Reflections on the Introductory Workshop:

I hope you enjoyed the Introductory Workshop at OVCMT. This weekend is such a great opportunity for you to discover what the massage therapy program is all about. If you choose to carry on you will, in all sincerity, enter one of the most fun and challenging phases of your life. You will push yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually but as each day passes you will feel yourself becoming stronger and getting closer to the place that you want to be, closer to who you want to be. The friends you make become family and your teachers become mentors. You will be encased in your experience and in the process. This is a program that you have to do for yourself, not your parents, friends or partners. You will find yourself studying late into the night and awaking early to practice, but you will also find that the growth you experience in the program is intense and beautiful - you will be amazed at the person you are in the end. Take care of yourself, and know that with hard work, focus and determination, you will have an amazing two years!
