About This Course
The Berber massage originates from the Maghreb. No cream, no oil—just your skilled hands and wooden tools. Light strokes awaken the skin, long glides relax the muscles, and kneading stimulates circulation. The wood warms under your hands and glides over the body. The result: deep relaxation and effective lymphatic drainage.
