It has been a pleasure to pass on the generosity of our volunteer clients. We give to the Nutrition Hub (our on-campus food pantry in Lincroft), Lunch Break, and various other food pantries around Monmouth County. I truly do have to thank our students for providing the massage sessions and our clients for making donations as payment for their student experiences. Last year, we had such an outpouring of generosity - literally over 2000lbs of food spread around. It truly is heartwarming to see the community come together to pay it forward. 👏👏👏

A huge thank-you to Jennifer Carlson, Program Coordinator of Brookdale Community College Therapeutic Massage Program, and her amazing students! 👏 👏 👏 Massage Therapy Program at Brookdale Community College

As part of their clinical training, the students invite the public to bring $25 – $30 worth of non-perishable food items in exchange for services. This generous effort helps support our mission at Lunch Break. 💙

Monday & Tuesday, they delivered hundreds of pounds of food (162 lbs on Tuesday alone) to help stock our pantry shelves! 🙌

We are so grateful for this thoughtful partnership that nourishes both body and soul.

Our Program Coordinator, Jennifer Carlson, LMT, has set up the MT Program curriculum in such a way that students are primed for not only their state board exam (MBLEx) but to have an advantage of being nearly ready to challenge the National Cerification Board exam (NCBTMB). Being educated to the level of Board Certification comes with a level of respect and professionalism.

Jen is a BCTMB, herself. She posted today about why she finds value in being Board Cerified. Check out her story!

🙌 Another shout out to our mid-day students and all of our student clinical patrons for their part in helping the Massage Therapy Program at Brookdale Community College and the The Caroline Huber Holistic Wellness Center to stock the Nutrition Hub here on the Lincroft campus!

As payment for student massage sessions, clients are asked to bring in a $25-$35 donation of non-perishable food items. We take stock of what is collected each clinical day and then pass it all on to the Nurtition Hub on campus. Swipe to read more about the food pantry.

Helping hands: helping each other. 🙌

Studying, palpating, and understanding the concepts of releasing each layer effectively is an LMTs responsibility. This is why our students take a thorough approach when learning each region of the body.
