I've just joined, and am still a student. I have a nursing home directly across the street, and don't know what I don't know. What should I expect, hire in as an employee/contract with my own business, how much to charge, and is it difficult to collect money from them/how do they typically pay?

I know this isn't anywhere near Michigan but I took a wonderful course in Santa Monica CA, The Heart Touch Project (http://www.hearttouch.org) Wonderful people! I work as a LMT volunteer in hospice and haven't had a Alzheimer's client as yet but want to learn more. I will be sure to keep reading the info here! Thank you!

At this time we don't have a course scheduled in the great state of Michigan. The year is young! It would be great if you could join me in Chicago in April. I'm somewhat familiar with Indian head massage. The beauty of Compassionate Touch is that we each bring our gifts and talents to the work. Take good care, Ann
