Any time one of the major organizations in the massage field tries to fire up a project that will “advance the profession”, I get awfully suspicious. When a group of them get together to do something on the big scale, I go on full nuclear alert. That’s the case right now with a dubious...

EthicsA Betrayal of TrustBehind Closed DoorsFrom the title, you might think this blog is about The Client List, the trashy new show on the Lifetime Channel that gives massage therapy a black eye. No such luck; the event I am referring to is the upcoming Leadership Summit #2, set to take place next week in Chicago. The first Leadership... CAMTC Responds to “Money Grab” Accusations from Massage TodayLast week, Massage Today President Donald Peterson published an article entitled The CAMTC Money Grab. It cast the CAMTC in a very unfavorable light; to make a long story short, it appeared to expose excessive financial wrongdoing at the organization by stating that the CAMTC was paying the expenses and per diem for no... Inquiring Minds Want to KnowI’ve spent the past couple of weekends teaching at AMTA meetings; first in SC and this past week in Alaska. One of the classes I taught at both meetings was “Using Research to Market Your Massage Therapy Practice.” I’ve been on my research soapbox for a while now. The big question is, “Who gives... MOCC-ERYLast week, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards presented their long-awaited proposal for a new national continuing education approval program.

Then I ask them the dreaded question, “WHY do they need new... A Disgrace in IowaIowa House File 2342 has been on my radar for several weeks (initially introduced as HF 2126). Yesterday, I received a further communication on it, which stated that “the bill as written will not be brought up for consideration unless Matt Windschitl (the sponsor of the bill) requests it. The understanding is he will... Remember to tell them, I Will Always Love You
Please allow me to wax a bit poetic. On the eve of Valentine’s Day and also in the wake of a very visible entertainer, Whitney Houston’s untimely death, I am really reflecting on how important it is to live in the present moment and to tell all those we love, how much we love... E-mail Etiquette 101I’ve had a few meltdowns over e-mail in the past couple of weeks. In spite of my attendance at one of Michael Reynolds‘ brilliant presentations on how to be an e-mail ninja and have a “zero inbox,” I confess I just haven’t gotten there. And I’m wading through a field of spam. I have... | |||||||||
