Myofascial, craniosacral & somatic bodywork training in Fort Myers, FL
Five days, 35 hands-on hours at Moi Space on the Caloosahatchee — myofascial release, craniosacral therapy and somatic dialogue taught as one integrated system, not three separate certifications.
Practitioners who have completed this training
Every class finishes the same way — certificates in hand, and a different pair of hands than the ones they arrived with.
What Florida requires
Florida LMTs need 24 CE hours every two years, and the Board is specific: 12 of those hours must be live, in-person training in massage therapy techniques, skills and protocols. The other 12 may be online.
This class is 35 live, in-person, hands-on hours — nearly three times Florida’s in-person requirement, and your full 24-hour total with eleven hours to spare.
Florida renews on a shared biennial cycle ending August 31, 2027. A December 2026 class sits comfortably inside it.
What it doesn’t cover
Florida also mandates seven specific hours: 2 in professional ethics, 2 in prevention of medical errors, 2 in Florida laws and rules, and 1 on human trafficking.
My curriculum is not approved for any of those. You will need to take them separately. I would rather you knew that now than discovered it at renewal.

Moi Space calls itself “a private speakeasy for art, wellness, and meaningful gathering” — a discreet, thoughtfully curated environment on the Caloosahatchee. Wood ceilings, tall windows, chandeliers, and river light through the afternoon.
9:00am – 5:30pm each day, with an extended mid-day break for lunch and integration.
An intimate practitioner setting — not a 50-seat seminar. Hands on from day one, with individual attention through every practice session.

Five days in the room
Getting there
Flying: Southwest Florida International (RSW) is about 15 miles south — roughly 25 minutes. Punta Gorda (PGD) is a smaller alternative about 30 miles north.
Driving: about 45 minutes from Naples, an hour and a half from Sarasota, and around two and a half hours from Tampa or Miami.
The venue sits on East Riverside Drive, a few minutes east of the downtown River District.
Staying
Lodging is not included, so here is what is nearby in the River District:
- Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection — downtown on the Caloosahatchee, the closest thing to staying on the same water as the venue.
- Hampton Inn by Hilton Fort Myers Downtown — walkable to the River District, the more economical option.
- Best Western Fort Myers Waterfront — also on the river, north side.
December in Fort Myers runs dry and mild — the pleasant end of the year, and the reason the region fills up. Book early.
What you’ll learn
- Myofascial techniques that sense subtle release and expansion in tissue — creating breadth and depth of sensation that help your clients connect and feel their bodies more
- Craniosacral skills — from palpating the cranial rhythm to full-session sequencing — where physical touch activates deep states of nervous system calibration
- Somatic dialogue: reading non-verbal cues, inviting client participation, and holding emotional release with ethics, safety, and trauma-informed presence
- A cohesive framework that recognizes the body as a totality rather than fragmented systems
Who it’s for
Licensed massage therapists, bodyworkers and manual therapists who already have hands-on experience and want the three modalities as one system rather than three separate trainings.
Previous hands-on bodywork experience is highly recommended — the class is paced at an intermediate level.
The five days
Day 1 — Unveiling the fascial matrix. Myofascial anatomy, adhesions and tensegrity, mechanoreceptors and their somatic implications, and palpation practice.
Day 2 — Myofascial release techniques. Working restriction at depth, and the touch sensitivity that finds it.
Day 3 — Craniosacral therapy fundamentals. Palpating the cranial rhythm through to full-session sequencing.
Day 4 — Craniosacral therapy techniques. Where physical touch activates deep states of nervous system calibration.
Day 5 — Somatic dialogue and emotional release. Reading non-verbal cues, inviting client participation, and holding what surfaces with ethics, safety and trauma-informed presence.

What students say
“Exactly what I have been needing in my practice to support my clients. Daniel is an excellent teacher & was amazing at supporting everyone.”— Caroline C., practitioner
“Daniel’s ability to clearly explain complex techniques and connect them to real clinical applications made a huge difference in how I understood and integrated the material. I truly appreciate the time and attention you gave to everyone’s individual experience.”— Jennifer R., practitioner
“I’m so deeply grateful and inspired by this work and what Daniel brings to the table. He guides us intuitively from the heart, through this delicate healing path. This is the upgrade I was looking for — for my own inner evolution and my clients.”— Margaret S., practitioner
Who is teaching
For nearly fifteen years I’ve been unraveling the body’s mysteries as a therapist — working with the fascia, the nervous system, and the stories they hold.
My passion ignited when I began combining the modalities I’d been taught separately, and found the doorway into deep states of somatic release. I don’t just teach anatomy or techniques; I guide you into a deeper way of being with the body.
