Dissection Lab Intensive 2025 San Diego, CA

Oct 22, 2025

 In October 2025, AnatomySCAPES held its first ever Dissection Lab Intensive, a four-day deep dive into human anatomy where bodyworkers picked up scalpels and explored the body layer by layer. 🥼

This advanced workshop gave hands-on professionals the opportunity to develop dissection skills while exploring surface-to-deep anatomy with a fascia-focused lens, working in teams with fresh-tissue human donor forms.

What Participants Experienced:

  • Hands-on dissection – With full instruction in tools and techniques, participants learned to dissect and investigate real human anatomy in its three-dimensional context ✨
  • Layer-by-layer exploration – We worked systematically from surface to deep tissues, paying particular attention to the fascial system that keeps everything connected 👐
  • 3D "x-ray vision" – Participants developed a new way of seeing and understanding the body's architecture beneath the skin 💆‍♀️

What Participants Are Saying:

"If you're serious about your profession as a bodyworker and want to transform the way you understand, think about, and see bodies get yourself into the lab with Nicole & Rachelle! The way you touch your clients will be leveled up & transformed."

"This is not just a dissection class but a journey with the form, the instructors, and classmates. It's where you form new approaches to the body as well as new insight."

"I am very excited about approaching my work from a perspective that is informed by this 3D x-ray understanding of the fascial tissue of the body."

"As a massage therapist I've become stuck in a pattern over the years but this brings back into discovering the body again and slowing down to take it all in."
