👏👏👏

It has been a minute! But, McKinnon’s Community Member of the Week is….. Olivia!!!! 💕💕💕💕

It has been nearly a DECADE since Olivia first joined the team, and with both excitement and sadness, the time has come where we must announce that she will no longer be holding it down with the admin team as of today 😭

It cannot be put into words how much she will be missed, but we are so excited for Olivia’s new journey ahead.

You will definitely still see her around the school as a demo body, taking headshots for the students (stay tuned!), and just *hanging out*!

, you are just amazing. You always have a home here, and our whole community here is always by your side 🙌🙌

GIG OPPORTUNITY: Massage for Pediatric Palliative Care Nurses // {San Leandro, CA}

*Hot Stone Massage (24 hrs) returns next week! 💆‍♀️

5/7/2024 - 5/23/2024 ~ T/Th afternoons (2-6p)

In this 24-hour course, students will learn the use of hot stones blended with traditional Swedish massage. This can be a wonderful & attractive addition to your established massage practice. We will also go over hot stone hygiene, contraindications, selection, placement, and the use of cold stones. McKinnon will provide stone warmers, basalt and white-marble stones, & other essential equipment so students can learn which set up will work best for them in their practice.

From the instructor, Tenisha Shree Young: "Hot Stones are a wonderful addition to almost all modalities of massage, especially Swedish. Adding variety, creativity, as well as holistic health benefits, all while reducing provider fatigue. The heat and weight of the Hot Stones soften muscle tissue faster and allow for increased pressure and depth with less effort. Making for a valuable skill to add to your toolbox. If you are interested don't delay in signing up as the class may be cancelled if not enough students enroll. Don't miss out on this stimulating opportunity to expand in your massage practice!"
