And The Most Asked Question Is….?
Just back from the AMTA-NY Chapter annual convention, where I taught an ethics class and a target marketing class, my head is full of questions. I love teaching and imparting my little piece of wisdom (if you want to call it that) on others in the profession. It is an opportunity to join with... A Matter of OpinionLast week, the AFMTE released a position paper authored by Executive Director Rick Rosen, “Alliance Offers New Vision for National Certification.” The AFMTE also recently announced that it is partnering with the FSMTB in their initiative to begin approving continuing education. Both of these have attracted quite a bit of discussion on the various... Clan of the Massage Therapists
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” ~Jane Howard I am thinking back over the MA Chapter 51st Annual meeting I participated in last weekend, and in doing so, I realize that our meetings, events... My Organization is Better Than Your OrganizationThe massage profession has a plethora of organizations these days. AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) is a non-profit organization that has some executive staff at the top, a board elected by the members, and a hearty band of tireless volunteers that keep the wheels turning.

Rick Rosen, who is a former Chair of the North Carolina Board of Massage & Bodywork Therapy, former... The Utah BrouhahaI also received a lengthy and polite response from one of their officers, that stated “There is no mention of this on the Utah Chapter website. This matter has purposely not been published on our website at AMTA Utah Chapter precisely for the purposes of NOT bringing attention to the fact that the... Continuing Education Providers: Sink or SwimAs a provider myself, there are certain states I’ve never visited because of the hoops you have to jump through. New York, as I reported last year, requires a fat fee of $900 to be a provider, and a New York-licensed massage therapist has to perform the hands-on portion of any CE training. I... Baby Boomer Boys
Say that 10 times fast… it’s a tongue twister, but worth repeating. Did you know there are 78 million baby boomer men in the United States. Moreover these guys have money, controlling nearly half of the nation’s wealth. These statistics come from the latest AMTA survey released this past winter in Massage Therapy Journal. To... Here, There, and EverywhereOne of the greatest things about this profession to me is all the regional and national conventions and meetings. Glad Tidings for Massage Therapists from the World Massage FestivalThe World Massage Festival brought glad tidings to over 50 massage therapists yesterday when founder Mike Hinkle held the drawing for the Christmas in July contest, gifting all of them with free tuition to the 2011 Festival that will be held July 14-17 in at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. That's what I... |
