The last three years and beyond …

2019

• Revised all NMT training manuals, handouts, PPT presentations

• Created Intro to NMT voice-over PPT movie to view prior to class
• Produced technique videos to augment blended learning
• Changed significant content for live classes
• Added new teaching methods
• Prepared to train new instructors and update our school program

2020

• Global pandemic uprooted every aspect of life – not just mine, but also yours and everyone we knew. Our refreshed vision for NMT was frozen in time! All seminars for 2020 were cancelled and the schools that teach our program were quickly closed, with no idea when it would be safe to open again. Gradually, the schools re-opened and carefully began the difficult process of developing safe classroom protocols. Our seminars were postponed indefinitely.

June, July 2021

• After waiting for 15 months, we hosted two St Petersburg classes, the two most difficult seminars in my 37 years of teaching. Using strong precautions, we made it through those sold out events, yet did not feel very safe, particularly since almost all had traveled to attend. Focusing solely on the safety of our participants, staff and instructors, we postponed live classes again and patiently waited, hoping for the best.

August 2021

• NMT Center and I hosted microcurrent therapy expert Shannon Goossen, who presented Neural Evaluation for Therapists, our first online live-stream event. I also attended similar classes as a participant, thereby producing a vertical learning curve for me regarding course design and numerous steps required for successful live-stream events and online CE classes with CE approval. We were very encouraged by participant feedback.

The Silver Linings

Well, I now can see some bright spots shining in these very dark clouds. First, to decrease the number of live hours in the classroom in June, I created several voice-over PPT movies to train base material, such as use of pressure bars, breathing and locomotion. Almost all participants and I agree that – for some information – this serves better than live lectures. Second, the August live-stream event took us a few steps closer to our long held goal of adding blended learning to our studies. Third, due of the pandemic, most people have become comfortable with programs like Zoom, FaceTime and Skype. Now we can more easily step into a virtual classroom for lessons, lectures and, perhaps, even for a certification exam.

2022 – We are now rebuilding our website to accommodate an online classroom, which we will implement and expand in 2022. We will add a variety of distance-learning formats to supplement our live trainings. We have many more ideas in the works – visit our website for updates.

Our 2022 seminar dates are posted to NMTCenter.com. The St Petersburg NMT classes are the only 20-hour in-person seminars confirmed at this time. If you want our NMT training in 2022, reserve your seat by registering with a $100 deposit or payment in full for any of those four events. Any balances due can now be paid at any time prior to class by logging into your online account or using a link in your registration email without having to call our office. Until the pandemic subsides, all funds are transferable or refundable should a class be postponed or cancelled. Funds are also transferable if you are unable to attend the class and give us notice prior to the start of class. If you have funds stored in our escrow account, send an email to registrations@nmtcenter.com to direct those funds into a class with available seats. To register for a class, visit https://nmtcenter.com/schedule/

I look forward to the day that we can safely be together in an in-person classroom again – hopefully, starting in March 2022. In the meantime, check our website for updates and stay safe in your daily life. May you and your family be blessed with good health!

Sincerely, with highest regards,

Judith DeLany

Director, NMT Center
