Touching Scars – A Scar Care workshop for pairs (in-person, masked) November 9, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm)

Description

This workshop will help you learn to support the body to grow softer and more supple tissue that can improve appearance, feeling, range of motion and nerve function in and around scars.

This small group (max 10), in-person, masked workshop is being held at Heart & Hands clinic space. Please wear an N95 or KN95 or equivalent respirator style mask or bring some cash to get one when you arrive.

This session uses hands-on touch techniques to support the body in scar recovery. It is open to adults (+18) of all genders. Please attend in a pair, where at least one of you has scars at least 6 weeks old. Open to couples, touch dyads, professional/client pairs, etc.

The teacher, Kori Doty, of Soft Touch Bodies has trained at the Institute for Somatic Sex Education, and has been a teacher of “Pleasure (your) Chest” an online class for folks who have had top surgery since 2023. They have done many hours of scar care study and self touch on their own body since their experiences of gender surgeries resulted in scarring complications. They have worked professionally offering somatic body work since 2024.

The tickets are sliding scale for a duo 20-100$. (10-50$/person) Please follow payment links to pay the amount you feel is appropriate considering your financial privilege.
