LMT Continuing Education
Continuing education is a requirement for Washington State Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs). We are required to take at least 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years. This includes hands-on training, ethics, and health equity topics. Veritas LMTs frequently exceed that minimum. We hold a foundational value regarding the importance of deepening our knowledge base and gaining heightened mastery of techniques. We are honored and excited to provide a space for ourselves, and our LMT community, to learn and grow together. Please reach out if you are interested in offering CE classes. These will be small, quality vetted classes for individualized focus and guidance, with evidence-based practices as a guiding principle.

Foundations of Multidimensional Intuitive Touch:Massage in Motion
Sunday, December 7, 2025
10:00 AM 5:00 PM
Welcome to the world of Multidimensional Intuitive Touch. Get ready to experience a whole new perspective of how you can manipulate the body. Join me for a 1 day immersive workshop where we will explain and explore the principles and theories of this style of bodywork that I have developed over the last decade of practicing and learning different modalities of bodywork.
This modality is all about deeply listening and connecting with our clients mind, body, and spirit so that we may truly be a conduit of healing. It is about getting out of our own way as a therapist and allowing our clients body to lead and guide the session. Massage can be effective/impactful (therapeutic), and relaxing/nurturing/nourishing all at the same time. Why put limitations on the type of treatment that we can provide and know the client’s body is asking for?
This class will focus on different philosophies and techniques of how to move and manipulate your body, your clients body, and both bodies together as one unit. We will focus on deeply listening to our clients bodies/needs and let their body lead the session. This allows us to get out of the way of the healing and truly be a conduit for our clients. This work strongly encourages creativity and adaptivity for every individual.
The goal is to have you find and create new ways to mix up the great work that you are already doing for your clients. You will walk out of this workshop with a new perspective of how to elevate the work you do while staying true to you and your work.
Bucket O’Wings-Free the Scapula

If you are looking for some fun, creative, and exciting ways to open up the scapula, this is the class for you!
We will go through a series of variations of a technique I call the ‘chicken wing’ both prone & supine. Then you will take these positions to create and integrate with your own personal style.
