BoundariesBoundaries define and regulate our sense of self, and our relationships. To succeed as Massage and Bodywork Therapists, we must balance the art of skillful touch with respect and honor for right relationship.

We will cover the following:

  • Identifying boundaries on physical, emotional, energetic and cognitive levels
  • Conscious awareness of boundaries
    • The importance of Presence
    • Our three vital centers of intelligence: thinking, feeling and sensing
  • Creating and Intending the boundary
  • Communication about boundaries
  • Navigating Dual Relationships with clients
  • Recognizing boundary shifts
  • Handling boundary challenges and violations
  • Repairing boundaries
