Esalen® Massage CE in Atlanta, Georgia
Esalen® massage education was first offered in Georgia in 2019 when Esalen® massage instructor Robin Fann came to Decatur to teach seven students in the home of local Esalen® massage therapist Andy Ritan. Andy owns Atlanta Esalen® Massage and was the first certified Esalen therapist in Georgia. Andy plans to promote Esalen® massage education locally with a view to fostering a community of Esalen bodyworkers in the Atlanta area. It is his hope to offer several CE courses in Esalen® massage annually in Atlanta.

Esalen CE at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California
Esalen® massage was developed at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, in the 1960s. The Esalen Institute is a retreat center located on the coast of Big Sur three hours south of San Francisco. The Esalen® massage school has been operating at the Esalen Institute for many years. Massage courses are offered throughout the year varying in length from a weekend of instruction to the 100 hour Esalen certification course. It is a great delight to study Esalen® massage at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur but it takes a significant investment of time and money to travel there from Atlanta.
