What makes your
school different than the rest? Well, as we have mentioned previously – it is the combination of styles and techniques we apply that makes us truly unique. Being therapists ourselves, we have a great concern about how therapists use their bodies and their life energy, and we try to work with the Chi while increasing the awareness of the body ergonomics and breathing. Providing a therapy for someone in need is a sort of karma yoga practice too, and it can bring health and joy if the Chi is used in a mindful and balanced way. How long is your massage program(s), and what kind of commitment is required? We have realized long ago that massage therapists are busy professionals, and a type of knowledge they use the best is kinaesthetic. Therefore, our courses are short, one, two or 2.5 days the most, with some additional homework to be able to accumulate the number of ours required by a variety of Massage Colleges. In terms of commitment, it does require a sort of discipline because it is a partially self-directed learning, and there is an 8 month deadline for submissions to be completed. Do you have a program for international students of massage? At the moment we do not accommodate international students in Toronto, but in the summer we will be teaching in Europe (Croatia). As a matter of fact, next summer (September 2007) we will have another massage therapy retreat that qualifies for CEU’s and provides an opportunity to travel and learn at a beautiful Mediterranean sea. More information can be found at Stone Waters Massage? Education. And finally, in your opinion, what makes a good massage therapist or massage practitioner? The ability to embrace our own humanity is the condition upon which we will be able to grow as therapists. The etimology of the word “therapist” represents someone “who walks with me”. The pace of walk changes, and we as therapists are not always able to follow “the walker” or lead him or her, or be compassionate and patient to be in the background just waiting, but we can try. In this constant effort of trying to be the best human being we could possibly be, we could experience a few truly amazing moments. When healing happens,yyatswer it affects us all.
