TCTSY is the first and most thoroughly vetted trauma sensitive yoga model in the world. This training helps participants build a trauma informed understanding through which they are able to better understand how trauma impacts us both relationally and systematically. This Trauma Sensitive Yoga model (TCTSY) that you will become acquainted with is based on 20+ years of research and practice. This training takes an intersectional approach to examine how trauma manifests in the body, mind, relationships, and through systems. Training participants are given a research based approach to understanding trauma informed best practices while also gaining knowledge in how to not recreate and replicate trauma through the TCTSY model. Additionally, trauma informed – body centered movement/yoga, breath, and grounding practices will be explored as a pathway towards healing in the body.

Ethics: Risky Business
October 28th, 2023
1-5PM
4 CEUs
NCBTMB approved
Price: $112
Instructor: Ellen Santistevan
Massage therapists work in one of the most intimate professional settings that we can imagine. There are considerations about touch, clothing, draping, emotional releases, client confidentiality, fiduciary relationships, attraction, attention, egotism, self esteem, gossip, dual relationships, energetic entanglement, and more. There are many ways we can cross boundaries, whether inadvertently or on purpose, and all of them hinge on a lack of self-awareness. This class is designed to explore potential ramifications of different types of boundary crossings and offer a safe place for discussion of real life situations that therapists have found themselves in as well as potential solutions for thorny problems.
