PMTI Alum Ginger Ingalls to Publish Article in Industry Journal
Congratulations to Ginger Ingalls! Ginger was invited to publish an article in Cranial Wave, a journal of the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America. Ginger expains, "This piece integrates what I have been taught and a sense of pioneering and following my heart. It comes out of my daily practice of contemplating my S.O.A.P. notes that I write, and then writing in my diary about what feels new, interesting, or refreshing."
Ginger has graciously given us permission to reprint her article. You can read the full text of the article here.

PMTI Awards Scholarships for Massage and Cancer Work
Thanks to the generosity of Peg Buzy’s family, PMTI wilisable to offer scholarships for advance coursework in Massage Therapy and Cancer Training. Peg served PMTI and our students for many years in our Fieldwork program, and spearheaded the nursing home project that is the first field project for Level 1 students. The Peg Buzy scholarships are meant to help defray the costs of special training in working with clients living with cancer in order to encourage more work in this area. Recipients are expected to come back and share the information with PMTI students, in addition to contributing their skills to those living with cancer.
