I have received the following from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards. I personally think they are far off the mark on what they intend to do with continuing education, and with their refusal to consider any joint effort with the NCBTMB to organize and streamline the approval process for the good of...

MOCC-ERY ReduxYou Can’t Buy Ethics
I rarely mix my personal life with business but today’s situation warrants a post. My husband came home with a lot of cash today. He is a freelance boat captain and had just completed a delivery up the east coast. Upon presentation of his invoice, his client peeled off several thousand dollars in cash for... Be More! Business-Minded Opportunities for Massage Therapists
Post by new guest blogger Steph Lasch, LMT, CFT This is my first blog entry for the WIBB. I’m truly excited to be providing quality content here and talking about some of the things I’m passionate about, besides being a massage therapist. I love talking about business, finance and operations in the spa &... MOCC-ERYLast week, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards presented their long-awaited proposal for a new national continuing education approval program.

I must admit that country music is not my favorite music genre, but in 1978 the Kenny Rogers’ version of The Gambler hit the charts and the chorus of that song has stayed with me for 34 years! If you’re gonna play the game, boy You gotta learn to play it right You’ve got... Selling Yourself Short
What is wrong with the following statement? FIRE!!!! Ready…aim. It seems silly, counter intuitive and even dangerous to get such important steps this badly out of order. You would not do it with a rifle, why would you do it with your business? Sometimes we are faced with making decisions quickly in business, sometimes... “Ownership” of ClientsIf you’re an employer of massage therapists, or you are a massage therapist who’s is employed by someone else, who “owns” the client? The short answer is, no one. People have the right to go where they choose, and to patronize whatever massage therapist they choose to patronize. The long answer is a little... Report from the AFMTE Annual MeetingI’ve just returned from the second annual meeting of the Alliance for Massage Therapy Education in Charleston, SC. It was an excellent gathering from start to finish. There were keynote speakers throughout the weekend, daily opportunities for those present to give input into the initiative on teacher standards the Alliance is undertaking, informative continuing... Hotel SecurityOn June 28, 2011 I posted a blog on Hotel Insecurity. That post addressed the issue of the high percentage of sexual harassment in the hotel industry. On the Body_Work Professional Discussion Forum, Toni Roberts posted a great commentary about the Newsweek article. She gave me permission to adapt it and share it with... |
