About Dynamic Equilibrium

Dynamic Equilibrium is owned and directed by Nancy Toner Weinberger. The company encompasses her private practice, courses for personal development, courses for professional development, and the publication of the Professional Education & Resource Guide. Continuing Education courses for massage therapists and bodyworkers are approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). These courses include those taught by Nancy, as well as those taught by approved guest instructors. Courses offered reflect the requests and needs of the bodywork community, as well as the expertise of the instructor. Courses are regularly revised and updated based on feedback from class participants, new material that becomes available relating to the course offered, and changes in national, state, and local rules and regulations.

The number of Continuing Education hours awarded for completion of each approved course is listed with the course description. In order to receive Continuing Education hours two conditions must be met: Each Participant must attend a course in its entirety; each participant must demonstrate that they have met the learning objectives for the course, as observed by the instructor during the class. Certificates of Completion are issued by the approved provider whenever NCBTMB-approved continuing education hours are awarded. At times, the course offerings are co-sponsored with a school or professional organization. Certificates of Completion may be awarded by Dynamic Equilibrium, or by the sponsoring provider.

Educational Philosophy and Mission

Ongoing education is an essential element in the development of any profession and in the success of the professionals that comprise that profession. Education for professionals should follow the principles of adult learning theory in its orientation and presentation. Education should always meet the participants where they are so that communication and learning can be successful. Information alone can be conveyed in a book; one does not require the presence of an instructor. It is the insight on the part of the instructor, the listening, the relationship formed between the teacher and the student, the mentor and apprentice, that brings learning to the level of understanding, where it can be integrated. With application and experience, this learning then emerges in the work of the professional, enhancing and developing the profession.

Dynamic Equilibrium intends to provide excellent education programs to healing arts practitioners, in particular massage therapists and bodyworkers, that meet the evolving needs of the individual practitioner and the professional community as a whole, and that help to enhance the profession's world image.
