Comments

 
As a physical therapist turned massage therapist, Nicholas Night has a unique perspective on ways  to help the body heal. He will be teaching Craniosacral Therapy Level 2, hosted at the Healing Arts Center on November 9 & 10, 2019.

Breathing Technique to Relieve Stress: Self-Care Awareness Month

9/19/2019

Comments

 
Stress. That vague constricting feeling, the weight that drags on you. It shows up as tight shoulders, low energy, clenched jaws. You have your ways to cope with stress, from talking with a friend, helping someone out, getting a big hug, exercising, or a hot bath. What would probably make a huge difference in your wellbeing is deep breathing.

Breathing is the key to regulating the nervous system, to relieve stress, promote relaxation, and more. Transformational Breathwork is a practice of guided, conscious breath that allows the body to reset from fight-flight-freeze mode, stimulating the vagus nerve, and starting a ripple effect to help every system in the body perform optimally.

Breathing is unique, because you can control it when you want to and because breath is so basic to living, it is the foundation of all health systems. Self-care encompasses many aspects of health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Since September is Self-Care Awareness Month, we feature breath as a self-care practice. By learning to harness your breath through the methods you learn in a Transformational Breathwork workshop, you can bring this practice into your everyday life to improve your overall health in all of those areas, not just your stress response.

The 4-hour introduction workshop will teach you how. Everyone is welcome to attend an Introduction to Transformational Breathwork workshop. Participants frequently report that they can release negative emotions, stresses, and even the subconscious aftermath of traumatic events.

Pro Track Training Builds Skills and Confidence To Treat Injuries

Injury Recovery Massage Toolkit - July 21 & 22, 2018

by Terrie Yardley-Nohr, LMT
Hand massage
    Massage therapists are faced with clients every day that have been injured in some way and are seeking help from pain and dysfunction.  A therapist is faced with figuring out what is wrong and what to do about it.  One of the biggest challenges for new therapists in the field is how to address the client’s needs and provide relief.   This boils down to two specific skills: assessment and appropriate therapeutic response.  Obviously, skills are developed over time and through experience.  Additional training, however, can radically accelerate the development of a skill set.

HAC Appoints Brittney Atkinson To Be Director of Admissions

The Healing Arts Center bids a fond and loving farewell to Rocela Ginther as she becomes the Assistant Director of MBA Recruitment at the Olin School of Business at Washington University.

Rocela Ginther joins the recruitment staff at Washington University's business school.
     Over the past three  years, no one has entered the student body at The Healing Arts Center without the help and encouragement of Rocela Ginther.  Not only has she been part of a management team that has increased enrollment at HAC by nearly 31% since 2014, she has greeted prospective students with openness and ease, allowing them to find an educational path that fits them.  The Healing Arts Center does not "sell" its education.  Because its unique and highly transformative program requires students to be ready and willing to learn and change, it is important that students find and choose HAC rather than the other way around.  The school has a long standing policy of refraining from talking prospective students into enrollment.  Rocela is well known among our students for giving them the space and the encouragement that they needed to choose and begin a life-changing journey.

HAC Announces Pro Tracks: Intensive Courses For Massage Therapy Skill Building

2/14/2018

Comments

 

Three Weekends A Year, Three Related Topics, One Comprehensive Skill Set

Picture
     The Healing Arts Center is launching a new series of workshops designed to provide advanced level training in a format that supports the working therapist.  The idea behind Pro Tracks is to broaden the therapeutic reach of massage therapists to expand client wellness services so as to reach a larger client base or improve employability at a higher wage rate. 
    The Healing Arts Center takes the view that massage therapists are underused in the arena of wellness and promoting health in our culture.  HAC does not teach pamper massage, but rather focuses its knowledge, experience and skill toward developing the massage therapist as a "first responder" in the quest for health and wellness.  For this reason our primary massage therapy training program is directed on pure healing modalities that alleviate stress and anxiety, treats acute and chronic pain at its source and provides the myriad of other benefits that therapeutic massage is known to provide.  In fact, "therapy" is the whole point of this healing art.

It Is Time To Dispel The Myth That Massage Therapy Franchises Are Causing Low Wage Rates For Therapists

What Is Really Going On Inside The Economics Of Massage Therapy

Picture
Healing Arts Center President, David Kenyon J.D.
View my profile on LinkedIn
On Friday, February 24, 2017, The Healing Arts Center sponsored a first-ever St. Louis Regional Massage Therapy Summit.  This conference presented nine (9) industry insiders as panelists and was attended by over 100 industry professionals.  The conversation was frank, respectful and opened the door to the possibility of industry-wide cooperation for the first time in this area.  And yet, it is clear to nearly everyone in attendance at the Summit that there is much to be done if we are to create a "mature" and fully functional massage therapy service industry.   Over the next weeks and months, HAC intends to present portions of the economic analysis and discussion that it hopes will pave the way for a massive expansion of massage therapy as a multi-faceted healing modality and as a honorable and profitable profession for the benefit of the entire massage community.
