It’s not a massage, it’s a journey that you embark on together with Shantam the moment you lay on his massage table. Highly recommended and his rebalancing touch will be missed!

Testimonials

Receiving a massage from Shantam is one thing, receiving a full 10 Days training was just an amazing opportunity to learn all about this deep work. Shantam shares all of his knowledge which was sometimes overwhelming but extremely interesting and inspiring. He takes time to teach one on one, to make sure you understand and you’re doing the right thing. Not only the technique but also the effect of the work on certain areas in the body. How to approach your client, how to enjoy what you are doing and that it’s all about helping the person on the table. To connect and work in your own flow instead of working only from your brain. While staying centered, focused without losing yourself in the client’s body or emotion during the massage. And a serious amount of techniques to give a dozen different sessions. The course is build in a way to prepare you to give a full session of 1,5 hour, with confidence. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and love for what he does makes those 10 days an amazing learning experience. Highly recommended for the ones who want to give more than ‘just a massage’.

I was running a yoga retreat and had a little time after it finished.
I looked online for a meditation training, and my search brought up Meditative Touch Massage Training. I am a massage therapist, and my practice had reached a level and had become a little predictable. I inquired and arranged to come to Arambol to take the course.
Sometimes the universe works to give you what you need. The course has been amazing. I will so miss our spiritual discussions and Shantam’s humor.
The training was very thorough, and English is spoken beautifully understandable. Now I have more knowledge of emotions stored in the body and has enhanced my understanding of fascia in the body. I have managed to learn so many new massage techniques, and my fingers have got a lot of strength in these ten days.
I would thoroughly recommend this course and Shantam’s love for the body and energy. The techniques are all about using your body weight and protecting and caring your self with fewer efforts.

Meditative Touch Testimonial by Natasha Heller

I had a massage with Shantam, and it was definitely not an ordinary massage, it was more than I expected. The two hours were a journey through my body, but even more through my emotional world. It wasn’t clear to me, that I collected over the last years many emotions in my body, which became trigger points. The special breathing and massage brought me deeper to the points on which I have to work further on. I laughed and I cried in between these hours, but in the end I felt light and more in balance with myself than before. So I decided to come again. The second massage, it was more emotional intensive than the first, I could really feel the combination of massage, energy healing and meditation. Shantam helped me by solving some emotional problems, and he supported me as well by my personal spiritual journey, which is still going further on. Thanks to Shantam I really could feel that I’m connected to everything around me. His massage was balm for my body and my soul. I’m sure that by these massages some emotional blockages have dissolved and in the end I felt only love for myself and others. So I will definitely come again, when I’m back in India.

Three years ago, one of my friends gave me a massage session, and I felt great after it. I had chronic pain in my left shoulder blade, and it was healed. So I was curious to know more about the kind of massage he does. He recommended me the name of Shantam and told me to take a massage session with him. Then another friend of mine said to me that he also heard about Shantam and his Therapeutic Massage Training and also recommended me to do the course with him.
Then I contacted Shantam and participated in Meditative Touch Rebalancing Massage/Bodywork training from Dec 1 to Dec 11, 2018.
During the training, Shantam was more like a friend to me than like a trainer. He helped entirely in my new journey of awareness and taught me how to connect with myself and the client on whom I am giving the message.
He taught me to work on the body as well as emotions, and how to work with the Myofascial Release and much more.
I am feeling very grateful, thankful, and healed for the work I did on myself and other people.
Thanks, dear Shantam. ❤

Did my Training in July 2019 and I am so happy I was able to learn from Shantam, in one of my favorite places in India, Bhagsu, Dharamshala in a pretty intense course with only 1 other student. He is a teacher but he never stops learning too and you can feel that. He has a special character and is quite unique, but has a big heart after all and he gave me a lot of confidence with my touch. “Massage is not about techniques, it is about the touch and how much you can stay in yourself, meditative”

I will never forget his words and am still trying to apply. I am also starting to work with massage slowly! For sure I will go to see Shantam and hopefully keep on studying and practicing massage with shantam.
Massage-exchanges in future please, Ji! 🙂

For everyone who is considering going for a course with him, I’d suggest to have a chat with shantam first and/or meet in person. Connection to the teacher is so important and precious! That’s why I chose to learn with Shantam.

I just finished the 10 day (70 hour) Meditative touch- rebalancing massage course Shantam offers in Arambol, Goa! I have learned about Ayurvedic massage in the past, which is a more gentle relaxing kind of practice, but still didn’t feel the confidence I needed to start out as a masseuse. Within these ten days Shantam not only learned all of us the strokes and the mindset behind his work, he taught us how to trust ourselves and be present in what we are doing. Meditative touch is your own meditation practice, while taking care of the body of someone. It’s a mix between deeper strokes, rocking, stretching and the gentle touch in between. I feel confident and already started out practicing what he taught us. Strength and a better flow will come with experience, but the first step has been taken when he took all of us by the hand!

Shantam is a great teacher! He is fun to be around, takes his time to explain everything and is so generous in sharing his knowledge! He gave us all the tools we need to start, the confidence being the biggest and most important one!
I would highly recommend his course and will keep spreading the word!

