Ending Mindless Bodywork is more than a catchphrase, it is a mission that East West continues to strive to facilitate this in our profession, with our students, and in our community. We do this by having the very best instructors and CE teachers.

Alex and Jonathan of have made this mission their vision in the work that they do- and the wisdom they share in their continuing education classes taught here at East West.

To help you feel confident, excited, resourced when you are with your clients.

Continuing education is more than a requirement for license renewal, it is a way that we as LMT’s can be part of elevating the client experience and profession as a necessary form of health care.

If you are needing some CE’s or are desiring to sharpen your skills in class as a student Integrative Bodywork will be coming back to teach the lower leg, ankle and foot CE September 13-14! 👏

✨ we understand that cost can be a factor, so all CE’s over $100 can be paid in payment plan leading up to the class itself. You can reserve your spot today and start making payments towards the class so you are ready for September. Link in bio to register

Looking for an amazing, engaging, connecting CE for cultural Competency? Look no further! We are so excited to have Maco Monthervi bringing his first hand experience to the CE space.

“I draw from my background and experiences as a 1st-gen Haitian American to explore the ways cultural differences, implicit bias, systemic racism, and even well-meaning attempts at connecting with clients can affect the therapeutic dynamic and wellness outcomes.

The class is conversational/discussion style, fun, and invites introspection as well as the sharing of various perspectives as we each have a unique story.

Tell your folks, and I look forward to seeing you there! Link is in our bio”

🧡June 29, reserve your space before all the seats are taken.
