Monica Bottagaro CMT,
is a MTIC Teaching
Assistant / Bodywork Lab Supervisor / Asian
Module Instructor (Zoku Shin Do). "My intention
for each class is to create an environment of
compassion and safety that allows for an
engaging and loving learning experience. It is incredibly
heartwarming to watch a student change over the course
of a year as they assimilate the breadth of information
that is taught in Year I. Everyone has their own
individual "AHA!"
moment. I am honored to a part of their
expanded awareness of the inter-connectedness
between their physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual bodies. The beautiful part of MTIC is
the symbiotic learning experience everyone
shares - students, TAs, teachers - we all learn
something new everyday".

 Josh Williamson CMT,
is a MTIC Student
Clinic Supervisor / Teaching Assistant
Acupressure Module Instructor. "If one brings
the body and its systems into balance, then
good health will follow. If good health is
achieved, then the mind and body are free to
stop the internal dialogue and begin to
acknowledge and listen to the true nature of the
world around us".
|
Nolus Sunoon CMT,
is a MTIC Teaching
Assistant. "My teaching philosophy is to gently
deliver the information to the student, and
deliver it in several different ways so the student
understands the material. My philosophy
in bodywork is to harmonize with the tissue to
enable it to easily melt. When working with
clients I teach them about their body, so I'm
not just doing the bodywork, and they are taking
this information and integrating it into their lives".
|
Mike Turner CMT,
is a MTIC Student Clinic
Supervisor / Teaching Assistant. "My Teaching
Philosophy is education, education, education.
One of the things I try to do with clients and
friends is to teach them about their bodies; I'm
constantly trying to get people interested in
their bodies".

 Mickey Mangold CMT, NMT / MTIC Director
of BodyMind Integration
"My role at MTIC includes teaching, mentoring
and supervising students and staff in several key
areas of our profession. These areas include
conscious business practices and ethics, mindfulness
and bodywork, and emotions and the
body or the BodyMind connection. I am passionate
about helping other professionals raise
their awareness and skills beyond those of the
average therapist. My teaching style is interactive
and I have high standards for myself and
my students. It is my intention to lovingly support
and nurture each individual who is interested
in their personal growth as a therapist, the
growth of our profession and the growth of the
health of this planet. As we each heal ourselves
we have infinitely more opportunity to offer our
innate gifts to others".
