​Your body is a gift
have you unpacked its miracles?

​

Welcome to a living inquiry into body intelligence
a eight-month journey of shared exploration

Year Training
Over the course of 10 months we explore attunement and safety with our body and each other, through highly effective touch techniques based on fascia knowledge.  Designed to invite ourselves and each other to become fully present in our body's, in connection and in aliveness. 

Many people experience emotional numbness, disconnection or a lack of fulfilment. They feel cut off from their bodies, carry tension or pain, experience noise in relationships, missing a safe space to enter into deep, genuine contact — with themselves and one another.

We are not made to self-regulate (only)... but often just haven't experienced much of what we so crave!
What does your body need to feel heard, understood and alive?  
​
You will discover how your body speaks its own language of attunement — unique for every body, every exchange.

An invitation into feeling, depth, and true meeting.

Who It’s For
Regenerative Touch & Embodiment is especially suited for pairs who already know each other — friends, couples, family members, or practice partners who wish to connect and deepen through touch and body intelligence. It’s also ideal for (expecting) parents who want to create a shared space for replenishment and support healthy touch with their children.
You can use this training as a springboard to bring more meaningful touch into daily life.
Knowing each other already makes safety of the group and the quality of exchange high.
If you wish to join as an individual, we look together for a suitable partner to practice with between training days.

“Rarely have I experienced a training where something so complex is offered with such simplicity, power, and immediate embodiment.”

Regenerative Bodywork, what is it?
This approach helps both giver and receiver enter a regenerative state. Regenerative literally means becoming anew — in mutual touch with the source of connection, vitality and wellbeing.
The techniques and principles support you in finding the natural language of your body and its “sweet spot” of attunement. Ease is key here.

A core part of the approach is a living inquiry through the wondrous connective tissues (fascia), as your fascia is the organ of your sense of self-perception.
For many, fascia knowledge is new. We connect this theory directly with hands-on experiences, so you can feel why it’s relevant in finding a tailored approach — unique for every body and every interaction.

Training Structure

• Training days: a bit of theory and mostly explorative exercises & hands-on practice 
• Food: coffee, tea, snacks, and a lunch of soup with  bread included
• Individual session: one private session with Maria, that you can plan when you like during the course 
• Peer practice: between training days you practice with your buddy  (or others if desired)
• Practice assignment: give at least eight 1.5-hour sessions to at least three different people and write a short report (having a massage table is helpful)
• Guidance: during the training you can book two 30-minute check-ins with Maria and submit written questions that she integrates into the training
• Self-study: you’ll receive a reader and a list of suggested literature and videos; sometimes you’ll be asked to read or watch material in advance
• Practical use: by the end, you’ll be able to give a 1–2-hour session. You can use Regenerative Touch in your own circle, and as continuing education for other bodywork forms, or as a foundation for deeper professional development. ​
• Note: This year training is primarily designed for personal and relational use — to enrich your life with fulfilling, restorative touch.  Learning the techniques for professional use goes one step further (a separate training is offered for people who want to use this professionally) ; this training offers the basis for an attuned, preventive, integrative approach to structural & trauma sensitive bodywork.

Fees for the Year Training
€ 1500,- (including tax ) for eight training days, including one individual session

Topics throughout the training
​Regenerative Embodiment
In Regenerative Touch & Embodiment, we approach the body as a gift.

We deepen into the felt sense of safety through both self-regulation, and co-regulation — foundations of embodied presence. Not only through touch, but also through breath work, movement, and other group exercises accessing body intelligence as a full spectrum resource of information. 

Regenerative Touch
You will be taken along in the principles of Regenerative Touch — the foundation of which our explorations can launch. 

The Craniosacral System & the Nervous System in Relation to Fascia
We dive into the integral anatomy of the fascial network and how everything in the body interrelates. You are introduced to the 3 main forms or layers of fascia. 
We study the role of fascia in body awareness and practice various techniques.
We explore the subtle world of the craniosacral system and the the nervous system, and how this informs the fascia and responds to our thinking and emotional and relational life.
We address the main gateways into the parasympathetic nervous system and experience how we can invite the body to open up rather than 'make' it to open up. 

Communication & Integration. 
We create a safe space for our processes, reflection and the beautiful enfolding called You. 
We will often touch upon the connection between language, your frame of reference, and body intelligence. We look at how early attachment shapes our connection to our bodies, and how to invite integration, not as a quick fix but as a natural unfolding when tuning back in to the connectedness that, from the perspective of your body intelligence, is always available to you. 

Holding Space from Wellbeing
A key aspect of this work is the capacity to provide a safe, grounded space for another. We explore how to hold space with ease — guided by principles of wellbeing.
