Massage Workshops by Indah


Touch is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support wellbeing, connection and relaxation. My massage workshops are designed for anyone who would like to learn practical massage techniques to use at home, with loved ones, or as part of their personal wellness journey.

As a physiotherapist since 2009 and massage therapist since 2006, I love sharing simple, effective techniques that help people feel more confident using touch in a safe and mindful way. All workshops are hands-on, relaxed and suitable for beginners.


Techniques covered in the workshops

You will learn techniques for one chosen body area, such as:

  • Back, neck and shoulders

  • Head, neck and face

  • shoulders, arms and hands
