Small correction from earlier this year’s post 🤍

Our school retreat is officially happening
✅July 13–16, 2026.

We wanted to make a clear post with the correct dates so everything is easy to save and find.

This retreat is something special for us because it brings together learning, movement, bodywork, rest, and connection in a setting where students can truly integrate the work.

Jenni’s Energy in Motion and Kevin’s famous M.E.T. & Thai Sports Massage workshops will also be part of the retreat, brought back in the environment Jenni and Kevin’s always imagined for it.

Save this post for the correct dates.
DM us RETREAT if you want the details when they’re released.

A little throwback… but also a new beginning

Energy in Motion was paused for a reason.

Not because it wasn’t good.
Because Jenni always knew it deserved a better setting.

➡️Not a classroom. Not a rushed hour. Not a room full of people still carrying the weight of their day.

Jenni pictured a space where people could actually arrive, slow down, move, feel, and let the work land.
That vision is finally real.

✅Energy in Motion is coming back, and this time it’s living inside our wellness retreat, exactly where it was always meant to be.
More presence. More flow. More connection.

Worth the wait. No?

Some of the best massage students come from backgrounds where they already learned how to work with their hands, care for people, pay attention to detail, stay calm under pressure, and adapt to different personalities.

Chef.
Hair stylist.
Interior designer.
Esthetician.
Caregiver.
Stay-at-home mom.
Fitness instructor.
Artist.
Dancer.

Different backgrounds. Same potential.

Swedish Massage is often the best first step because it gives you a strong foundation in touch, technique, anatomy, client care, and professional confidence.

At École Setsuko, we help you turn the skills you already have into a new hands-on career.

We hope these slides made your decision a little easier.
