Hi Noreen,
The following is from the Michigan Legislative Updates posted in the ABMP Members section on www.ABMP.com. Licensing has yet to go in effect, but when it does, here's what grandfathering will look like:

ABMP will be hosting its 14th Annual School Issues Forum April 22-24, 2010 in Alexandria, VA at The Westin Alexandria. The ABMP School Forum is tailored specifically to owners, directors, and key members of the massage and bodywork school team.
Hi Michael,
You may want to post this topic on the forum. It may generate more dialog there than in blog format, as I know many people are very curious about this.
Lara
Lots of great information about "Becoming a Massage Therapist," including how to choose a school and what you can expect (salary, hours, etc) from the profession: http://www.massagetherapy.com/careers/index.php
The WMF is an annual event that travels around the world with this mission: honor those who built the bridges for our profession, educate the general public about massage, educate therapists about different types of massage and have fun. Join us!

I have a question. Did you design the functioning of the group pages? I think it is attributed to you. Wonderful in so many ways. :)

Can this be made easier to follow???
Thank you for all that you have done with these wonderful groups!

Lara--I just wanted to say thank you for developing this site. It is really amazing! I have seen so many wonderful discussions going on and have loved browsing, connecting, and reading. I shared the website with one of my chiropractic authors who is very involved in online offerings for that discipline; he loves it and is now excited to suggest something similar to the chiropractic community. Thank you, Lara!
Hi Lara! I was told you could help me with uploading a picture. I am having a little trouble with that. After I browse for a picture, it does not change the picture, any idea how to fix that?
Lara, I have just joined massage and bodywork professionals. I am an LMT but specialize in The Bowen Technique and ABMP accepted that before I became an LMT as reason to insure me. Why is the Bowen Technique not listed as one of the modalities, other bodyworks other than massage are listed. I have found the Bowen Technique very effective and especially with clients with serious problems.
