Teacher Bio: Angela Crossman (Massage Basics)

Name: Angela Crossman

Class Title: Massage Basics: Taking care of yourself & others (10-11:30am)

Summary of Class: Get comfortable in your body and confident in your hands by learning a few tips and tricks of the massage trade. The class will feature a combination of demonstration and hands-on relaxation techniques for some oh-so-popular areas of the body like hands, feet, shoulders and necks. You’ll learn how to get grounded, how to avoid injury and fatigue (no more finger cramps after 3 minutes), and how to make both giving and receiving massage easy and fun.

Your experience (in area of skill you are sharing): After years of corporate consulting work, I decided to pursue greater balance in my life and connection with my love of massage and healing. I fled the city for Santa Fe New Mexico where I studied the healing arts at the New Mexico Academy of Healing arts. I am a licensed massage therapist (LMT) and reiki practitioner with a private practice in the Flatiron District in Manhattan.

Why are you teaching at the Skillshare? I am so excited to be part of the first BKSS! As a Brooklynite and a big proponent of community-based education, I think this is going to be a great event. And I love sharing the awesome energy and power of a good massage with others so they can take better care of themselves and those they love.
