Discover Myofascial Energetic Release (MER): a hands-on way to work with chronic pain with Guillaume (March 2027)

Discover Myofascial Energetic Release

Guillaume is a bodywork lover exploring healing modalities since his teens, and a long-time touch lover dedicated to helping release suffering through Touch, Presence and Deep Listening.

After years of practising Shiatsu and other massage, he trained in trauma-informed somatic practices, including programs Compassionate Inquiry by Dr Gabor Maté and NARM Dr Laurence Heller, to better meet his clients’ needs. Still, he was seeing a lot of physical pain and felt helpless to relieve it. Bringing more understanding helped, but he was missing something.

That’s when he trained in MER, which brought in the missing link: a powerful hands-on, holistic approach that works with pain in an embodied way while supporting people’s emotional expression. In his private sessions, it became a great container to weave bodywork, mindfulness and psychotherapeutic practices. Seeing his passion and his work, MER's Founder Satyarthi invited him to teach this beautiful practice and he has found folks in Belfast incredibly receptive to it, making him so keen to come back and share it again!

What you will do:

Mostly hands-on practice, with some time to talk theory about the fascia system
Start each morning with an active meditation
After short demos, pair up to both give and receive MER
Leave with a structured protocol for the back, neck and shoulders
Explore extra tools from mindfulness and movement-based practices to support your learning
Before the weekend, you will receive a PDF with the basics on fascia and key information about MER.

Afterwards, you receive the recorded demos so you can keep studying and practising at home

Who it is for:

Bodyworker Newbies and Pros alike. Anyone wanting to discover a new approach, and on a self-discovery journey who wishes to explore their body, their somatic language and their emotional holding patterns.

This 2-day introduction is not a professional training and gives no accreditation, but you will leave with a framework you can repeat at home and practise with structure. Professionals may find it a helpful complement to their work.

There will be a 7-module professional training (350h) offered in Ireland from the end of 2027, and this weekend is a good way to check out the practice beforehand.
