This 2-day workshop (16 CE) helps massage professionals gain clarity between stress, trauma, and PTSD/PTSI. It provides an in-depth look into the power of a ‘healthy touch’ and its impact on trauma survivors. Participants will learn to anticipate and treat triggers of PTSD episodes, understand their role and scope of practice in the healing process, and get hands-on time with the techniques in instructor-monitored sessions. The lecture will discuss clinical Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) taken from the DSM-V and how it shows up on a massage table and in life. Attendees will explore how a ‘healthy touch’ can facilitate change in the client’s tissues, empower the client to be part of the healing process and grow their understanding of listening, assessing, and treating stress and PTSD. This workshop provides a fully-clothed, trauma-informed, patient-centered approach to treating trauma/PTSD/PTSI through healthy-touch bodywork.

This is a hands-on interactive workshop designed to get attendees into the creative and business mode. Students will learn several different options for adding services that can integrate into their existing menu of services. They will explore the difference between add-on and add-in services and how they can benefit your bottom line no matter where you practice. Attendees will learn about the most popular offerings, such as, aromatherapy, hand and foot treatments, applications for hydrotherapy, scalp treatments, and sleep! The business and marketing side of these treatments will be explored and illustrated. Students will be able to streamline the inventory needed for those services that fit their practice. Upon completion, students will have the skills and resources to build a successful business plan for creative and profitable menu development.

This class teaches students how to slow down themselves as well as their clients.

We also describe the anatomy of relaxation so students that need the science of it.

This class is designed to help attendees extend their career by learning to increase their awareness and tissue reading skills. We discuss different ways to approach the client and their issues. Attendees learn how to slow down, get deeper releases with less effort, use gravity and client positioning to their advantage, and plenty of time to practice. We teach how to work ‘with the tissue vs. on the tissue’. Our goal is to help the attendee extend their career by using less effort while getting better results. Working Smarter NOT Harder
