What Our Body-Mind Centering Insurance Covers
Body-Mind Centering insurance from MMIP provides both liability coverage and additional safeguards that provide the best all-around protection possible.
Our Body-Mind Centering Insurance Plans Provide Coverage Under the Following Areas:
General Liability Insurance: This is also known as “slip and fall” insurance because that’s a common type of accident that can cause a claim. When you open your doors and start receiving clients, you’re also opening yourself up to general liability. A client tripping over a loose front doormat and injuring themselves is an example of an event that would fall under this coverage type.
Personal & Advertising Injury Coverage: This coverage can provide financial assistance to Body-Mind Centering practitioners if they become legally obligated to pay damages from claims related to false advertising, libel, slander, or copyright infringement. For example, if a practitioner's marketing materials inadvertently include false statements that damage another person's reputation, this coverage helps with legal and financial fallout.
Professional Liability Insurance: Also called “malpractice coverage,” this protection is for the actual services you provide during a Body-Mind Centering session. If a client reports an injury, they may seek legal action to get compensation. These types of claims would fall under professional liability.
Identity Protection Plan: Today’s Body-Mind Centering therapists are exposed more than ever to the threat of a cyber incident stealing their personal data. If this occurs, our members get all the way up to $25,000 in identity restoration services.

What Is Body-Mind Centering?
Body-Mind Centering is a profound somatic practice that blends movement, touch, breath, and consciousness to explore how the body and mind are dynamically interconnected. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, this integrative approach allows massage therapists and healthcare professionals to support clients through a wide spectrum of physical and emotional healing processes.
Unlike traditional massage techniques that focus solely on muscles, Body-Mind Centering draws from anatomy, embryology, developmental movement, and cellular awareness to bring deep structural and energetic balance. It works synergistically with modalities like craniosacral therapy, full-spectrum energy medicine, and trauma-releasing exercises to facilitate lasting transformation.
Body-Mind Centering has grown into a respected modality within the holistic health and licensed healthcare professions. Practitioners may combine it with techniques such as asymmetric body balancing, structural integration, or vibrational healing massage therapy to help clients unlock physical restrictions and access emotional resilience.
From easing chronic tension to enhancing embodied movement and breathwork, Body-Mind Centering offers a versatile and intuitive approach to wellness that supports both client and practitioner in moving toward healing and wholeness.
Do I Need Body-Mind Centering Liability Insurance?
Absolutely. Carrying Body-Mind Centering liability insurance is one of the most valuable and important benefits you will invest in as a massage therapist or somatic practitioner. In fact, depending on where you practice, it may even be required by law. Each state has its own rules, and being informed and insured is important.
But liability insurance isn’t just about compliance, it’s about safeguarding your livelihood. Whether you’re using craniosacral therapy, breathwork, or energetic therapy techniques, there’s always a risk of a client claiming discomfort, emotional distress, or even injury. A comprehensive insurance policy provides peace of mind so you can focus on mind centering, movement re-education, and healing without second-guessing your safety.
Don’t leave your future to chance; get the coverage that protects you and your practice, and continue your work with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
What Should I Look for in a Body-Mind Centering Insurance Policy?
Prioritize a policy that covers both professional and general liability, including a range of services like sports massage, Swedish massage, yoga, and cosmetology. Also, look for policies offering free continuing education, member discounts, and flexible payment plans.
Our Body-Mind Centering insurance policy checks all these boxes, making sure that every aspect of your practice is protected. With our specialized insurance policy, you'll confidently focus on providing exceptional care to your clients, knowing that you have complete and tailored coverage backing your professional journey.
