You can now schedule the class of your choice at your location for your LMTs. Below you will find a list of the 12 classes available as well as the course description of each class. If you'd like to host a class but are not a massage establishment, please give me a call and I can explain how to do that.
Some advantages of having classes at your location include the opportunity to train multiple therapists in a style or technique simultaneously and keeping them in house. It is convenient for the therapists, eliminating travel time and expense.
Each class is 6 CEUs, so only two classes are needed in order to renew their license. Depending on how the class is scheduled, it may be completed in 5 hours since the state considers a classroom hour to be 50 minutes.
Over the years, I have taught over 500 classes with 2,700+ students in attendance. To host a class, you only need a room large enough for the therapists to view the demonstration (a couples room is usually large enough) and rooms for them to pair up for the practice time when I will be coaching them on the techniques.
The cost is $85 per therapist with a preferred minimum of 6 therapists. For fewer than 6 therapists please give me a call to discuss possible options. For 6 or more therapists, the cost is a flat rate of $500. The cost may be paid by the establishment or by the students. A travel charge may be applied for those locations more than an hour from Bedford, which is my home base.
Please call or email if you have questions or would like to discuss scheduling a class.
