FAQS & POLICIES

-
My continuing education courses begin with a simple understanding: massage therapy is relational work. The quality of our presence—how we listen, communicate, respond, and relate—shapes the therapeutic experience we create with others.
These courses look beyond technique to include the practitioner behind the work. Through clear teaching, embodied reflection, experiential practices, and meaningful conversation, you will explore your own patterns while developing greater awareness within therapeutic relationships.
This is not simply information to memorize. It is an opportunity to slow down, engage with the material personally, and discover practical ways to bring what you learn into your everyday work.
You will leave with more than continuing education hours. You will leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, a more conscious relationship with your practice, and learning that can continue to unfold long after the course ends.
-
Most courses are open to massage therapists and other healing arts professionals interested in embodied awareness, personal growth, and more conscious ways of relating within their work. Please check each course page for its intended audience and any prerequisites.

Continuing Education that strengthens how you work—not just what you know.
My courses are designed for massage therapists who want learning that supports both professional practice and the person behind the work. Rather than adding more information to memorize, each training creates space to reflect, practice, and explore how awareness and relationship shape therapeutic work.
Courses combine clear teaching with guided reflection, experiential exercises, and meaningful conversation.
In these trainings, you may explore:
• Embodied awareness and practitioner patterns
• Listening and communication within therapeutic relationships
• Ethical reflection and conscious decision-making
• Roles and expectations we carry into the treatment room
• Staying connected to yourself while supporting others
• Practical ways to integrate insight into everyday practice
If you are looking for continuing education that values presence, professional responsibility, and human relationship, you will feel at home here.
