AMTA NC Chapter Blog

The AMTA-NC Southeast Unit held two – three hour classes on March 13, 2010 in Wilmington, N.C.  Val Popov taught Ethics for Massage Therapists (Standard V) to 24 therapists, giving us are 3 hours of required credit.  His class on Ethics was informative because it focused on client/therapist communications, holding our boundaries, and he gave life experiences that were very helpful in our practice.  By using the acronym ACT, it gave us step-by-step processes to use with our clients.

We had 19 people for BodyMind Therapy Techniques (3 hours credit).  In this introductory course for BodyMind Therapy, he gave us an easy way to understand the three body types, how to increase of perceptual skills, and increase our sensitivity to traumas that are stuck in the body from either the mind and/or body perspective.

What makes Val such a great teacher is his gentle way of presenting the information, his positive feedback, and he shares his extensive knowledge with everyone.  If Val teaches a class in your area, I would highly recommend you attending it to get your credits.
