Your Instructor –

Carmel Andrews LMT, BCTMB

As a practitioner and educator for the last 27 years, I have transformed my passion and excitement for grounded, efficient and client-centered bodywork into a contemporary offering that helps working therapists expand their client reach while also vastly improving their client outcomes.

 

I am so excited to create a weekly space where everyone can participate in a fun and rejuvenating learning experience. We all have an innate talent to heal with touch, its in our DNA.  I want to share my knowledge in a supportive environment that uplifts any and all who are interested to enrich themselves and their community with the gift of touch.

 

My background is diverse and encompasses clinical focus in pain management, international private practice and world-class spa leadership. Many years of core curriculum instruction for the massage field are brought together with my specialty knowledge and education to create course experiences that regard current evidence and bespoke technique applications as the future of bodywork professionals. 

 

My teaching specializations include Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Ashiatsu (Barefoot Massage), Traditional Thai, Pre/Post-Natal Massage, Sports and Orthopedic Technique, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Deep Tissue and Injury/Surgical Rehab.

 

I hold Board Certification in the United States through NCBTMB and I am a member of AMTA, ABMP, AMTE and COMTA. I am also professionally licensed in Hawaii, Texas and Washington to practice and teach Massage Therapy.
