The Learning Circle

As the old saying goes, learning is a never-ending process.

Continuous learning as adults guarantees us a knowledge base where we can pull information to better respond to the world around us.

In our world today, self care is becoming more and more important, and understanding your needs is the first step to finding the tools that will help you help yourself!

Community Self Care Workshops

Welcome to the Community Learning Circle. It is here that we can gather as a group to openly discuss health related topics as it refers to our muscles, bones, posture, breathing and movement. Instead of the traditional form of meetings or a classroom style lecture, this is a small group interactive learning experience. Be prepared to leave with a deeper understanding of your anatomy and the best tools to use for your own self-care.

In Person gatherings COMING IN 2023

Professional Continuing Education - massage therapists and healthcare workers

Due to the global pandemic, in-person courses are currently not being offered.  However, some are currently being restructured as an online video and self-study course.
​These courses are intended for all massage and manual therapists that wish to focus their proficiency and competency in focused areas of musculoskeletal anatomy and function.

The classes are small to allow for an informal yet personal learning experience and time for collaborative study and exchange.

One-on-One tutoring or coaching are available upon request.

For some study, you may choose to study with a partner, which can be accommodated. I can also create a customized course to meet your specific needs.
