SPOTLIGHT ON OSM AUTHORS

Oregon School of Massage is fortunate to have some of the area’s most talented and dedicated instructors. But did you know that a few of them are authors as well?

Marybetts Sinclair, LMT, who teaches Hydrotherapy, Pediatric Massage and the Self Care for the Upper Extremities, has authored three books. Massage for Healthier Children introduces the reader to massage as a health care tool for children of all ages. With detailed illustrations, it is easy to follow, and includes sections on massage for common discomforts and massage for children with special needs.

Pediatric Massage Therapy is directed towards students and practitioners of massage therapy. It includes much of the valuable information from Massage for Healthier Children, but also incorporates hydrotherapy techniques, case studies, and guidance on how to work with children, their parents and their doctors. It is a must-have reference book for any bodyworker wanting to incorporate pediatric massage into their practice.

Modern Hydrotherapy for the Massage Therapist is Marybetts’s most recent book. It offers clear explanations of how to incorporate hydrotherapy into massage, and demonstrates how specific treatments affect the body.

Gayle MacDonald, MS, LMT, teaches Massage for People Living with Cancer and Hospital Massage – Oncology Rotation at OSM. She is the author of Medicine Hands: Massage Therapy for People with Cancer and Massage for the Hospital Patient and Medically Frail Client. Medicine Hands: Massage Therapy for People with Cancer not only focuses on the importance of touch through all phases of cancer, but also includes special sections on massage for children with cancer and caring for the caregivers. It is an invaluable resource for anyone supporting cancer patients.

Massage for the Hospital Patient and Medically Frail Client provides a foundation for doing massage therapy in medical settings. It presents bodywork as a complementary therapy to traditional medical treatments, and covers various clinical considerations such as hospital culture, infection control practices and the relationship bodywork has to common medications, medical devices and medical procedures.

Frank Coppieters, PhD, who teaches Reiki Healing and Shamanism Today at OSM, has compiled a collection of inspired messages in a beautiful book entitled Handbook for the Evolving Heart. Sections such as Awareness and Awakening, Love and Light, and Meditation are just a few that offer spiritual guidance. Combined with mandalas by artist Simone d’Aubigné, Frank’s prayer/poems speak to anyone seeking love, peace and comfort.

Anne Williams, LMP, teaches Aromatic Body Stone and the series of spa classes at Oregon School of Massage. Her book, Spa Bodywork: A Guide for Massage Therapists, is an in-depth guide for massage therapists wanting to offer their clients spa treatments in a dry-room setting. It includes full-color photographs, sample treatments, and step-by-step guidance on delivering various spa treatments.

In addition to books, we also offer two DVDs featuring OSM instructors. Molly Verschingel, BS, LMT leads over two hours of massage therapy techniques for athletes in Sports Massage. Thirteen sessions are presented on this DVD, and offer tools for working with runners, cyclists, swimmers and more. In addition to demonstrations, information on sport psychology, diet and setting up a massage station at a sporting event is also included.

Leslie Stager, RN, LMT is featured in Mastering Pregnancy Massage. In this three-hour DVD, Leslie guides viewers through hundreds of techniques to ease the discomforts of pregnancy. With both live action and detailed 3-D graphics, this DVD is a wonderful reference tool for any LMT.

Leslie is also completing her video Mother Touch - Nurturing Touch for Birth, as well as her book on pregnancy, labor and postpartum massage. It is now available in both OSM bookstores. OSM is proud to support our community members. We carry these books and DVDs in the bookstores, and encourage all students and staff to stop in and take a look.
