Traveling and International Professional Massage Training
Let's meet and directly exchange our professional experiences
My name is Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush. In my professional life as a certified massage therapist and health promotor, over three decades, practice was always the most important thing. But apart from professional practice, both in my country and abroad, during meetings while traveling, also were very important: direct exchange of professional experience, participating in conferences or leading training, workshops, etc.
And during my private trips, also meeting other practitioners, because of my sociological, and cultural interests and learning about the status of massage in different countries.
My specific program is also available for those interested, but people and meetings with them are the most important. For obvious reasons, I am also interested in practice and situation of people with visual impairments. But this is an additional topic. And one more aspect, my musical hobby. (...)
I trust that someday, however we will meet along the way. (...)
New challenges and program, in 2024: workshops and courses.
My idea of international training and traveling project MT Massage Therapist, since 1997, is related with exchanging professional experiences, and directly relations with practitioners. This program has two levels: one-day workshops and weekend or longer courses. For professionals and those who are learning massage, Spa practitioners or body work trends. Also for visually impaired.

My additional hobby:
Music, video, projects, audio podcasts, Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush.
I used to play, but the guitar is not conducive to my profession because of the fingertips, especially if you often work with a human face. So the music stays on the weekends. A few years ago, before the next presentation at the conference, I was thinking what kind of background music should be used to convey the message and I thought: Why not my own music?
I went to small, recording studio and played some of my own compositions live, backing tracks, miniatures, impressions, that was the spontaneous goal. The owner of the studio asked me: Should I work with these recordings, improve them, etc? I thanked him and asked him to stay that way, live, without corrections.
A year ago I returned to playing and recording as a hobby, in a similar way, live music, without corrections, but as much as I am able on a recorder. And so I returned to my hobby. But there are more and more questions: What is this music that I use sometimes, and who is this Peter Brush? Exactly. So Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush. A few of my projects below, guitar, flutes, etc, have a nice listening experience. (...)
