Bodyworkers

Here are some books (and a video) I recommend to anyone considering a professional bodywork practice. My comments on them are located in the Bodyworkers section of the Rosen Method Resource pages. The links below for each book will take you to that section.

The video version of Shogo Mochizuki's Hand Maintenance Guide for Massage Therapists

If you'd like to develop a website for your practice, please contact me to discuss your needs. My partner and I offer personalized, reasonably priced services. Presenting yourself and the work you do through a website can be a very satisfying experience.

We specialize in holding the hands of beginners as they launch their first site. We can advise you on the most economical way to register your domain name and host your site, and we can teach you to use simple tools, so you can maintain your site yourself. You can write to us at Crayon Jones/the interface is the experience.

The Body Therapy Center

I've studied at the Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto, CA for several years now, and I'm impressed with the school's values. They use only the best teachers, they honestly care about their students, and they're constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve. In addition to training practitioners, the Center offers a variety of community workshops to the public.
