Continuing Education Workshops Gaining Popularity

2007-09-18T09:58:00.000-04:00

As fall approaches, the phone rings more often with folks eager to sign up
for continuing education courses. And who can blame them??? With options
such as Shiatsu Fundamentals, Thai Yoga Massage, and Integrating the
Emotional Body...WOW! And that's just to mention a few. The participants
from last weekend's course, Advanced Neuromuscular, gave incredible reviews!
It was great to see so many alumni back on campus. And for those of you who
did graduate from CFMNH, please remember that you get $100 discount on any
CE workshop you attend! So call us soon to reserve your space in one of our
exciting upcoming classes. We'd love to have you!

Hello to everyone out there from the Center for Massage Therapy Clinic!

Our innovative office staff would love to share with you another fabulous modality. Please enjoy the brief snippit on Kodo massage included below.

The traditional massage of indigenous Australian
culture honors dreaming, or Dreamtime, and the
expanded consciousness it can create. A new technique,
Kodo, builds on that tradition, offering clients deep
peace and relaxation. With its rhythmic rocking,
circular movements, sweeping strokes and aromatherapy,
Kodo massage is making inroads at spas throughout
North America.

Welcome September Night Class!

2007-09-05T12:02:00.000-04:00

Last night was orientation night for the new group of students. It was such
a great experience to sit among like-minded people all wanting to share in
the experience of massage therapy. People have come from all over the US to
join the class. I can tell by looking at their faces that they are curious,
motivated, and ready to succeed in the program. The first night of class is
always a little scary...but by the end of the night, everyone was laughing
and telling their own stories of what drew them to this magical journey. I
cannot wait to see how this unfolds!

CEU Hassles Become CEU Luxury Vacations!

2005-06-03T09:12:00.000-04:00

Wouldn’t it be dreamy if you could make one phone call and have it all taken care of for you in advance? And wouldn’t it be even better if all your needs would be taken care of at one place? And wouldn’t be even better still if that place was in an incredible vacation destination? Well there is such a place. It is called the Center for Massage & Natural Health.

Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, there is a not-so-little-anymore-town called Asheville. It has been rated one of the top vacation destinations in the country as well as one of the top 10 places to live in the United States. The Center for Massage & Natural Health provides a paradise-like Retreat and Education Center just 6 miles north of popular down-town Asheville, in what feels like worlds away from the progressive city center.

Situated on their private 24-acre estate, just 3 miles from the interstate, this exclusive Massage School and Continuing Education Retreat Center offers all-inclusive CEU Retreat Vacations that are utterly unique in the industry. While enjoying some of the most popular and exciting massage and bodywork CEU workshops, guests of the Center relax in the luxury of their beautiful Retreat while earning their State Board and other educational requirements. Their courses are designed to provide the highest quality continuing education experience in a private retreat setting that caters to their every need. Guests may choose either private or semi-private retreat accommodations, and while they are studying a fun and exciting bodywork modality, the Center for Massage & Natural Health’s chef will be preparing delicious and nutritious vegetarian cuisine for them to enjoy in their Natural Health Café, located in the Retreat Center.Guests enjoy the privacy of their own beautiful guest room, or they may bring a fellow therapist to take advantage of the Semi-Private accommodations savings. If you don’t know of anyone, they will be happy to match you with someone.

Accommodations include spacious guest rooms, each with 2 queen beds, TV with Cable, private bath with separate vanity area, private balcony with stunning mountain or lake views and in-room French Lavender Essential Oil hospitality products. In the evenings, guests socialize in the Great Room in front of the 30’ native stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows with the most spectacular views, study in the Resource Library, or simply relax on the expansive deck overlooking the lake. Their beautiful private lake is surrounded by a paved, softly lit walkway, and is perfect for an evening stroll. Whether you attend for your licensing requirements, or simply to broaden your natural healing horizons, their all-inclusive packages will leave you with a feeling of having had the most splendid vacation, and often for a fraction of the cost of creating an ala carte, high stress experience for yourself. And even better yet, for therapists, it's fully tax deductible! General Pricing: $425 for most weekend workshops, including FREE Professional Ethics course, and complimentary lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Add Private Accommodations and all meals for $270, or Semi-Private Accommodations and all meals for $170.
