Alongside this event, Massage World and Lotus Publishing will be running a speaker and workshop programme called Bodyreaders. Why not sign up to this workshop and earn some CPD points? You will have the chance to listen to some experts in body reading, for example James Earls who first trained in bodywork in 1991 before studying with Thomas Myers in 2000. He now practices structural integration and massage therapy in Belfast and is the director of Ultimate Massage Solutions and Kinesis UK. Suzanne Wylde will be demonstrating her “Moving Stretch” technique. Suzanne provides Acupuncture and Revive Resistance Stretching sessions for health and flexibility in London at her Covent Garden and Waterloo clinics.
The cost of Bodyreaders is £75.00 for the two days and this will also give you access to the Grand Final of the World Championship event and the Awards Ceremony, which will be held in the Blue auditorium. Each delegate will be given an event bag worth £75.00, containing free books, posters and massage consumables to the value of £75.00.
