BEFORE YOU REGISTER FOR CLASSES

BE SURE TO READ OUR

CANCELLATION POLICY.

WE WILL NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS!

Registering online requires full payment at time of registration. If you prefer to hold your space by paying a deposit at this time, call us at 828-288-3727. A deposit of 1/2 the cost of the class is required to hold your place in class and the remainder must be paid two weeks before the beginning of the class.  If you register within two weeks of the class, the full amount must be paid.

Cancellations made at least two weeks in advance will receive a full refund.  Cancellations of less than two weeks, but more than 48 hours in advance of the class, will receive credit towards a future class. Cancellations of less than 48 hours will not receive a refund or any future credit.  It is suggested that you register as far in advance as possible, as some classes sell out very early. We will be glad to put you on a notification list for a full class in the event of a cancellation.

Many of our instructors are from out of state and need ample time to make travel arrangements. If they don’t have the required number of students at least ten days before a class, it will be cancelled, so don’t wait until the last minute to register.

In the event that we are forced to cancel a class for any reason, we will refund your money in full.  In the event that inclement weather in our area forces the cancellation of any class during the winter months, we will make every attempt to reschedule the class. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled class, your money will be refunded.  In the event inclement weather forces you to cancel your attendance at the last minute (less than 48 hours notice), you will receive credit towards a future class.  We have people attending from several states and we just can’t be responsible for the weather everywhere.

Sept 14-16 (Sat-Mon) Christine Courtney will be teaching Indian Head Massage. This is one of our most popular classes every year and Christine is one of our most beloved instructors.

Indian Head Massage includes the head, neck, back and upper extremities. It is an Eastern Indian modality and parts of the massage may be adapted for the table. This class includes 21 CE Contact Hours of Indian Head Massage as well as a free 3 CE Hour Ethics class taught by Laura Allen. If you have already met your Ethics requirement you may be excused, but the price is the same. A total of 24 CE Contact Hours, $375.00.   Click Here to Register
