Join me in a full one-day workshop. Small group.

Learn practical and effective hands-on massage techniques for your elderly loved ones at home or in aged care.

A workshop designed specifically for applying therapeutic touch to elderly who are non-ambulatory and/or require to be seated.

What is Casa Therapie™?

Casa Therapie™ uses various hands-on techniques inspired by methodologies such as the Bowen Technique, reflexology, thai massage and remedial rehabilitation techniques.

It is a blended soft tissue technique that is gentle for the receiver and the giver, requiring only a pair of capable hands, compassion, the intention to heal and foster connection.

Casa Therapie™ combines practical hands-on skills with a spiritual approach that is grounded in:
♡ Intention
♡ Connection
♡ Care
♡ Skill

Who is this workshop for?

This is a course for everyone!  Anyone who wants to give quality of life for their loved ones in the home or in aged care residences; it is also suitable for caregivers and all healthcare practitioners / bodyworkers.

The one-day course is designed for helping the elderly person who is essentially non-ambulatory; who require to be in a wheelchair/chair, whether it is a temporary situation or permanent.  Casa Therapie™ is therefore very practical even when visiting your loved ones in an aged care or similar. 

The practical component of the workshop will be carried out on chairs (with arm rests) applied on clothed persons.   We learn to apply the techniques in the most effective and comfortable way for both receiver and giver in a home environment with minimal props.  Workshop participants will practice on each other in a private small group with full supervision and assistance from Jenny.

The material contained in the workbook and techniques taught, are founded on Jenny’s professional qualifications and decades of experience in bodywork, including and especially her own personal experience in caring for her mother in aged care.

About Jenny

Jenny Petridis. - Your instructor

Jenny Petridis is a Melbourne-born, qualified soft tissue therapist since 2005, with extensive experience in bodywork as a practitioner, presenter and teacher.  In the early years, she worked in several multidisciplinary clinics in Melbourne including palliative care massage at the Royal Women’s hospital.

Inspired by various methodologies from east and west, Jenny eventually set out to create her own healing techniques. Casa Therapie™  is close to her heart and home. [Casa = “home” in Spanish, one of the 4 languages she speaks.]

What's next after the Basic Workshop?

Next level

★ There will be follow-up workshops that build upon the basic Casa Therapie™ workshop. They will cover more techniques and introduce more science, biology and other principles and practices to optimise healing.

★  The next level course is a series of short workshops that will include topics such as ‘the science of touch”; (more) common symptoms of elderly and what you can do; quantum principles in healing; paratonia/spasticity – what is it and how to best treat, more mobilisation  and passive movement techniques and more Bowen techniques. More to look forward to!

★ The next level workshops are similarly designed for all family members, friends, care-givers and health practitioners. The basic workshop is a pre-requisite.
