Location & Travel Information

The final class location will be announced this week and will be within Houston or the immediate surrounding areas.

For those traveling by air, please plan to arrive at:

William P. Hobby Airport (HOU)

If you require transportation from the airport to your hotel, please notify Janie or Terrie in advance. We will do our best to help arrange transportation whenever possible.

Hands-On Clinical Training

Saturday afternoon will include supervised hands-on clinical experience. Students will work with an actual client under direct supervision.

Students are asked to provide their own client for the treatment session. We will notify clients of their arrival time for Saturday afternoon.

The normal fee for this treatment is $150–$200, but clients participating in the student clinic will receive treatment for $75.

This long-standing approach offers students an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience while simultaneously building their future practice. Many clients who experience positive results become valuable sources of referrals and recommendations.

Massage Tables

Students who own a massage table are encouraged to bring it if possible. We anticipate accommodating approximately 4–6 tables at one time.

If there are not enough tables available, students may need to rotate in shifts. Additional tables may allow the class to finish earlier.

What to Wear & Bring

Please dress comfortably. Sweatpants, shorts, or any clothing that allows you to relax and move comfortably are appropriate.

We also encourage you to bring:

Snacks
Lunch
Drinks
A light blanket or shawl if you tend to get cold

Our goal is to keep everyone comfortable, energized, and focused throughout the training.

Networking & Community

Beyond the instruction itself, this class offers a wonderful opportunity to learn, network, connect with fellow practitioners, and build lasting professional relationships.

We look forward to spending this exciting weekend learning and growing together.
