You don’t need anyone to give you permission to rest.

And still, many of us move through our days overriding what our bodies are asking for, especially when we’re used to pushing through.

Sometimes doing less is not avoidance.
It’s regulation.
It’s listening.
It’s care.

Intentional rest is not about stopping life, it’s about supporting the system that carries you through it.

If this feels like something someone you care about needs to hear, feel free to share it.
That includes you.

We are excited for the upcoming course, hosted by AMS Group at Body Craft Massage Therapy: Ethics for Trauma-Sensitive Bodywork, a one-hour in-person continuing education course taught by Lakshmi Om, LMBT and Somatic Therapist, Founder of The Flourish Center for Somatic Healing in North Carolina.

This introductory professional development course is designed for massage, bodywork, and allied health professionals. It explores how trauma can show up in the treatment room—what to recognize, how to respond, and how to maintain therapeutic safety and ethical boundaries in practice.

Participants will engage in reflection, discussion, and case studies to better understand how ethics guide practitioner integrity, client safety, and healing relationships.

Lakshmi brings over 25 years of experience working with the body to this exploration of the ethical foundations that help practitioners recognize trauma responses, maintain clear boundaries, and create conditions for true safety and healing in professional practice.

Date & Time: Tuesday, October 28 | 6:00–7:00 PM

Fee: $20

CE: 1 NCBTMB CE pending approval (retroactive once approved)
Location: Body Craft Massage Therapy - 347 Fifth Avenue, Suite 909 (between 33rd & 34th Streets), NYC

Rebecca is repping BCMT at NLN's Oncology-Lymphatic Superhighway conference. (Johns Hopkins, no less.) Always learning, always expanding.

A note from Rebecca:
I had the unexpected privilege of being the demo body for Michelle O'Connor's 'Manual Lymph Drainage For The Breast In the Presence of Lymphedema' class. Her skilled, sensitive work on my lumpectomy scar was extraordinary and a powerful reminder of how much this work can support healing and function, even decades down the road.

This Thursday, June 5th, we are honored to join Columbia University Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center's inaugural Thriving Through Cancer and Beyond event -- an evening centered on community, connection, and care.

Rebecca will be leading a brief breathwork session to support the nervous system, recovery, and the lymphatic system, and sharing the work we do at Body Craft Massage Therapy.

If you’re attending, come say hello. We’d love to connect. 💙
