For complete beginners
OMOIYARI massage workshop
A relaxed 90 minutes for anyone who has thought "I'd like to try massage". You work in pairs, giving and receiving, on the hands, forearms and shoulders. The aim is not to memorise techniques. It is to feel what touch does.
- Stroking, kneading, tapping, holding: how the way you touch changes the result
- Dry massage compared with oil or cream
- Why firmer is not always better, and how the same touch feels different to different people
- Using your hands, arms and body so that you do not tire
- Checking pressure and putting the other person at ease
- Length
- 90 minutes
- Group
- Up to 6 people
- Fee
- $100 per person at the September 2026 session. Oil, cream and tea included.
- Wear
- Something easy to move in, with sleeves you can roll up
- Note
- This is an introduction, not a course that leads to a qualification.
The most recent open session was on Sunday 27 September 2026. For the next date, text Mayumi. Groups of two to six can also book their own session at any time, at $100 per person.
