EXPLORING CHAKRAS-Nov.12 & 13 9AM-4PM, Lafayette, La.

When our chakras (energy centers) are in balance, we function at a much higher rate of health and well being. An exploration of the energy field will assist in learning about any imbalances that may contribute to problems in our lives and how we can return to a state of balance.
This knowledge is valuable in understanding the mind, body connection with our families, our clients and our selves. An energetic technique using light touch will be learned during this 2day class.
Aura photos will be taken before the class starts and after having energy work done the second day. Amazing transformations!
This class will give you a toolkit of suggestions, techniques and practices that will give you a deeper, and richer, relationship to life.
Personal transformations are possible!

Ethics
– The Heart of Healthcare by Susan Salvo – 6 CE’s
At
last!! For the First Time – a LOCAL Ethics course approved for your National Certificationstatus.
Here is the class you NEED to take to stay nationally certified.
As
humans, we have an internal identification of right and wrong, but do you know
the up-to-date ethics practices concerning massage therapy? Ethics can be
defined as the rules of conduct followed by an individual, distinctive to a
particular group. It is not just a moral dilemma – it is also a legal one. …So,
do you know your ethics? Are you sure? Are you willing to bet your business and personal assets
on it? Would
you like to have someone you can verbally ask instead of just reading a list of
rules?
We
have a powerhouse of an instructor teaching this much needed subject. Susan G.
Salvo ,who recently received The Teacher of the Year Award, presented at the
2011 World Massage Festival is an Author, Instructor, and National lecturer
that will walk you through the maze of ethics and practices. She makes you
understand where ethics plays a role in the everyday operation of our
businesses, in the massage room and out. This class will make you understand
that ethics is really the “heart” of your practice.

tools!!
