A Change for the Better at the Massage Therapy Foundation and AMTA

May 5, 2013
By

This past week the Massage Therapy Foundation announced that Gini S. Ohlson will become the new Executive Director of the organization, effective July 1.

Holiday Income

Would anyone say, “ No, Thank You!” ? It is difficult for me to imagine a time these days when anyone would turn down making additional income. During a time when many Americans are making a list and checking it twice, most of us are plotting presents for friends, colleagues, family and friends for...
