact we think the loss of therapists to injury just as their clinical experience has built is a tragedy. The Touch you'll learn to deliver is soft yet powerful for your clients (no ouchy elbows or boney bits needed), is truly zero strain (no supported thumbs or "doubling up") and an utter delight to deliver. Many of our practitioners feel better emotionally & mentally after a full day of clients than before!
Available as a 3-day standalone course or for the best savings, book as part of the complete 4Elements Touch Therapy approach package (see below)

Communication Mastery for Bodyworkers

Increase the therapeutic potency of your communication with clients tenfold and learn how to spot, and step out of the communication dramas that go on day-in-day out in the treatment room and beyond. This course introduces you to psychotherapeutic models from Transactional Analysis that have been in use by psychotherapists since the 1960s. However, we're not training you to become a talking therapist - your value as a bodyworker is far too great! Instead, these powerfully effective tools have been integrated for use by Massage therapists to take your client work to a whole new level - without any new massage techniques at all. We cannot recommend this course highly enough - reports of it being lifechanging both in and out of the treatment room keep coming in.

Touch for Resilience

Learn to offer clothed chair-based treatments which have been designed to soothe your client's nervous system. This creates a space where they can process stress or trauma in a safe environment - gradually, gently yet powerfully building their resilience. You will learn tools to keep you and your client psychologically safe, including how to spot clients dropping into trauma even when its almost invisible. The techniques you learn can be used for a whole range of treatment durations, and you'll learn clear protocols for offering packages of treatments designed for people who are struggling most with their mental wellbeing, trauma, chronic conditions or with day-to-day living.
