Tom massaging at Esalen

Tom Wilson — Esalen Massage


I have practiced Swedish massage for eight years. I am originally from Fremantle, but in January of 2008 I journeyed to the Esalen Institute in Northern California to undertake a professional certification program of massage. Esalen has been an internationally respected teaching centre for massage for many decades, and my training at Esalen was an in depth combination of anatomy and hands on learning.

Esalen massage is a style of massage that uses many of the techniques of Swedish massage, as well as long, full body integrating strokes, many rotations of the joints, and an emphasis on the quality of the presence of the therapist.

I have also completed three years of a four year Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Notre Dame University, Western Australia.
