LMT Licensed Massage Therapist
My license to
practice, awarded by the Louisiana State Board of Massage Therapy(LSBMT).
Shown are the Certificate of Eligibility awarding the license, and the
annual valid renewal. The LSBMT is the official organization of the State
of Louisiana which regulates my profession. In order to be eligible for
renewal of my license, the LSBMT requires that I remain insured and
attend approved Continuing Education classes annually.

Dipl. ABT Diplomate of Asian Bodywork Therapy
My certificate awarded by the
National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine;
and a close-up of its seal. The training I received from the Boston Shiatsu
School (below) was quite different than that of the accepted curriculuae
found in Louisiana schools. Because the LSBMT doesn't have or recognize
any exam related to my out of state and Asian training, I was required
to pass a national exam administered by the NCCAOM to be eligible for
licensure. The NCCAOM is a nationally recognized official organization
regulating Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and ABT.

Introduction to Kinesiology
I opted to try
a home-study course, and purchased this course
in Kinesiology from John H. Schewe's Living Body Series.
I'm glad I chose this, as I bought it 8 days before
Hurricane Katrina changed....so very much.
This was a great
anatomy refresher and an interesting
look at the science of body movement.
I would recommend LBS courses to other practitioners.
I'd always
been interested because my Uncle Nat van Leeuwen
was a revered Kinesiologist in Israel.

Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Their Clinical Applications
An advanced, very informative and useful detailed workshop. It wasn't recognized by the LSBMT, but well worth the trip to Austin.

Introduction to Thai Massage
A client, collegue and friend, Stephanie Shrum, LMT, went to Thailand to study then returned to share what she'd learned.
One of the most
informative and useful classes I've attended;
I still use some techniques in every session.
I highly recommed
any of her courses to anyone looking for a genuine, respectful interpretation
of this time-honored
professional healing modality.
