As a business heavily weighted with hydrotherapy sessions, it is important for our employees and staff to be well versed in the things you have to know for Hydrotherapy.
The Books "Creatures of Water by RJ Nikola" and "A Beginners Guide to Aromatherapy For the Student Aroma or Massage Therapist by Rev. J. Maya Ravensong-Lawrence" are in the office library. The answers to these questions can be found in those books.


If you want to be licensed as an LMT in NE, you must have 100 hours of Hydrotherapy. UCHA is willing to allow LMT's who need those hours to attend just that class. Contact Paulette at UCHA for more information
