This event includes lunch buffet.

This course will be reflective in nature and will examine the interdependence of the domains of health (mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual) and the impact the profession of Massage Therapy has on the therapist as well as the impact massage therapy has on the client from a holistic perspective.

The presentation will examine all the domains of health independently and interdependently. Participants will be engaged in personal and group discussion to examine the importance of health in its many facets. The intent will be to introduce intentionality to the therapist’s work-life balance and an awareness of the impact one has on the whole person when treating clients physically with massage.
