Self-Care For Massage and Bodywork Therapists

Course Description

AS MASSAGE AND BODYWORK THERAPISTS, much of our energy is dedicated to the physical well-being of others. However, we often neglect our self-preservation. A healthy routine prevents stress, burnout, transference, countertransference, compassion fatigue, and chronic pain while caring for others.

With over 30 years of experience as a licensed counselor, mental health counselor, marriage and family therapist, and licensed massage and bodywork therapist in Greensboro, Jill White-Huffman has a knack for understanding others’ needs. It’s easy to get sidetracked, leading to increased stress or burnout.
A consistent, healthy routine is essential for preventing internal disruptions caused by triggers, vulnerabilities, and barriers. These factors can affect our mind-body awareness and ability to experience the present moment fully.

To support healthcare professional, caregivers, and others looking for effective self-care strategies, Hill created Experience Zen as a Lifestyle, a Path Toward Mindful Self-Care, to help individuals feel calmer, more grounded, and balanced while caring for others.

Jill combines her Mindful Self-Care curriculum with Zen teaching to present “Experience Zen.” She offers practical, easy-to-understand techniques for integrating regular meditative breathing exercises and therapeutic stretching workouts into daily routines, which can help manage stress and prevent burnout.

Mindful Self-Care is an essential practice that requires training our minds daily through healthy home self-care practices, similar t how we develop plans to condition our bodies. Remembering that you must take care of yourself before you can care for others is vital.
