Confidence in the Room:
Myofascial Work for the Hips, Glutes and Groin

Price: $160
Date: Saturday July 25, 2026 - 9am - 6pm (8 hours)
Lake Stevens, WA at Spectrum Center School of Massage

You know these areas matter, but do you still find yourself avoiding them?  You're not alone.

This class is for recent graduates who want to improve their intake conversations, build and communicate treatment plans, and add new myofascial techniques and routines for the glutes and groin.

For seasoned professionals who know working the glutes and groin can be beneficial, but find themselves just gliding over them and not including as much treatment work. Refresh your techniques and client conversations and revisit how you want to integrate the glutes and groin into your current practice.

What’s stopping you from working there?

For many therapists, the challenge isn't anatomy, or knowing it matters. The challenge is integrating them into treatment confidently, comfortably, and consistently. That's exactly what this workshop is designed to help you do.

Clarity instead of confusion

Learn when and how to obtain informed consent, and have ongoing consent conversations about the glutes and groin.

You’ll leave with practical language to discuss treatment options, and help clients understand why these areas may be relevant to their care.

Confidence instead of doubt

Doubt while working the glutes and groin feels uncomfortable at best—and unsafe at worst.

Through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice, you'll build confidence working with the hips, glutes, and groin professionally, thoughtfully, and effectively.

Integration instead of avoidance

Learn to see the hip as part of the system as a whole.

You'll develop practical myofascial frameworks for incorporating glute and groin work into treatment plans for both relaxation and injury-focused sessions, helping you create more complete and effective care.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

  • Janet

    Leia assessed me more thoroughly than any other professional. She is knowledgeable, an amazing listener, empathetic, respectful and a intuitive massage therapist. She has given me hope and results. I am currently needing a walking cane, each step is painful. All of my nights have been sleepless because of pain but after my last visit with Leia I slept all night, such a gift. I consider her a lovely serendipity during this difficult time. I have had massages before which have been very good but I feel and felt pretty much immediately that I was where I belong. I highly recommend Leia.

  • David

    I’m a family physician with extensive knowledge in soft tissue injury. Last year, I suffered an injury to my thigh which required multiple surgeries and eventual skin grafting. Leia has done tremendous work mobilizing my graft scar tissue and stimulated lymph drainage which has increased my range of motion and diminished pain.
    Leia has gifted hands which seem to find trouble areas easily. She is knowledgeable in anatomy and kinesiology, and speaks the language of sports medicine very well. She developed a home stretching and self massage plan specifically for my injury, which has accentuated the healing process.
    In summary, I would highly recommend her for both relaxation and soft tissue injury rehabilitation. Her knowledge and hand work are unsurpassed.

  • Olas

    Leia intuitively focused on the areas affected by my childhood injury, using just the right amount of pressure to alleviate tension and relieve pain. Not only did Leia address the physical aspects of my pain, but she also provided emotional support throughout the process. Her genuine care and dedication to my well-being created a safe space for healing.
    I can confidently say that Leia's work goes beyond what you might expect from a typical massage therapist. She possesses a unique ability to identify and target the root causes of pain, providing a personalized and effective approach. With each session, I felt closer to reclaiming a pain-free life.

  • Heather

    Leia has an amazing sense of how to get soft tissue back into place after trauma like I have never experienced before. I left her with a low enough pain level to go dancing for the first time in 2 years and handed out her card to all my coworkers the next day. I'm now counting down the days to my next appointment!!

  • Rachel

    Just what I needed!!! Leia listened to what I thought were my problem areas- shoulders and knees- and then uncovered even tighter areas in my hips. Whew!
    Leia has a wonderful way of communicating, getting feedback, and massaging that lets your joints and muscles ease back into alignment. I left feeling more 'open' and fluid in range of motion and flexibility. Absolutely loved the results. Leia, my body thanks you!!!

  • M Brown

    ​I feel so fortunate to have found Leia for massage therapy. My hip and knee were quite bothersome and it was definitely altering how I slept, walked and went up and down stairs. With massage and caring instructions on movement I am feeling so much better, sleeping without pain and able to get on with life.

  • Melody

    My goal for coming to a massage is to relieve problem areas so that my body can function better and derail further dysfunction or disease. I love coming to Leia because she is a good listener and asks pertinent questions to find out more about my issue. She is very knowledgeable about her profession and always seems to know what to work on to relieve pain and discomfort. I keep coming back because I know I can count on her to give an excellent massage.

  • Anna Lee

    Leia is probably the best massage therapist I’ve ever been too! I see her for both relaxation and therapeutic massage. She’s warm, welcoming and intuitive! Seems to know exactly what my body needs even if I’m not sure.

Hello, my name is Leia

I'm the owner of Practical Renewal Massage in Everett, Washington.

I'm excited to spend the day helping you build confidence working in vulnerable areas, move beyond treatment routines, and refine your own approach to bodywork. My goal isn't to teach you a sequence to memorize, but to help you develop the skills to make thoughtful treatment decisions based on the person in front of you. We'll focus on communication, observation, testing, and practical skills you can use right away in your practice.

In my private practice, I primarily work with clients managing chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and complex treatment goals. The techniques I use vary widely, but often include myofascial work, manual lymph drainage, assisted stretch, scar tissue treatment, and trigger point therapy.
