I'll be hosting Christine Courtney to teach Indian Head Massage in Rutherfordton, April 17-19. Christine is the owner of Obus School of Healing Therapies, located in Leixlip, Ireland.

I'll be teaching Ethics on April 17 from 9am to 12pm. Indian Head Massage will be held from 1-6pm on April 17 and from 9-6 on April 18-19. This is one of the most beautiful massages to both give and receive, creating a deep sense of peace, connection, and calm. Many students describe it as a truly nurturing experience—one that touches both giver and receiver in equal measure. Full class descriptions are on my website. We will be holding this class at The Hut, located at 271 N. Tom St. in downtown Rutherfordton, just one block off North Main Street. Attend both classes for $400; Ethics only for $50, or IHM only for $375.00. Please send a message here or email educatedheart@gmail.com if you have any questions.

No massage tables are needed for this class. See full class details and registration at

My Story

I am the President of Sales & Marketing at AHC Ventures Corp, the parent company of CryoDerm. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist and Bodyworker since 1999, an Approved Provider of Continuing Education under the NCBTMB since 2000, and am a frequent contributor to trade magazines, including the regular ethics column, The Heart of Bodywork, which appears in each issue of Massage & Bodywork Magazine. I am also the author of numerous books and over 300 blogs. In addition to writing, I also ghostwrite and edit books for other authors.

I am a past Silver Award Winner of the Massage Therapy Foundation’s Professional Case Report contest, a past Massage Therapist of the Year awarded at the American Massage Conference, and a 2011 inductee into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. I maintain a small private practice, but am currently on hiatus from doing massage therapy until at least 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you are interested in having me teach at your school or AMTA chapter, send a message or call 828-289-5047.
