We are living in an ever growing world of diversity. Our connections on one level become easier through technology, world events, and social media. Yet, we have a level of personal growth that may be lagging behind our exposure to different lifestyles, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and life experiences. This lack of interaction and the understanding of the diverse cultural world we exist in may be having a greater effect on the individuals that we work with and ourselves. Cultural Competency has its own specific identification under the bigger umbrella of Ethics and deserves a significant look in order to reach greater understanding of ourselves and our clients. This one hour workshop is designed to give you perspective on why Cultural Competency is essential to our profession. This course not only draws many valid parallels between the skill set we as massage therapists practice regularly but supports the significance of how we see our clients as the individual humans that they are.

Three new online workshops up and running. If you need a couple of CE credits these are here for you all.

Ethics is a complex concept that is simultaneously an incredibly important concept. Nearly every day most of us in the field of bodywork are faced with ethical concerns, Sometimes small.... sometimes not so small. Whether it is directly with the clients we are working with or perhaps an employer that we are working for. Issues can even arise between peers or coworkers in the field as well. The decisions that we make that the actions that we engage in not only reflect our own personal and professional code of ethics but also have an effect upon the industry of massage and bodywork as a whole. A strong and clear understanding of the ethical principles that guide each and everyone of us through our days is essential to support healthy work practices and professional relationships.

Join Jonathan Primack BA~ LMT # 10789 as we look at the concept of ethics through the intricate and fascinating lens of neuroscience. Taking a closer look at the complicated structure of the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as its development within each individual, will create a meaningful perspective on how it interprets, processes, and reacts to the world that surrounds us. It is in this way we can better understand many of the ethical scenarios we face regularly. This four hour workshop meets the standards outlined by the OBMT & The Washington Department Of Health.
