Creating An Ethical Practice
Ethics are a part of our everyday lives. They help us create boundaries and set up healthy relationships. For somatic practitioners a strong understanding and refining of ethics helps us interact in meaningful ways with our clients and creates a safe space for our clients and ourselves.
In my 30+ years of teaching, I have seen first hand how poor ethics and boundaries can make or break a practitioner's businesses and damage relationships with clients, friends and colleagues.
This course will help you recognize where you need to create and/or refine your ethics, recognize where your clients are at, and set you up with tools and guides to further evolve your practice in an ethical manner.
This course is required for my Amma Apprentices. CEU and PDA eligible.
