Some fun off the tables and onto the floor for a 2-day intensive on Thai Massage techniques.

This specialty course is one of our favorite switch-ups near the end of the program. It always brings a fresh and creative perspective to bodywork techniques. We're grateful for the knowledge Thai instructor D'vorah brings to the floor!

If you are interested in Thai techniques, keep an eye out for D'vorah's CE courses that happen yearly in our classroom.

We have entered a month of reflection, integration, and tying it all together before we wrap it all up. Quite a bit happens in this final month of school.

Students fully complete their sciences, bodywork, and professional development courses. Our Student Clinic sessions with the community come to a close. And with introspection, a review of the entire ten-month journey begins.

This is all leading to their cumulative practical exam, the national MBLEX exam, and a big graduation celebration at the end of it all.

It is but a short, long way to go! 📚
