Independent Study [PetMassage Home Study Course]

Independent Study [PetMassage Home Study Course]

The intention of this course is for you to be an SME, Subject Matter Expert on the topic assigned to you. The report must be in a research paper form that we can edit, as a Word Document. It will be published on the PetMassage.com website and made available for peer review.

In this 3-hour CEC/CEU course, you’ll focus your attention on a single topic. Jonathan Rudinger, PetMassage™ Founder and Instructor, will assign or agree to your choice of topic, and guide you as you explore your topic in depth. This is a short study. The length of your paper will also be short: only a minimum of 3 pages.

Completing a research project will enhance your practice by enhancing the depth of your knowledge. If you are an LMT, these are the continuing ed credits that you can use to fulfill your licensing requirements.

Choose from topics in the areas of:

  • Animal Massage
  • Animal Body Work
  • Animal Energy Work
  • Animal Anatomy & Physiology
  • Animal Kinesiology
  • Animal Behavior
  • Animal Pathology

Or a topic of your choice, caveat: it must be animal related.

Your topic will be assigned by PetMassage Instructor, Jonathan Rudinger, after a conversation with him; which will help identify your area of interest.
