As Care Providers, it is crucial that we learn to care for ourselves, first.

What does it mean to have a long and healthy career as a Massage Therapist? 


It means being able to work as long as we want to, unencumbered by chronic pain and overexertion. 


We must take the time to learn the skills necessary to move with ease, get power and pressure without pain and force in our bodies, and practice mindfulness through our sessions. This course was built to empower you with the practical skills of body mechanics, and tips for self care in and out of the office.
