This month, join us in welcoming presenter Ariel F. Hubbard.

Massage for Anxiety: Did you know that anxiety has increased in the national population by 5% from 2020-2024, and continues to increase since the pandemic? Massage Therapists need to be able recognize the presentation of anxiety and to treat it within their scope of practice. During this presentation, we will discuss how to recognize the physical, emotional, and medical indicators of anxiety in clients.
