You will, enhance/elevate your therapeutic skills, as well as your earning potential.

My goal is to provide quality massage related courses and articles for bodywork professionals and students.

If your immediate needs are to acquire CE credits, look no further. It has never been easier with home-study courses.

My courses come with a 20- 25-question, multiple-choice exam. Passing grade is 75% or better. If for some reason you do not pass, a copy of the questions you missed will be sent back to you via e-mail AND you may re-take the exam until you pass.  Upon successfully passing your exam, a Certificate of Completion will be mailed to you.

On a temporary basis, you have the choice of an article/booklet to be e- mailed to you, or sent to you via the U.S. Postal Service.

In the near future, my articles/course, course test, and your printed “Certificate of Completion” will be immediately available on this site. You will be able to download the course material, take the test on-line, and print out your “Certificate of Completion".

Stay tuned for continual updates on courses in the very near future.
