Classes
Below are the courses I am currently offering. Each course is eligible for continuing education units (CEUs) with the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists.
Therapeutic Thai Massage
​
($65 each; 4 Contact CEUs)
​
​
This series of 5 courses (4 below + "Putting it all Together") is intended to give students the skills and confidence to comfortably provide a safe and effective full body therapeutic Thai massage treatment (up to 2 hours). Body mechanics and breathwork will be incorporated heavily in order to maximize working "smarter not harder."
Â
Thai medical theory and Buddhist medical philosophy through a trauma-informed lens will be incorporated throughout. Â
​
Classes will be held on the last Sunday of each month from 9am-1pm, unless otherwise noted, and may be taken in any order, or ala carte. Please see below for dates.
​
***November and December classes will be held mid-month to accomodate for the holidays
Ethics in Mind Body Healing ($95; 4 Contact CEUs)
This class explores the science behind how tension in the mind manifests as tension in the body. We will discuss how to maintain proper boundaries, and communicate appropriately, making sure we stay within our scope of practice. We will also go over the science behind chronic pain, stress and trauma, the anatomy of our consciousness, trauma-informed care, and much more!
​
*fulfills the OBMT in-person Ethics requirement for license renewal.

Words That Touch ($65; 3 Contact CEUs)
This class dives deeper into mind body communication and nervous system regulation.Â
Â
Words cast spells! That's why we call it "spelling."
Â
How clients describe symptoms, and the metaphors they use can give us a lot of good information that can help increase the effectiveness of our treatments. The words we use (and words to avoid) can greatly enhance not only their level of relaxation, but the likelihood of them becoming repeat clients.
