Embodied Presence and Conscious Assists is a weekend designed for teachers who want to refine how they read bodies and how they communicate through touch. This training blends subtle body awareness, nervous system literacy, energetic clarity, and clean physical technique. You will learn how to offer assists that feel safe, grounded, and connected while staying fully present to the entire room.

Touch is a language. When it is offered with presence and conscious intention, it builds trust. It encourages breath. It helps students feel stable enough to soften or strong enough to activate. This weekend is built to give you structure, theory, and extensive hands on practice so your assists feel clear, attuned, and trustworthy.
