You will Learn:
The Sattvic Awakening Touch
Sattva is the guna of goodness, purity, and enlightenment. It is mostly depicted as a white swan treading through the contaminated oceans of misery, pure and untouched. The swan exists within the environment but is not effected by it. It partakes only in the nectar at the heart of the Lotus. Sattva is the goal towards purification and divinity. This Pranic method works on the subtle level of Consciousness and requires a special touch to affect tranquility and love.
Benefits:
- Sedates nervous tension (Grounding)
- Opens cognitive cellular memory
- Facilitates a meditative state
- Aids in clearing the mind
- Promotes Creativity
- Helps decision making
- Sharpens awareness and intuition
The touch is gentle and effective. It is a series of slow, rocking movements which soothe the client with pure nurturing. Herbal medicated oils are then poured and massaged generously into the skin, focusing on the scalp, hair, face, neck, shoulders, and feet. Gentle, continuous movement caresses the client into a sedated mode of comfort.
The Rajasic Kinetic touch sequence
Rajas is the Guna of movement, change, passion, and internal/external activity. It is the tiger who surveys her domain for consumption. Kinetic works towards movement and transformation. Body mapping similarly is scanning the body tissue, state of mind, and aligning thought towards a spiritual purpose.
Benefits:
- Stimulates motivation
- Nourishes the skin
- Creates spiritual rhythm
- Increases heat
- Aids in the elimination of toxins
- Addresses muscular tensions and chronic pain
- Improves blood circulation to the body tissue
The Active (Tamasic*) massage sequence:
Kinetic touch inspires opening, and movement towards change; to increase movement with specific Marma points which cool and calm the physical body. The massage is firm and steady, stimulating the release of tension and opening higher levels of consciousness. It inspires the release of negative habitual patterns towards an individual’s unique purpose.
*Tamas is the mode of ignorance, stagnation, darkness, and inertia. This is a condition, which congests the mind, spirit and matter. Tamas can be likened to a turtle. The outer hardened shell protects the vulnerable flesh that lives within. It is a defense mechanism. Only when the turtle feels secure will she emerge. It is this move from darkness into light, from shelter into the open, which characterizes the soul’s transformation from ignorance into knowledge. Thus the healing can begin.

FAQ
Will I Get A Certificate After My Training?
After the completion of your case studies for each module, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion.
This is not a license nor a registration, but a certificate that states that you have completed the courses.
Ayurveda is not yet regulated in Canada, but there are practices allowed and you can continue your education to receive registered Certifications as an Ayurveda Practitioner or Lifestyle consultant. Email us for more details.
Can I take each module separately?
Yes. You can take all the modules together or one at a time based on your schedule. Currently, Module 1, 2 and 3 are online. This allows you the ability to start distance learning whenever you are ready. We highly recommend the online training as it is the core of the full program. The online course also allows you to take your time and learn at your own pace. Great for people who need more time and repetition, or for those who get bored in classrooms because they are advanced and want to get into the treatment plan right away.
Do I have to do the modules in order?
We recommend that you follow the order of the modules as the content, theory, and philosophy build on one another. For those at different levels who have other training, you are most welcome to start where it fits your needs.
If you are new to Ayurveda, the spa industry, or healing arts, we recommend following each module one after the other. Start with module 1, the traditional Indian head massage, then move to module 2, Ayurveda facials.
The first two online modules will allow you to watch and learn over and over again at your own pace. Repetition is good for the soul and will help you learn how to integrate all the different detailed steps.
We recommend watching the video twice then reading the written photographed steps to support your learning experience.

Step 4
Each module has a two-hour interactive webinar. There is a webinar schedule https://andreaoliveraacademy.
In the webinar, Andrea Olivera will answer all questions and introduce students to further theory.
To arrange team and group customized classes for those in the spa, yoga, and healing industries, we will customize a schedule with Andrea and your team separately from the online group webinar.
For those who need more assistance and are new to the healing arts, please speak directly with Andrea to customize some one-on-one time over Zoom. This can be very supportive for those who need that extra helping hand. You will still be able to join in with the other students in the pre-scheduled webinars.
We recommend you complete at least 2 case studies before joining in on the webinars. During these educational classes, you may learn more details and tips to add and integrate into your following case study treatment. The theory will sink in more, and you will take your treatment to another level.
Step 5
We will be sending you a case study report for you to document your treatments. Once you have practiced on at least three case studies, we recommend that you take a video of yourself giving the treatment and submit it before your webinar.
You can upload the video to youtube and share it with Andrea as a private video or send it via google drive or wetransfer.com. Please try to keep file size under 5 gigabytes if sending the file by email.
Andrea Olivera will watch each video and write down her suggestions, comments, feedback and offer further instructions to you personally by email or in your one-on-one Zoom time with her.
