New Hybrid Lecture Series:
Practice Matters
with Doug Jones, RCST, LMT
“Doug’s grounded, creative way of teaching sparked a curiosity in me. I went on to mentor with him for eight years. Those years of mentorship shaped not only my technical skills, but also the depth of presence and listening I bring to my sessions.
Doug embodied the principles of the work in a way that was steady, thoughtful, and profoundly respectful of the body’s innate intelligence.
Working with Doug gave me the foundation from which my entire practice has grown. His guidance continues to influence my work to this day, and I remain deeply grateful for his mentorship.”
