Jennifer,

Just as a heads up, it's easier to establish a practice in Phoenix. No business permits needed, you just set up shop and start working. Scottsdale, red tape, permits, fees, lost time, etc.

Not sure if they're still around (it's been a while since I've been a member), but google the Arizona Holistic Chamber of Commerce. You might be able to find someone with a room to rent there.

Good luck!

Jennifer, have you looked at craigslist and backpage? There are usually some space rental listings under the health care and also a couple of other headings.

Are you in the phoenix area? what area of town are you looking in and what price range?

I would like to invite anyone interested to join the AMMA Therapy group I have created:

AMMA Therapy(R) is a form of Asian Bodywork. More information can be found at the AMMA Therapy(R) group.

Hi Andrea,

I keep a FaceBook page, but find it hard to keep business and personal separate there. I'm told that's the point of FB... to give people a different glimpse into who you are.

I do use Twitter for both my CE seminars and my chair massage business and I also have the chair business on Linked In. I find all those easy to keep separate.

Personally, I haven't see much come from the social networking sites and for me, not sure how worth the time investment it is. But I know people who swear by them. It is certainly time-consuming, so you have to set limits I think.

I put most of my internet marketing into my website and SEO efforts to increase my Google ranking. That yields the best results for me. The only things that work better than the website for me are word of mouth and getting an article published.

Hello and thank you to all who have joined this group specifically for AZ MT's. I hope all is going well with you and am looking forward to some thoughts about what is going on in your lives or businesses.

As for me, I have been working on reconstructing my social networking pages so this has been a little time consuming. Anyone else on myspace or facebook? Or does anyone have any input/ideas/advice on the subject?

Hi! I'm not sure which AZ group was first to start but as for this one, I didn't see any others listed so I started this one. Sorry about the confusion!

Jennifer,

Call Bare Paws: 480-970-3739. The owner's name is Barry. His place used to be in Scottsdale. I just talked to him on Friday and he said he moved the business into his home, I think off Indian School. Whatever he doesn't have, he can get for you. Tell him I sent you.

HI everybody. I just joined the group and was also wondering, why there are two goups listed for AZ. I actually live in Nashville, TN, but have an AZ and TN license, because I travel at least twice a year to Phoenix (South Mountain Preserve Area) and am not sure, if I may have to relocate to AZ in the future.
Am looking forward to getting to know some people......

I used to live near the Tucson Mountains also. Tucson Estates actually. What a wonderful coincidence! I honestly think those are the prettiest mountains of all in Tucson! :)

Hi everyone,
Thanks for starting this Andrea. I'm in Tucson near the Tucson Mountains. I look forward to getting to know folks. Does anyone know why there are two AZ groups?
