I’ve also taken many one-day or weekend massage and other health modality workshops overt the years to maintain my license, but not working towards any particular long term certification or study. These have included deep tissue for specific areas of the body (neck, ribcage, knee, intra-oral and jaw-specific work, etc.), breath work, mediation, movement, and more.
