The Body Journey Certification- reimagine your practice!
Take your clients on an unforgettable Journey!
As a certified provider of The Body Journey Massage Experience®, you will take your clients on an unforgettable journey every time.
We believe an exceptional massage can be as powerful and transporting as an unforgettable concert — where you’re swept away and weightless from the show's energy. Just like music can move you beyond thought and into pure feeling, a great massage can take you on a full-body journey — dissolving tension, quieting the mind, and awakening a deep, undeniable sense of inner peace. It’s more than just bodywork — it’s an invitation to let go, drop in, and reconnect with the stillness that’s always been within.
With our program, you’ll learn how to turn a massage into a profound, transformational experience — something far beyond routine bodywork. The Body Journey Massage Experience® Certificate Program teaches you, step-by-step, how to guide your clients into deep, altered states of consciousness where true healing can occur.
By seamlessly weaving together 360-degree bodywork, acupressure energy work, and sound healing, you’ll create sessions that feel less like a massage and more like a journey — where your client’s body, mind, and spirit fully surrender. And then, like magic…
Their chi will open. Energy will flow in waves from head to toe. Tension will dissolve. And your clients will emerge changed — lighter, clearer, and deeply restored. This is not just massage — it's a gateway to something far greater. And once you master it, your clients will never look at massage the same way again.
Bringing the ART back into the healing arts.
As spirituality becomes more mainstream and life moves faster, people are craving deeper forms of healing — like sound baths, acupressure, bodywork, and shamanic sessions. The Body Journey Massage Experience® meets that craving by expanding what a massage can offer, guiding clients beyond physical relief into profound inner connection.
I've witnessed it countless times — clients tapping into their body's wisdom, receiving guidance, and experiencing deep shifts. Our brain isn’t just in our head — it's woven throughout our body, constantly communicating. This work helps open those lines of communication, allowing healing to unfold from the inside out.
This is a rare and unique invitation to step into your spiritual/witchy/shaman self when you practice massage. You’ll be creating sessions that are both sacred and psychedelic – one could call it “sacredelic.”
This training is for bodyworkers who are already excellent at what they do.
But keep in mind that this certification is not all woo-woo. It is grounded in millennia-old practices of Chinese medicine. You'll learn potent acupressure points and all fourteen meridians. You’ll be taught 360-degree strokes that envelop the body and are efficient and effective for releasing tension. You will learn polyphonic overtones, creating 2-3 pitches at once, and how to apply them to the body. You will learn how to give a 100% supine full-body massage, real foot reflexology, hand-releasing techniques, and other techniques that can make even a caffeinated person drift into a parasympathetic response.

"tune in and listen deeper!"
Body Journey Massages allow clients to tap into their deeper senses, connect with their bodily wisdom, and receive guidance. Our brain is all over our body, not just in our heads. Our bodies communicate with us all the time- let’s help open those lines of communications!
The idea for the Body Journey Massage Experience was born during a session in 1994. In my Mill Valley office at dusk, listening to cosmic music, I felt drawn to occasionally pause on specific acupressure points. I felt my client’s chi pulsing as she drifted in and out of consciousness. Coming back into her body, the client exclaimed, “Wow! That felt like the psychedelic journeys that I do with my therapist." I responded without much thought, "well, it is a journey with your body. A Body Journey." We chuckled – the idea was born. Thirty years later, the inspiration has fully matured into an outstanding massage treatment that provides clients with a unique and transformative experience.
We want to help you avoid burnout and have as much fun as possible in your massage practice. With our certification program, you can deepen and expand on the beautiful sessions you already provide, bringing even more value to your clients. Join us and take your practice to the next level!
What people have said:
You can tell when you're getting a Body Journey Massage from Tonia, that she both really cares about you and loves what she does. She takes the time to figure out what's going on in your body and addresses each concern -- this is not some casual spa massage that leaves you wondering if you even got a massage but rather deep and transformative work that is worth every penny. - Casey B.
I feel much freer in my work after taking a class with Tonia. She helped me to trust what I feel under my hands. I now have more confidence in my touch. - Jennifer J.
I journeyed to a serene southwest landscape in my mind during my massage. I am a Vietnam vet with PTSD. Tonia's massage room is the antithesis of war. At times it felt like I was in the presence of angels. I get brought back to a deep state of relaxation and inner peace after a Body Journey massage. These sessions are an essential part of my healing. - Eugene C.
"Frequency + intention = healing" Tom Kenyon, sound healer
Massage, acupressure, and sound journeying have been around for centuries, but combining these three approaches creates a truly magical and transformative experience.
We urge you not to join our certification program solely to make more money. The reason to dive into this profound work is to expand your capacity to affect real change in people's lives. When you provide a Body Journey Massage Experience®, people will naturally want to compensate you for the value you bring to their lives.
Our approach has been well-received at Cavallo Point Spa, a five-star spa north of San Francisco, for the past six years. Despite being the most expensive massage treatment they offer, people don't hesitate to book it. Join us and bring this transformative experience to your clients.
