Ethical standards are important for building trust with your clients, and creating a safe and thriving practice.
Maintaining and upholding an ethical practice is important for any profession, but especially for massage therapy. While working with your clients, complicated issues may arise, and knowing how to handle these problems in a professional, ethical manner can be the key to a successful practice.

Complaints against massage therapists are rarely about poor hands-on technique or inadequate positioning. They more often involve situations where personal beliefs, feelings or attitudes are in conflict with professional ethics and boundaries. This course helps to uncover personal assumptions or biases that may confuse ethical issues which could arise in your massage practice.
