At Sanctuary by the Sea, we offer hands-on bodywork trainings that weave together the wisdom of ancient traditions with the presence and trauma-informed care needed for today’s world. These trainings are for massage therapists, yoga teachers, energy workers, and anyone who feels called to explore the medicine of touch — not just as a technique, but as a sacred practice.

Our in-person trainings take place by the ocean in Point Pleasant, NJ, in an intimate space that invites presence, softness, and deep listening.

🌊 Why Train With Us

At Sanctuary by the Sea, massage is not a service — it’s a ritual.

We teach from the belief that sacred touch is one of the most powerful ways to soothe the nervous system, restore vitality, and build connection. You’ll leave this training not just with a sequence, but with the ability to offer sessions that are truly intuitive, supportive, and safe.
