Massage has meant so much to James Waslaski and he shares just how much. Be on the lookout for more of our Bright IDEAs blog series as we provide insight and insider information on our IDEA 2015 Conference educators right up to May 1!
Q. How does massage therapy affect other aspects of your life? For example, does massage therapy influence your hobbies, your relationships, and your outlook on the world?
A. I have been blessed to teach in so many countries. I just returned from teaching my 7th time in Australia and also taught in a retreat in Bali, Indonesia. I have also taught in Ireland, Scotland, London, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Canada, New Zealand, Greece, and so many other great places. I have had the honor of meeting so many amazing people throughout the world. I also have done an annual cruise seminar where I have co-taught with industry leaders like Erik Dalton, Dr. Tom Hyde, Aaron Mattes, George Kousaleos, Mike McGillicudy, Linda Solien Wolfe, Steve Cappilini, Lloyd List, Stuart Taws, Paul St. John, and so many others. Their work has transformed the way I look at the body and their friendships are priceless!
