Your dues support our endeavors and allow them to continue to benefit you and other members, practitioners, and the general public. Remember, dues payments may be deducted by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense on your federal income tax. Certified Members who wish to be nominated for an office and/or vote, must have paid their dues.
Some of the benefits of membership in the Association include:
- Practitioner Directory Listing
- The AHSE makes available to members and the general public a list of Certified Hanna Somatic Educators throughout the world. This list is readily available by contacting the AHSE. The AHSE also actively publicizes this list, by publishing it in a variety of places, including here on the World Wide Web and in advertising in the Somatics magazine-journal.
- Our Web Site
- We are continually developing this web site for the public and members, to educate and provide support. In fact, many Certified HSE practitioner members get significant referrals simply from the Practitioner Directory on this web site. If you have any suggestions for how we can make this web site a more valuable and satisfying experience, please let us know.
- Somatics Magazine-Journal Advertising
- The AHSE has regularly published advertisements in the Somatics magazine-journal, listing Certified Hanna Somatic Education® practitioners and their contact information.
- Marketing Materials
- AHSE offers professionally produced customizable marketing and educational materials such as full color brochures and posters. There are separate materials available for both Certified and Student members - so, even while in training, you can easily get started promoting your work -- yet still distinguish yourself as fully credentialed upon certification.
- Marketing Efforts
- AHSE works to educate the general public as well as relevant professionals about HSE and the work its members do. Among other things, we present educational workshops and produce literature and work for magazines, journals, etc.
