Calling all Massage Therapists and Continuing Education teachers: Conference announcement!!

Since there's no official NM Massage Therapy Conference this year, I'm creating a conference-ish event that will be held the weekend of September 9-10th. I'm seeking a few more CE teachers to join the line-up of classes!

If you would like to submit a class please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bR9tM-x0Aiy97dgLogM8F-6s1MJnuv4bRd-K6a1xgJ0/edit
Deadline for proposal submission is July 7th, and full conference line-up plus early bird registration begins July 10th.

Maybe I'll have vendors too..? I'm open to ideas and other ways to make this great! Email me if you're interested: inthirdspaces@gmail.com.
Please share this with other teachers and MT's who may not be in this group. Can't wait to be in community and learning with y'all!

You can tell yourself a hundred times that you can’t or shouldn’t do something.
..but start to follow that ONE time you tell yourself to go for it.
See what starts to happen.

I just taught my first continuing education course!!
Wahwahhh!!!

I am beyond thrilled, beyond grateful for the students that came, and eternally in awe at what I can do when the voice of YES I CAN speaks louder.

This is the beginning. ✨🙏 @ The Source Health and Community Wabi-Sabi Oasis

DOING IT - I’m teaching my first massage therapy CEU course tomorrow. I feel SO thrown out of the nest, yet completely on the path that’s meant for me. I’m asking, compelling myself to grow into the person that I want to be for myself and for others. Sure, I’ll be teaching my students lots of info about self care and the subtle body, but more importantly I’m exposing my self, instigating a space for collective healing and vulnerability. I’ve had to do a lot of growth and introspection just in preparation for this first class; by teaching the work we ARE the work. May this be the first course of MANY. 🙏💚

Facebook showed me that 3 years ago today, this was my view of the world. I sailed the high seas of the Columbia River as a massage and yoga pirate, and I truly loved that identity. However, 2 years ago I was in Albuquerque with my own business. 1 year ago I was working in remote Alaska. Today I went to the dentist during a pandemic. You never know what’s around the corner, or how our identities will change over time. Stay open to the shift, change is literally the only thing that will ever happen. 🙏💚

...and another backyard massage with sunflowers! I’ve been slowly getting back into massage, with seeing just friends/family in their yards, masks-on. It has already MAJORly shifted my experience of life right now, to sink back in to my profession-passion, to be of help and service, and to focus my intention more around stress and trauma release. I love this work. My clients love this work. Everything is going to be okay. 💚🙏
