Ethics for massage therapists who practice in the State of Maryland. 

An overview of the ethical requirements as outlined in state law and COMAR regulations.

Lecture and discussion will bring new understanding and knowledge of concepts that are often confusing when written in legal and legislative language. 

This class addresses many ethical questions and responsibilities from a different point of view, to bring more information and better understanding to therapists. Practical considerations and resources.

Massage therapists carry more responsibility than some other professions to interact with their clients in a respectful and compassionate way.

Understanding different cultures that exist within our larger culture and learning appropriate language and actions will allow therapists to better interact and welcome a diverse client population.

LGBTQIA+, Racial and Ethnic, and Religious and Cultural diversity will be discussed.

Communicable Disease
Pathology and Prevention

Massage therapy brings us close to many people with a level of touch and interaction that requires a strong understanding of the risks of communicable diseases as well as best practice choices to avoid spreading disease.

In this course we will review terminology and pathology, and discuss many of the common pathologies that we see in the massage setting including COVID-19 as well as colds and flu, HIV, skin and fungal conditions.

Discussion based, questions are welcome.

Being Uncomfortable
Tools and Resources for Your Personal Anti-Racism Work
Wednesday, July 22nd at 7pm eastern
via Zoom  Click to Register Here

• We are not here to teach anti-racism; we are not qualified
• We are not here to convince you Black Lives Matter and Black Trans Lives Matter, that is simply the truth
• We can share resources that do not center us as white women, instead centering the voices of Black and brown people

• “I’m not a racist” isn’t enough, each of us has a personal responsibility to go deeper and look at all the racist policies and structures that impact every part of our lives, and make change

• To do that, we each need to truly examine how we as white women benefit from the racist policies and structures and how we are complicit

  Uncomfortable? Good, we each need to find ways to be with it, not avoid it.
During this two-hour presentation Amelia and Jackie will discuss their process and tools of acceptance, presence, and awareness that have been critical in their ability to do their own work. Tools that help them step aside from vulnerability and fear and step into listening and inner examination. Yes, this is work, and to do it, one must dive inside to personal places that may not match their ideal story of themselves.

• Being present with fear, uncertainty, and failure
• Discerning between an ego call and a deep truth
• Movement that brings us back to our center
• Avoiding the traps of “love and light” and spiritual bypassing out in the white woman world with self-awareness and internal investigation
• Our goal is to help you to step up and take action
• We will ask each participant to make a personal commitment to moving forward in their own anti-racism work.

All Proceeds from this class (and all July classes at Alchemy) will be donated to Black Lives Matter and Annapolis Coalition of Black Progressives (ACBP)
