"Raising the Standards in Massage Education"

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in Barbara White Seminars. Massage is a wonderfully rewarding career for those with a love for helping others. Massage as a career, and its recognition among other health care professionals, has grown tremendously in recent years. Your knowledge or lack of knowledge makes a vital impression on our patrons as well as the other health care professionals in our communities. Our seminars provide a superior education in one of the fastest growing health-care fields today. Stand out above the rest and make a good impression for our profession.

Mission statement

My mission is to train masterfully skilled therapists by providing superior education with a challenging, thorough curriculum; proper working tools; a caring, professional staff; and a positive, supportive environment. At Barbara White Seminars, I am dedicated to "Raising the Standards in Massage Education." My aim is to elevate the level of therapeutic knowledge and safe practice for all Massage Therapists.

Objectives

The objectives of Barbara White Seminars is to teach a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of the human body and to develop proficiency and confidence in the manipulation of soft tissue and application of Spa modalities. The seminars will teach the understanding of the benefits, effects, and limitations of massage therapy and the judgment necessary to refer clients to other professional health care practitioners when appropriate. The seminars will also teach an understanding of self-care, including proper movement during massage for safety and injury prevention.

CE Requirements...

The State of Texas requires all therapists to take a minimum of 12 hours of continuing education for a two year license renewal. NCBTMB requires 48 hours of continuing education over 4 years for renewal, of which 6 hours must be in the area of Ethics, Standards & Boundaries.

Outstanding Continuing Education

Barbara is proud to offer some of the finest continuing education classes available. Barbara White Seminars continuing education workshops are approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodyworks under Category A.

I have been teaching Continuing Education courses for 7 years and ran a fully licensed Massage School during that time. Currently I am proud to be teaching for Susan Salvo's school in Lake Charles Louisiana, The LA Institute of Massage Therapy. I highly recommend her school for those interested in pursuing a career in Massage Therapy. While not teaching for Susan, I run a very busy therapeutic practice in my private studio and teach CE classes as Barbara White Seminars.

Barbara White Seminars offers three styles of continuing Education programs.

Studio workshops...

Studio workshops are small usually 2-4 students in my private studio. The course content is full and detailed but the environment is layed back and private. No large groups. Weather permitting, pool-side classes are offered with maximum enrollment of 10 colleagues.

A studio workshop can turn into a conference workshop if enrollment greatly exceeds the size of my studio. Any enrollment occuring above & beyond 4 will be temporarily placed on a waiting list until size is confirmed to be large enough and all initial enrollments have been notified of additional interest. If the first enrolled students object to changing course style to a conference workshop enrollment will be capped. In this event an additional class may be added to the schedule to accomodate the overflow. All students will be notified of the class status at enrollment and updated accordingly.

It is important to me that your wishes be heard. Please don't remain silent.

Conference Workshops...

Conference Workshops are held in conference rooms within the community and usually won't enroll more than 15 students. These classes will be conducted slightly more formally but still hold many qualities of the studio workshops. My studio just isn't that big....Frequently the same courses will be offered for both studio and conference workshops. The same class style upgrade procedures will apply to conference workshops as well as changes to move the workshop back to my studio if enrollment is not sufficient. I will enroll a class with as little as 2 students but only in my studio. Please keep me notified if you do not wish for a studio style class.

Seminars...

Seminars must enroll a minimum of 20 students and will be held as a fun formal seminar. Usually these classes are located in larger cities and are longer full-throttle classes. These seminars are for the true professional who wants the most out of their career and are part of a series such as Neuromuscular Therapy, The Myofascial Component, Spa Certification. Once all courses in the series are completed a certification is awarded to the professional. Incentives are offered for enrollment in a whole series.
