We explore the relationship that these systems have with both hyper & hypotonicity as well as how neuroplasticity can be integrated into treatment for all ages. Items needed for course:
[Re] Ignite Your Passion, Saturday Morning, 4 hours, By Cindy Farrar, $60 Members, $80 Non-Members

The Educated Heart: Roles & Boundaries for Massage Therapists, Saturday Afternoon, 3 hours, By Laura Allen Clayton, $45 Members, $60 Non-Members
Very interactive class is based on Nina McIntosh’s The Educated Heart. Many times, ethics classes focus on the boundaries of the client-but we need to think about our own boundaries as well! We’ll view short videos depicting common dilemmas that message therapists are faced with concerning their own boundaries, and attendees will take turns giving different reactions-sounding judgmental, personalizing the issues, or handling things in a calm and professional manner. It’s great practice for when pesky situations arise, and great fun as well.
