I'll be hosting Christine Courtney to teach Indian Head Massage in Rutherfordton, April 17-19. Christine is the owner of Obus School of Healing Therapies, located in Leixlip, Ireland.

I'll be teaching Ethics on April 17 from 9am to 12pm. Indian Head Massage will be held from 1-6pm on April 17 and from 9-6 on April 18-19. This is one of the most beautiful massages to both give and receive, creating a deep sense of peace, connection, and calm. Many students describe it as a truly nurturing experience—one that touches both giver and receiver in equal measure. Full class descriptions are on my website. We will be holding this class at The Hut, located at 271 N. Tom St. in downtown Rutherfordton, just one block off North Main Street. Attend both classes for $400; Ethics only for $50, or IHM only for $375.00. Please send a message here or email educatedheart@gmail.com if you have any questions.

No massage tables are needed for this class. See full class details and registration at
