Clear, respectful boundaries are the foundation of every ethical massage practice. In this interactive session, Christine and Eric will share their expertise on recognizing and upholding client and therapist boundaries to build stronger therapeutic relationships while avoiding ethical or legal missteps. Best known for their motto, “There is no right way to do the wrong thing,” this duo will bring humor, insight, and real-world experience while exploring the ethics behind what we do, the values that shape our profession, and the statutes that guide responsible practice.
