FAQ
1. Is this workshop only for professionals?
No. It’s suitable for both professionals (doulas, midwives, massage therapists, physiotherapists, etc.) and anyone wanting to care for their body or their loved ones.
2. Is Rebozo massage only for pregnant women?
No. While traditionally used for pregnancy support, Rebozo techniques are versatile and beneficial for everyone – women, men, and kids.
3. I already have some experience with Rebozo. Do I still need this workshop?
Many people learn only two or three techniques with the Rebozo, but true mastery goes beyond that. I don’t know the length or depth of your previous training, but in this full-day workshop, I teach the core principles and foundations of working with the Rebozo and the whole body. This allows you to create a seamless, holistic session rather than just applying isolated techniques. After this, learning specific movements—even from a book—becomes much easier.
