A Comprehensive Bodywork Training

Discover the life-changing power of touch, presence, and connection in this immersive 4-day Thai Yoga Massage training that combines two of Dominique’s signature courses into one nourishing experience. Rooted in ancient wisdom and attuned to the realities of our modern time, this training blends the foundational techniques of Thai Yoga Massage with the heart-centered principles of the Feminine Approach and the sensitivity of Trauma-Informed Care.

Over four spacious days, you’ll receive hands-on instruction, embodiment practices, guided discussion, and community connection. You'll not only learn how to offer a full Thai Yoga Massage sequence—you’ll also deepen your capacity to meet others with compassion, intuition, and safety.

This course is open to beginners, repeaters, and advanced practitioners alike—whether you’re a licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher, or simply someone drawn to healing touch.

What You’ll Experience & Explore

Trauma-Informed Care:

• Understanding trauma and its effects on the body, mind, and energy systems

• Tools for navigating emotional dysregulation with attunement and compassion

• Conversations on collective healing and embodied resilience

Embodiment & Integration:

• Daily practices in Yoga, Qigong, and Meditation

• Partner exercises and breakout sessions to anchor your learning

• Space for personal reflection, community connection, and playful exploration

Continuing Education for LMT’s

Licensed Massage Therapists will receive 16 CE credits for each 2-day module (up to 32 CE credits total for full participation).

You do not need to be an LMT to attend.

✧ Attendance Options

Full 4-Day Experience (Recommended):

This option offers the deepest integration, skill-building, and connection. Ideal for those ready to step into the full richness of the work.

Weekend-Only Option (Saturday & Sunday):

For those unable to attend the full training, a 2-day option is available. This condensed experience still offers valuable tools and hands-on practice.
Note: Weekend-only pricing is slightly higher to account for limited space and focused instruction.

Participants’ Testimonial

I found Dominique’s teaching style to be incredibly effective. She brings a deep reverence for the tradition, weaving in mindfulness practices and foundational philosophy that helped me engage with the techniques more confidently and clearly. Her instruction is precise, and the written and visual aids were incredibly helpful—both during the training and in retaining what I learned afterward.

The rhythm of demonstration followed by hands-on practice kept the experience dynamic and seemed to work well for everyone in the class. Dominique is a clear and direct guide, yet also warm, receptive to questions, and sensitive to her students' needs.

I learned so much during the course, and even a month later, I find myself remembering and applying what I learned with ease. If you're interested in learning Thai massage or deepening your healing work in any form, this should be at the top of your list. And Dominique is such a gem to be around—we laughed often and also dropped deeply into the practice, thanks to the way she held the container.
