This course will focus on the topic of ethics, combining eastern (Vedic) and western principles as they relates to daily bodywork dynamics and interpersonal relationships. As bodyworkers, we are challenged daily with decisions that could adversely or positively affect our success and the professionalism of the industry.  Ethics and professionalism can be very personal, controversial and individual, so this course will address generalized issues determined by the code of ethics developed by the National Board of Therapeutic Bodywork and Massage (NCBTMB), The Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP), and The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). There will always be situations you have to access uniquely and trust your judgment.

The manual has many detailed pictures and is very easy to understand. Upon receipt of your answer sheet with a score of 75% or higher and course evaluation, you will be awarded your CE hours from the NCBTMB and sent a professional wall certificate. Students are given 6 months (from the date the home study package is sent in the mail) to complete their course.
