Mentoring (aka Supervision) for Massage Practitioners

Mentoring is all about supporting fellow therapists as they evolve into the practitioners they want to be. This support is available in four different formats and all are recognised as valuable continued professional development (CPD) by the Massage Training Institute (MTI)

1. Regular monthly group meetings

• £20 per person for 2-2.5 hours, depending on group size
• Small groups meet in my Southville treatment room (max 4, including me)
• Larger groups are possible in Clifton (max 6, including me)

2. Regular one-to-one meetings

• £20 per hour
• Meeting in my Southville treatment room or a mutually conducive café

3. Ad-hoc one-to-one meetings, as needed

• £20 per hour
• Meeting in my Southville treatment room or a mutually conducive café

4. Skype, telephone and email mentoring

• £20 per hour

Meeting details

All meetings are tailored to meet your needs on the day.
We’ll check-in, set an agenda, and use the time available as productively as we can.
We might… share experience, review hands-on techniques, discuss questions, develop knowledge, reflect on specific events, even get our APP books out!

Mentoring or Supervision?

I use the terms mentoring and supervision interchangeably, although I deeply favour mentoring. Supervision is the term I’ve grown up with, but for me, “being supervised” still has connotations of being told what to do and of being judged. Mentoring is about facilitating a safe, open space for the developing, honing, and evolving their skills, approach and practice. A mentor stands alongside rather than above.

Practicing What I Preach!

I’ve received mentoring within a group run by Charmaine Storer for many years now. I’m convinced that paying attention to my practice in this way makes me a better therapist. See my CPD page for more about how valuable mentoring is >
