New Event

Join me for this 2-hour webinar on Sept 14th. What does massage therapy do and how does it work? This webinar is for the massage therapist who is interested in learning about the science of touch and wants to use this knowledge to enhance their clinical outcomes. You will learn the complex interactions of the therapeutic encounter. Gain a better understanding of how touch impacts people from a mechanistic and interpersonal perspective. How the way you think, the words you use, and the beliefs you have about massage can all influence the impacts of the therapy you provide. Can't attend live? Not a problem. A recording will be provided within 48 hours to all who register. Access to the recording will be available for 6 months.
