The Healwell Community of Practice
There’s more to massage therapy than rubbing people.
There’s more to you than hands.
The Healwell Community of Practice is about doing the work with the support, laughter, joy, and shared strength of the people who understand why this job is hard.
People like you.
So, welcome! We’re so glad you’re here!
The Healwell Community of Practice can help support your passions and goals.
