Panhandle Region November 2025 Meeting @ Healing Points by Denise
Nov 15 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Intuition….

Does it actively play a role in Massage Therapy? And if it does….

Is it a skill that we’ve developed through time, through practice, and through the unheard act of simply being present- really, present?

Every touch we impart, always tells us every unspoken story. It whispers in the silence, and imbues in every breath.

Please, come and join us in this immersive event.

Discover how intuition elevates our practice, beyond technique.

Let’s discuss The Power of Intuition in Massage Therapy, and explore how to listen with our hands, sense with our hearts, and create a deeper connection with every client.

Join us for an evening of insight.

When: Saturday, November 15, 2025
From: 5pm-7pm
Where: Healing Points by Denise, 5121 69th Street, Suite 702, Lubbock, Texas 79424
