She said there is a lot she can do to help people take care of themselves. She uses reflexology and Trager. She said it is not massage; people don't even have to take clothes off. She said Trager is gentle manipulation that helps in oxygenating the tissue. • First session is 2 hours; then 1 or 1-112 hours for following sessions. • She works with Parkinson's and reversing Parkinson's. • By appointment only; she doesn't allow walk-ins. • She doesn't put address on business card. Committee Comments Glen Harrington stated under the regulation Trager and reflexology are both sub-disciplines of massage and do meet Board of Health requirement for body work Permit. April Dugas said she is still a licensed RN. Glen said for licensed RN, there is an exemption within the regulation so she, herself, would not need a license but her facility does need to be licensed and the Board of Health would inspect her home or area where she does the body work. April Dugas stated she has the license for the facility and her home. Glen Harrington advised that the Board of Health needs a copy of her RN license to apply the exemption. April Dugas said she will supply RN license to the Board of Health. Glen said the septic design can handle the people coming to the home. He said he has no further issue with this application.