Thank you for everything Shantam

I just finished the 10 day meditative touch massage course with Shantam in Arambol, Goa. It was a beautiful and transformative experience and went way beyond anything I could’ve expected. Coming into the training I was really nervous because I had no experience and this was way out of my comfort zone. Shantam’s passion and expertise on his craft gave me ease and confidence to really dive in and give it my all. I enjoyed that we meditated before we start each day allowing us to drop in and connect to our heart and body so we are able to feel through our work and not be in our mind. The hands on approach to learning this skill has helped me a lot to understand that this is a mediation between client and therapist. Shantam’s patience and energy kept any negative thoughts out and worked well in the small group dynamic. After ten days of the course I feel more aligned with myself and now have new skills with a unique and special approach to massage. Thank you again, I really enjoyed my time with Shantam and all the lovely people I met! 🙏 💗✨

What did I think when I went to Shantam? I felt I had to be there!
And that was the best intuition ever! My life changed drastically after this session.
I got the answers I was searching for, for a long time, that nobody else could give me.
So, be courageous enough to look into yourself with the guidance of Shantam’s magic hands!

I just received a deep tissue massage from Shantam and it was wonderful! He is really professional, his touch is precise, deep and respectful. I highly recommend it if you like to work deep on your physical and emotional body and not only in the superficial level. One more thank you for you Shantam and see you soon!

My session with Shantam wasn’t just a message but a profound transformation of my physical and emotional well-being. Coming into his place I was feeling much pain and stiffness, and I felt I needed a full adjustment through my body. His treatment was strong, but he did the trick of what I needed; he helped become more open and worked with mussels to truly release physical and emotional stress and trauma. I was having pain in my jaw from tightness and suffering in my feet that went away after seeing him. I have to say it was the deepest and best body treatment I ever had and felt cared for in every way. I felt I could be very open with him and he was very honest about my well-being. So happy I had the chance to meet with him, and give many thanks.

I did 11 days Meditative Touch Therapeutic Massage Course with Shantam in Bhagsunag, Dharamsala. It was a great experience of my life as his massage technique is so deeply healing. Shantam is a great teacher as he gave his best to deliver every little thing, he knows. It was not all about massage it was much more than that. for example, self-love, meditation, self-healing, posture, the mindset behind his work, was part of the training. In the training, the atmosphere was so comfortable and with ease than 11 days seems nothing. I feel very lucky to learn the art of massage from Shantam. Thanks for sharing your passion in such a non-serious way 🌻.

I recently finished the ten days of massage training with Shantam in Goa, and I am super happy I chose to study with him.
Shantam’s passion and deep knowledge of a number of different massage styles is obvious, and his ability to blend them together means I left the training with a range of tools and techniques to use.
His relaxed yet professional style made the training fun, and I truly appreciated the approach of treating massage as a sacred offering and more than just a physical act. Thank you brother 🙏

Izzy Caravan

The first time I received a massage from Shantam, it was a completely mind blowing experience.. he reached things that have been untouched for a long time and allowed me to begin a new deep healing process.
Being a massage therapist myself, I really wanted to learn from him and decided to join his massage course.
More than just technical skills, he passed me all the love he has in his hands, his ability to be open and receptive and to create a real connection with people.
I really appreciated his way of explaining and showing things, sharing all his knowledge, and supporting us in practicing and finding self-confidence.
I’m very grateful that I had Shantam as a master, since that made me grow both on a professional and personal level, becoming more aware and sensitive.
Thank you Shantam for sharing your gift!

The best part of Shantam’s massage was that, even after the session, I feel an unknown healing energy still massaging me. The whole day I felt so relaxed and joyful that I can’t explain in words. My body was feeling grateful and different. I can only say thank you to you Shantam from the bottom of my heart for sharing your positive energy through your massage with me.

I was a bit Skeptical first when I heard that Shantam is a great Therapist and masseur and things like that. I thought he is good but that good as people talk it was hard for me to believe.

So my apology to him as I sent a friend of mine to have a session with him before I decided to go to him or not.

I met my friend right after the session, and the look on his face and I was wow… I need the session right now and right here… I had several sessions with Shantam. And I am very thankful for his depth and his skills with such a sharing a loving heart that eventually he becomes somebody which I can see as a friend, and I rarely see such an unconditional giving, and I am grateful for who he is and what he does and how he does.

I did my massage training with Shantam in Arambol and I enjoyed it a lot! Shantam is a Great teacher, really caring about his students and sharing all his knowledge. I liked his meditative approach of massage- really resonated with me, I learned a lot about myself and my own body too. I would definitely recommend his course!

The course was awesome, I enjoyed it a lot, it was such a great and amazing experience!
I learned a lot about the body and the massage as a meditative touch and would everybody recommend it!!
The atmosphere was really nice. Shantam was creating such a nice, open, respectful and heartly space that everybody feels comfortable and welcome to feel free. He is really competent and has an amazing knowledge about massage and how the body works, combined with a spiritual way of bringing body and soul together. I am really grateful to participate in that course 🙏.

Sandra Erni

This is a brilliant course which I highly recommend. Shantam is very passionate and competent. He teaches in a practical and loving way and shares everything he knows about massage. I estimated his encouraging way and he managed to change my view about massaging in a extremly positive way. I loved the meditative touch of this course and I`m incredible thankful for all the skills I gained and the beautiful people I met. Thank you Shantam.

Meditative Touch massage course Testimonial

Before taking the meditative touch rebalancing training I received a few sessions with Shantam which completely altered my perception of how the emotional and physical bodies coexist. I was interested in joining the course to deepen my knowledge base of how to free the body from tension and holding patterns.
Shantam is a highly skilled teacher, he provides structure to learn and practice technique daily, and allows enough space and encouragement for students to move comfortably at their own pace. It’s clear that his experience has gifted him the ability to truly master the subject and his joy for it is transferred through his teachings.
The course is not only beneficial for those interested in technique and hands on experience but also for those curious to explore the dimensions of reading the body and for those wishing to heighten their understanding of the connection between myofacial release and the emotional body.
If you are interested in learning the techniques I recommend booking a session with Shantam first in order to experience what it feels like to receive this massage from a highly experienced and intuitive body worker. Many thanks X
