Skin Health - A Bodyworker's Rights & Responsibilities
(4 CE Hours)

INSTRUCTORS: ANNIE POWELL, LMT & Jeff Forman, Ph.D. NCTMB

As a massage therapist, you’ll find yourself questioning your rights and responsibilities when you see something on a client’s skin that “just doesn’t look right”. This dynamic workshop will teach you how to identify and address skin abnormalities, including all types of skin cancers, in an interactive and fun atmosphere.


After participating in this workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Recognize irregular moles and feel comfortable with making clients aware of the dangers of tanning beds and unprotected UVA/UVA sun exposure.
- Understand the latest statistics from the American Academy of Dermatology and you will receive literature fro your office to hand out to clients to educate them in our mission.
- Understand how to approach clients in a compassionate manner, refer them to a board certified dermatologist and stay within the scope of their practice.
