​

The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747 N. Market Blvd. Ste 225, Sacramento, CA 95834 or PO Box 980818, West Sacramento, CA 95798-0818, (916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-7589.

Cheram Briggs (she/her) Cheram [“Share-rum”] has been a licensed and insured massage therapist with AMTA and CAMTC (lic #74918) since 2017. She studied Eastern and Western massage techniques at NHI in Studio City. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, Cheram mastered her techniques in sound therapy via crystal singing bowls, native flutes, chimes, and guided meditation. She specializes in medical massage therapy, sound healing, and breathwork where clients can expect visible and measurable results.

Elisa Gemme (she/her) has always been passionate about the spiritual, physical, and mental connection. At the age of 14 she was attuned to Reiki while her mom was studying to become a Reiki master. Healing runs in her family. Growing up in a household of spiritually rich teachings and awareness of the mind-body-spirit as a whole deeply influences the body work and space she holds today. Practicing what she calls “intuitive flow,” she tunes into each clients body to blissfully release tension and work deeply in the muscles. After a detailed intake she communicates with her clients to maximize benefit during each session. Elisa has been practicing massage for 17 years and is certified in deep tissue, prenatal, circulatory, and sports massage.
