- Students: Unless otherwise specified in the class description, yes, classes are open to students. We encourage students to round out their massage school education when they are appropriately far enough in massage school to absorb what they are learning. Please note, your school's liability insurance most likely does not cover you while taking classes or practicing techniques learned outside of your school's curriculum. Please check your student liability insurance. It is strongly recommended that you purchase student liability insurance prior to taking a hands-on continuing education class. If you do not have insurance, you are personally liable if you happen to injure anyone during classes.
- Unlicensed Massage Therapists: If you are renewing your expired massage license due to it expiring or to obtain one because you have moved from out of state, you are welcome to attend our classes. Please note, if you have malpractice insurance, it is quite possible that your insurance will not cover you if you do not have a valid massage license if you injure someone. Please check your liability insurance. If your insurance will not cover you for any reason, you are personally liable if you happen to injure anyone during classes.
