I am seasoned in massage therapy but new to Vermont.
I wonder how each of you would reflect about the sophistication and expectations of your clients' receptivity to massage. Do you do a lot of educating off the table?
Are your ideal clients locating you? How?
I'm new to this forum, and I hope this reaches a broad audience of ABMP members. I wanted to post information about a workshop coming up in April. It's a 14-CEU workshop in Hanover, NH, called“Cancer, Trauma, Presence, Touch,” scheduled forFriday-Sunday, April 10-12. It will take place at The Center for Integrative Health, near the Dartmouth College campus.
I will be leading the workshop with Erica Zinter, a psychotherapist who specializes in treating people with trauma histories.
This program will be a wide-ranging exploration of the nature of trauma, including emerging neuroscience regarding trauma and relationship; of how cancer and other life-threatening illness can be seen from the perspective of trauma; of the nature and practice of compassionate presence; and of the ways in which touch can make presence even more powerful. The program includes a three-hour segment on ethics that satisfies half of the ethics requirement for board certification by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. (We are NCBTMB approved providers.)
I am Steve Gordon, a massage therapist at the Center for Integrative Health in Hanover and founder and executive director of The Hand to Heart Project, a nonprofit that has been providing free in-home massage since 2007 to people with advanced cancer. Erica Zinter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and co-director of the Center for Integrative Health. She specializes in treating complex trauma and has a particular interest in the role of creativity in healing and recovery.
The workshop will run Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. The cost is $280. For more information or to sign up, please contact me atgordons.cornish@gmail.comor (603) 477-4700.
