Course Description

The practice of massage therapy can feel isolated, especially in uncertain times where we have to reconsider almost everything about how we practice. As we grow and encounter a greater variety of clients in our practice, we often encounter scenarios where we need the listening ears and lived experience of a variety of therapists to decide on the best client care. 

Mental health professionals use regular, structured group meetings, called Supervision, to examine their own work and their identity as professionals. Using this model, we can also grow in the profession, identify our strengths, and build our personal and professional lives around those strengths. 

With a structured group for support and accountability, massage therapists in this peer group will renew their knowledge and commitment to the profession, and thus improve the quality of care they deliver and gain inspiration for the future.

Dates & Times

The Peer Supervision Group will meet in person via Zoom on the second Tuesday of every month, from 6:30 - 7:30pm, Eastern time.  In addition to the group meetings, each participant will have the opportunity to schedule two individual meeting with the facilitator over the course of the year. These one-on-one meetings will be scheduled at your convenience.  

Tuition

At Healwell, we are continually working to make inequities visible and to change them. One of the ways we do this is by inviting people who engage with our programs to thoughtfully consider what they can and want to invest in the current and future state of our world and community. When you make the decision to benefit from content created by Healwell, we invite you to consider it as an investment.  

When you choose which level you’d like to pay, let it be an exploration of how you want to participate in the future. What can you afford to pay today? Can you help ensure that others can have this same experience you’re about to have while continuing to be able to meet their basic financial commitments? Can you offer a little more and invest in our collective future? Or is today a day when your heart wants to do that, but your wallet can’t?

Every day is different and every person is different. Be thoughtful. Think beyond yourself and choose a level that’s congruent with your financial life and your deepest values. We’ll all get there.
