Why Learn With Marcia?
Learn Through Experience
These trainings combine practical skills with direct experience, allowing learning to be felt, embodied, and integrated rather than simply understood intellectually.
Develop Confidence & Presence
Build confidence in your skills while cultivating the presence, awareness, and authenticity that create meaningful practitioner-client relationships.
Expand Beyond Technique
Explore how movement, breath, touch, energy, and emotional awareness can enrich both your treatments and your personal wellbeing.
Connect With Community
Share the journey with like-minded practitioners in a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, growth, and authentic connection.
Embody Your Practice
At Awaken MBS, learning is about more than acquiring skills.
These trainings are an invitation to deepen your connection with yourself, your work, and the wisdom held within the body.
As we strengthen the connection between mind, body, heart, and soul, our practice naturally becomes more authentic, intuitive, and impactful.
Through touch, movement, breath, awareness, and presence, we learn not only how to support others but how to embody the qualities we wish to bring into the world.
Whether you join us for the Heartworks Lomi Lomi training or one of Marcia's Healing Arts & Embodied Awareness workshops, you will be welcomed into a learning experience that honours growth, connection, curiosity, and transformation.
