Stark State College: 15 Year Anniversary of Massage Therapy Program

2014 marks the 15th anniversary of the Massage Therapy program at Stark State College. I am honored that I was asked to develop and teach the program 15 years ago by program coordinator, Ed Denning. Many fine therapists have graduated from these classes.

Since that time, several new instructors have joined the program as it has grown.  I appreciate the contribution of all the faculty and staff in creating an excellent learning environment for our future health care providers.

If you're a graduate of the program, thanks for choosing Stark State. If you're a resident of Stark County, come experience a relaxing massage from our current class of new therapists in the student clinic.

I look forward to another 15 years!

Reiki at Stark State College

For those interested in expanding their therapeutic skills, I'll be teaching a First Degree Reiki seminar at Stark State College in August this year. The Seminar will be Friday and Saturday, August 19 and 20 from 9:30 to 3:30 each day. The course fee is $200.

Reiki (pronounced ray’-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. The Usui System of Reiki was born out of the experience and dedication of Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800’s. It provides a means of accessing and focusing this energy for personal well-being and growth.

Reiki helps balance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy. It is a powerful tool for health and wellness, stress reduction and self-care. This natural healing art supports the body’s ability to heal physical ailments and may open the mind to the root causes of disease and pain.

Reiki can be effectively incorporated into the healing arts practiced by massage therapists, nurses, counselors and physicians. Anyone can easily learn to use this holistic tool to create balanced wellness in life.

In the First Degree weekend seminar you will learn the history of Reiki, how to treat yourself and others, and the five precepts of Reiki. This is a relaxed, experiential workshop with time practicing and sharing your experience.
