CEU Course for Licensed Massage Therapists.
Most CEU courses for massage therapists focus on new techniques or client management. This one turns the lens around.
"Present, Not Just Practiced" is a 4.0 CEU online course designed specifically for licensed massage therapists with 2+ years of experience; the ones who are technically skilled but sense something has shifted in their practice. The course addresses therapeutic complacency: what happens when experience quietly erodes presence, and why a muscle won't release no matter how much pressure you apply if the nervous system doesn't feel safe first.
