Jewel Ardoin teaches technology at the Louisiana Center for the Blind in Ruston and she is a massage therapist, too. When I was making trips to Ruston, I always included a treatment, she does a fantastic job and always works the kinks out. Her email is jardoin at lcb-ruston.com

Thanks!

Hi Ellen,
I need to talk to Blind Massage Therapists to get DORS to pay for some equipment for me to attend The Medix Massage Therapy School.
Can you get me in touch with anyone or put out an email looking for somebody or any suggestions?
Thank you,

Laura A Haas RN, BSN
