11/13/2022 - Intro to Zero Balancing with David Lauterstein
Massage Therapy Continuing Education Hours: 6 CE hrs
Presented in-person -$150
ZERO BALANCING has been called "the most revolutionary development in bodywork today."
There is no other form of bodywork quite like Zero Balancing. Zero Balancing (ZB) works with the deepest layers of connective tissue in the body. Whereas Swedish and deep tissue focus primarily on muscles, ZB uniquely focuses on the skeletal system and the fascia associated with it.
In this way it gives the therapist new techniques for engaging and relieving the deepest levels of tension and pain. In addition Zero Balancing uniquely integrates structure as well as energy. Its founder, Dr. Fritz Smith, is an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, acupuncture with J.R. Worsley, and meditation with Swami Muktananda – thus, his work integrates both Eastern and Western techniques and understandings.

12/9-11 - Trauma-Sensitive Training for Massage Therapists
Massage Therapy Continuing Education Hours: 20 CE hrs
Presented in-person -$450 * Save your spot with a $225 deposit.
What is trauma & how can it show up in massage clients? How can a massage therapist create increased safety for clients and students with a history of trauma? What are some concrete techniques that can be used to help ground and stabilize a client whose trauma has become activated through massage? We will look at a variety of different types of trauma including traditionally understood traumas like sexual assault, medical traumas, or a history of abuse, as well as traumas caused by race, gender, and inequality.
It is crucial for massage therapists to have in-depth knowledge in the practices and policies needed to create safety and containment for their massage clients. Our training will give you a greater understanding of trauma that will enable you to both avoid trauma triggers and know how to manage them with safety and respect towards the client when a technique invokes a traumatic response.
