The full schedule is available below, and here we are highlighting the Wednesday, October 21 presentation "Presence, Boundaries, and Emotional Resiliency" with Cal Cates and Kerry Jordan. Join Healwell’s Cal Cates and Kerry Jordan for a thoughtful discussion exploring the benefits of modifying our definitions of boundaries, serving, and what it means to be a health care partner. Throughout the course they share tools to expand your awareness and develop helpful habits to navigate impermanence and show up to suffering without taking on suffering.
Cal Cates
Cal Cates has been teaching and developing curriculum for massage therapy courses focused on hospital-based practice, oncology massage, and end-of-life care since 2007. Their* experience in clinical practice in hospitals around the US has informed their teaching style greatly. Cal is clear that massage therapy is health care and feels a personal commitment to inviting students to consider themselves as integral to a whole-person healing process. Their favorite thing about teaching health-care providers through Healwell is the ability to blend nerdiness and authenticity to create opportunities to be more effective, more human, and more flexible. *Cal identifies as gender fluid and uses the pronouns they, their, and them when being referred to in the third person.

Kerry Jordan

She brings 20 years of experience as an instructor and has an extensive background in teaching pathology and physiology and adapting massage therapy for special populations. Before training as a massage therapist, Kerry owned and operated a successful yoga studio in Boston. She has been teaching yoga since 1999. Kerry is recognized by the Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500 and a continuing education provider, weaving the principles of yoga and meditation into her teaching and service work with yogis, massage therapists, and health-care providers.
