I really recommend any of the articles and video's done by Greg Pitstick. He did a series of video's for the Healing Touch community that were outstanding. The video's were taken down afterwards, but…

Is it more effective to do massage for people with Parkinson's Disease during the "on times" or "off times"? I would love to hear others' experiences.

Hi Laurie!
I hate to assume, so I'll ask the obvious question: You are seeking this group as potential massage clients?
If so, I've written an E-book named Massage Marketing Using Facebook. The method explained in this book works for all social…
The purpose of this group is to invite massage educators to network and dialogue about issues related to massage therapy education and offer massage therapists an opportunity to communicate about continued education in the massage community.
Hmm. We've been divvying up the work. I've been focusing on the social media networking end of things, and my partner has been working on building the site. She's old school (html), so maybe she believes we need it. I do know that when I spoke with…
Here's the ironic fact in my life right now. I work fulltime at my "day job", and I don't want to grow a large massage practice. I'm happy with what I have, with maybe a few more regular clients. However, if I did want to grow my practice, I could d…
Actually, I'm finding that my peers are using facebook more than I would have imagined. The website, MyMotherJoinedFacebook.com is funny because facebook is no longer the exclusive domain of the young. And LinkedIn in particular is very attractive t…
I wouldn't market to this group through the social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube. I would research the medias to find where these folks congregate and market that group with spa parties, multi level mktng events, workshops or educa…

Is "social networking" working for you as a bodyworker? Tell us you success', trials, errors and share ideas!
We're having a specific issue with building our WordPress site, which we're hosting through godaddy.com. My partner has been looking in vain for the button which is supposed to activate the ftp site. Any insights? She's been using a tutorial, and th…

Profile Information
- What is your website?
- www.laurieanhealing.blogspot.com
- What was the name of your massage school/training program?
- Alexandar School of Natural Therapeutics
- Which modalities do you practice?
- Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Hot Stone, Therapeutic Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Medical Massage, Energy Work, Trager Approach
A clarification
I checked Trager Approach as one of my modalities. I must clarify, however. I am not yet a Trager Practitioner, although I am a member of the USTA, and I have completed the 2nd level of training. I hope to be so by February, 2011, assuming that all goes well. I do, however, bring every piece of training I've ever received, into my work. it would be more accurate to say that I do work inspired by Lomi Lomi, Qi Gong and Trager Mentastics.
