Celebrating Educators
at the ABMP
School Forum
By Jed Heneberry, ABMP Senior Director, Marketing
Massage and bodywork school owners and
educators from across the country gathered in Denver for a
weekend of inspiration, community building, and support
at the 2022 ABMP School Forum on April 22–23.
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, ABMP President
Les Sweeney and Director of Professional Education Kristin Coverly
kicked things off by welcoming attendees before Chris Smith of the
Colorado School of Healing Arts delivered the powerful keynote
presentation "Identifying Trauma in our School Communities."
Cindy Williams gave attendees a peek into Cornerstones: The
ABMP Instructor Development Program with the presentation
"Adapting to the Digital Classroom—Building the Essential Skills
of Modern Teaching." The Cornerstones program was unveiled for
the first time at the forum, and educators were excited about the new
library of online teacher-training CE courses now available for free
