For more experienced professionals, continuing education credit is available through the division’s Four Hand Massage (6-8 p.m. June 3 and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on June 4 at the Benjamin Godfrey Mansion, $150) and Hot Stone Massage (6:30-9 p.m. May 7 and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. May 8 at the Benjamin Godfrey Mansion, $150) courses. Healing Touch Level 1 (9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. April 8-9 and Aug. 6-7 at the Benjamin Godfrey Mansion or 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. July 23-24 at N.O. Nelson, $330) can be taken for credit or non-credit.
Healing Touch is a new program, endorsed by the American and Canadian Holistic Nurses Association, which uses natural energy to decrease pain, anxiety and other stress in clients/patients. Level 1 begins a sequence of classes that will allow a student to become a Healing Touch practitioner or instructor.
Our two Healing Touch instructors are Deb Kleuter, who is a HT certified practitioner and a board certified holistic nurse, and Lynn Placek, who also is a HT certified practitioner and instructor. Massage instructor Erin Stauffer graduated from Lewis and Clark, and has studied both Otho-Bionomy and kinesiology in addition. Today, she runs her own successful massage practice and teaches her trade through the college’s Corporate and Community Learning division.
