Course Reviews

S. Sinclair, LMT, NCTMB

This was one of the most interesting ethics courses I've taken. Many topics were new to me and very timely and applicable. I actually felt that I took away some valuable information from this course.

Elizabeth Janele, LMT, NCTMB

I am glad that I am required to take this course. Over time practicing as a therapist, I think it is easy to lose sight of certain rules and boundaries that might seem more clear cut right out of school. I learned a great deal about myself through reading the material contained in the course.

Sandra Mills-Epstein, LMT

I took this course on the final leg of completing my CEU's for NYS. My intent was to simply get through it to get the last of the credits I needed. After practicing for many years I didn't think I really "needed" another look at "Ethics". What a surprise to find the course in it's entirety important, interesting, helpful, insightful and meaningful. I'll be back for more.

Mita Sigaard, LMT

Some of the legal terminology was very new and exciting and unexpected. I had never known the difference between a tort and a crime, or defamation vs. invasion of privacy. Most of these things are not discussed in relation to massage therapy.

Martha Harger, LMT, NCTMB

I feel like the class really capture key points that ALL therapists need to know, and as a business owner having worked with multiple therapists for years, many of them could use this review!!
