Feel And Follow ™ Therapeutic Bodywork changes lives
Previous clienets and students regularly report our trainings and mentoring helped them to discover a deep and resounding sense of purpose and skills to facilitate positive change with group and individual client work.
Given the true power, simplicity and clarity of the "Feel and Follow" session approaches and structure you really can learn to give your client tools to move towards their life and wellness goals in a highly effective way.
What is a huge relief for people who discover this way of working is that as a body-based
guide, this way of working liberates the
practitioner from the feeling they have to
have all the answers and puts the
choice and power back firmly
with the client.
The School of Relational Bodywork
Private Sessions, Practitioner Trainings & Teaching Clinics
Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, Portugal
If you are looking at becoming a bodywork professional we would be very happy to give you some experiencing of the the depth and efficacy of Feel and Follow, restorative bodywork approaches. This training and teachings are the result of over 20 years of practice and teaching by founder Julian Marcus + the amazing input of mentors and supporting international faculty.
Our programs will ground you in skilful touch, and develop confidence in the transformative power of presence and deep body listening with clients. We demonstrate our approaches through real, clinical client interactions in the teaching observation clinical practice components and from the beginning you will be encouraged to experience the work first hand yourself so you can really get a feel for it and experience the benefits and results.
You will be guided to find your own inner resource of stillness and trust in the innate unfolding session plan as a truly person-centred way to serve others. This work invariably brings deep satisfaction as a practitioner and lends itself to an empowering path towards wholistic wellness for self and those we work with.
Feel and Follow™ - Our Relational Focus
We look forward to supporting you in taking your practice to the next level.
...that being said, the quality of touch we help you share is highly relaxing and effective at supporting tissue wellness and healing.
With simplicity and deep reverence to the receivers healthy blueprint and life force energy you will learn to follow the clients body cues and capacity to ask for exactly what they need in that moment with confidence and clarity.
Our 5 Day - 30 hour, level 1 modules give you a practical grounding in an exiting range of massage and bodywork tools, all focused on a finely attuned presence and quality of connection.
The ongoing thread of our work is relational touch and coaching skills that bridge talk and touch with treatment model / techniques and body as expert coaching model. This dual spectrum approach supports the one receiving this work to notice, trust, value and communicate on a whole new level of body-felt (interoceptive) awareness and clarity. We build upon these foundational modules with our ongoing embodiment teaching observation clinics and monthly community practice calls online.
Our emphasis on practically focused courses and teaching clinics are designed with intention that practitioners take away not only new skills to integrate into their current therapy or bodywork practice but embodied confidence from these community learning experiences of a co-caring team working with the public live.

Who are our relational bodywork trainings for?
Who are our relational bodywork trainings for?
We teach you tried and tested body-based coaching skills to guide the client to trust and communicate their needs and desires for increased satisfaction and noticeably improved session outcomes.
Are you a coach or talk therapists who is looking to gain experience with touch, or if not planning to work with touch exactly, then to perhaps utilise the sense of safety created with the latest somatic and embodiment practices to support your client in their needs and goals? The Feel and Follow toolkit for resilience and embodiment is immediately applicable for living in more embodied alignment to the personal updates and breakthroughs gained from the therapeutic work you already do.
We also very much welcome movement teachers working in areas such as dance, yoga, Pilates, fitness or care work who wish to enhance their touch or therapeutic relating skills while deepening their understanding of the working with embodied consent to be more person centred.
If you are looking for ongoing support with your practice we invite you to get in contact to see if what we offer fits.
