What our trainings cover.
The Teal Center has hosted professional trainings since the early 2000s. Most are run several times a year by our senior staff or by visiting instructors we trust — practitioners who teach because they're still actively practicing, not because they've stopped.
Sessions are limited to small groups (usually 8–14 students) so the work stays hands-on. Many alumni return year after year, both for the technical content and because the room itself, the same one our clients use, is a good environment to practice in.
If you teach a modality and would like to host a training here, we're always open to conversations. We can co-promote, handle registration through WellnessLiving, and coordinate the room.
