Are you ready to learn something new?

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.
