Parting Thoughts from Terrie Yardley-Nohr

3/29/2019

    As I sit at my desk at work for the last time, it is a great time to reflect on what an adventure my career has been.  It was over 31 years ago that I graduated from Kaleidoscope School of Massage.  So much has happened since then.  I have been blessed with so many mentors such as Donna Zieger (owner of Kaleidoscope), the late Diana Gordon and Cherie Sohnen-Moe.   All are incredible individuals in the massage community.   I guess that I looked at my career as an adventure, something new with a lot to do.  The massage community was just getting started in Missouri and I was pleased to work with a team of people (Estaban Ruvulcaba, Jennifer Peters and Juliet Mee) on the legislation for the state.  Being involved with the AMTA at the chapter level enabled me to meet so many wonderful therapists that were dedicated to moving our profession forward.   As I moved on to the National level of the AMTA, a whole new world opened up to me.  Meeting so many wonderful therapists and educators helped educate me about the massage community and provide mentorship for me in the field. 
    During my career, I quickly realized that I could never do any of this alone.  There is always a team of people involved.  From the state and national chapters of the AMTA, to the schools such as Missouri College, Anthem and The Healing Arts Center, there is always a team of people there to help.  I thank each and every one that has been there helping and supporting along the way.
    I am not totally fading into the sunset with retirement.  I was recently offered an opportunity to write for a national magazine and there are several other projects in the works.  Feel free to friend me on Facebook to see future adventures.   I am looking forward to some travel time in the RV with the animals and friends.  And I am still serving on the Board of the Alliance of Massage Educators (AFMTE) for several years to come.  What a great group of dedicated people. 
    To the students that I have had the privilege of teaching,  Thank you.  I always learned from you and that helped to write a book and to help future students in their careers.  A student recently asked me what advice I would offer to a new therapist.  My advice would be to remember that every therapist makes an impression on the public about our profession.  We hope that it will be a positive impression of nurturing, kindness, patience, integrity and ethical behavior.  Those that came before us paved the way for a career that can be rewarding, fulfilling and wonderful.  Now you can carry on and pave the way for those that will follow you.  Take care of you and show the clients what a wonderful therapist you can be and above all else – stay ethical!!!

In peace - Terrie

A Tradition Of Warmth

HAC instructor Terrie Yardley-Nohr has given thousands of scarves to students over the years, sharing warmth and merriment.

     This is, in fact, the seventeenth year that Terrie has made fleece scarves for her students.  As the instructor for the Business class, the Clinic Supervisor of two Cancer Clinics and the Program Director at the Healing Arts Center, Terrie interacts with virtually every student.  Each winter, Terrie brings a large wicker basket filled with rolled-up scarves to school.  She brings the basket to each class: Level 1-Day, Level 1-Night, Myofascial Release, Advanced Techniques, and Business so each student can pick the scarf they like best.
     The massage therapy training program at the Healing Arts Center is a year long, so each Christmas, there is an entirely new set of students that delight in receiving their very own fleece Terrie-scarf.  It's an annual Christmas tradition.  When asked about why she makes and gives scarves to everyone at school, Terrie said, "It makes my heart feel good."

The HAC Team Trains Constantly And Works Passionately

By Kyle Riebeling, HAC Faculty/Core Management Group.  Have you ever wondered about how The Healing Arts Center does what it does?  Who or what is behind the curtain running the show?  There is more to The Healing Arts Center than meets the eye.   The truth is that there are many hard working people that keep HAC evolving so that it can continue to provide extraordinary transformational education into the future. From the Front Desk Team to the Executive Management Team, HAC is a school that is constantly watching the massage therapy community, surveying what is happening in the massage therapy world and educating itself so that it can educate its students.

Behind every transformational process are the people who make it happen.

Dr. Dan Does Halloween - As HAC President, Dave Kenyon

10/30/2015

 

Attention To Detail Is Key

Every student that has passed through the hallowed halls of The Healing Arts Center knows Dr. Dan Rovin, DC (known to all as "Dr. Dan").  There is no way to make it through anatomy and physiology at HAC without being exposed to Dr. Dan's often lively sense of humor.  Friday evening, the good doctor's students were given a special treat as one of their favorite instructors showed up for class on the day before Halloween dressed as HAC president, Dave Kenyon.

The costume took no small measure of preparation.  First, Dan had to grow out his hair to a short stubble (he normally shaves his head).  Next, the normally clean-shaven chiropractor grew a goatee  a week or so in advance to conceal the fact that he was actually growing a mustache and soul patch like the one Kenyon wears.   On Thursday, everyone in school noticed the beard as a new look, but on Friday the devious doctor shaved the beard to reveal his true intention.

By adding a "cheerful pastel" shirt, round glasses, faded jeans, an overly formal suit jacket and rubber toed shoes, his costume was almost complete.  There was just one thing missing.  Dr. Dan is an avid soccer player and is in very good shape down to his six-pack abs while Kenyon goes for a full quarter barrel in the abdominal department.  When a staff member suggested at a faculty meeting that Dan should have stuffed his shirt, Dan graciously noted that he only wanted to have fun and not be disrespectful to which Kenyon responded that the stuffed shirt would be hilarious.   Dan, never to be one to miss an opportunity to advance the cause of mirth, added to his costume by the time his 6 pm class started.  

The students were in stitches.  

Dan was fired Friday evening and is now looking for gainful employment elsewhere.  (Not really.)  True to his word, Kenyon found the costume to be very funny and took the time come to class and show the students how complete the charade really was.   Meanwhile, the bookstore staff reports that a meditation cushion is missing from the store.

Happy Halloween from all of us at HAC!
