Journey into the MATRIX 2025 San Diego, CA

 In October 2025, massage therapists traveled from across the nation (from as far as Florida, Virginia, Idaho, and Washington State) to join us in San Diego for Journey into the MATRIX: The Fascial System Intensive. 🔬

Over three transformative days, participants explored the fascial system from superficial to deep through dynamic classroom lectures, live dissection demonstrations with fresh-tissue human donor forms, and hands-on massage application at the treatment tables.

What Made This Workshop Special:

• Real anatomy, real impact – Participants observed and palpated unpreserved fascial tissues, experiencing the textures from the densely packed collagen fibers of the IT band to the slippery-slidey gels of loose connective tissue ✨
• Three-part learning approach – From classroom concepts with vibrant slide decks and 3D model building, to live dissection exploration, to immediate integration at the massage tables 👐
• Micro to macro perspective – Students explored fascia all the way down to the extracellular matrix — understanding how the matrix functions at every level 💆‍♀️

The response? Participants left with "super sonic feeling" in their hands and a deeper reverence for the tissues they work with daily. Here are a few comments from this year's participants: 

Feedback from other MATRIX students: 

"MATRIX is hands down the best class I have ever taken. It is FUN. Seriously. Just simply the best investment I have made in myself + my business."

"I knew this would be good/great - but I didn't know how exceptional it would be. Truly, you are both a gift to our industry. My only final thought is - when and how can I come back ?" 

"My bodywork will never be the same."

"The entire experience was presented and handled with such reverence, and respect, and from such a place of enthusiasm to teach. It was an infectious learning environment. MATRIX provides an excellent look inside the body that provides a new, deeper perspective."

"These ladies deliver (10/10). It is like peeling back the layers of the bodywork experience and then putting it back together again in a very useful way. Very excellent for the tactile, kinisthae learner."

"From Beginning to End this course exceeded my expectations. The preparation and thoughtfulness of details such as snacks, lunch, arts & crafts, etc. has raised the bar for other CEU. The team went above and beyond to treat us as professionals."

"Both Rachelle & Nicole are so passionate, approachable & well versed in their craft & in the study of fascia."

"I would recommend it to any bodyworker who had never seen any live dissections before. It really helps inform a more 3D and realistic understanding of the body and how much there is of importance beyond muscles."

"This should be an added course for Massage Therapy schools - the quality of 'touch' is really embraced w/this class."
