What Did You Do Before Massage?
I was 'jack of many trades, master of none' Started off as a pizza shop worker, then a few years as a nursing assistant. I then became a preschool teachers assistant and my last job was a school bus…

Hi Angela,
Yes, that makes sense and I will do just that. Thanks so much again for your knowledgable information!
I would have never known about any of this if it not weren't for you and this awesome community here!

Not a problem at all. One thing to ask if you do contact ACCET is whether or not the citations were for administrative or academic issues. If they tell you it was administrative, quite often the financial status is what is at question, and they may…
Hi Angela,
Thank you so much for relieving my worries. You mentioned that many times accreditation loss is due to '"something administrative-or even financial depending on the size of the school"....I believe that this is exactly what our directors…
Hi Laurie,
First I want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration that you must be feeling right now. Entering massage school, perhaps choosing that school because of the accreditation and then finding this out.
My advice-don't panic. Get the fa…
Hello all,
After entering my second quarter in school, our student body was informed that our school lost their accreditation by ACCET, an accrediting organization, whom they had been affiliated with for years.
Of course since I don't plan to be…
Thanks for the replies, guys...I can see now how much it varies from state to state. How confusing that not all states can come together to make it easier by just making it standardized to one national test all across the board.
National is not acceptable everywhere. When I moved to Hawaii, they still made me sit for their state exam. This was about 9 years ago. I don't know if that has changed. So MT's need to check every state requirement before they transfer.
In the State of Florida you have to be nationally certified. Then when transferring to Florida once natioanlly certified you have to take Florida's requried CEU's in a classroom setting which is Florida Law, Ethics, Medical errors, and HIV. It can t…
Hello,
Someone had posted a question regarding transferring to another state (Florida) after taking a National test and was inquiring as to how difficult it would be to attain the State license in that particular state. I don't see the actual post…
If you've done a good job and you can see their satisfied faces, and especially if they are a returning client, then they are usually only too happy to accomodate you.
I've never had a problem with this, nor would I bribe them to do so. You can usua…
Loved your blog Gloria on Reiki. While many massage therapists do incorporate Reiki into their massage programs, I noticed that there are far too many who are hesitant to promote this in their business. Not sure exactly what the reasons are, other t…
Thank you Kris....Your article was fantastic on how to build client relationships and how to keep them!
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I can't imagine how rough this must be for you to deal with this sudden news. I will definitely say some…
Thank you so much Kris for breaking this down for me. WOW! I feel like the light bulb just went off in my head!
Everything you said is finally making sense to me so much that I feel more in control of the things I need to do and have the direction n…
Laurie: Thanks Kris for your feedback.
Kris: Most welcome!
Laurie: I have indeed taken steps and followed through on most of the material you mentioned in your Ebook. Especially the part where you must maintain a level of professionalism...ie, n…
Hello all,
I just wanted to clarify that I'm not a therapist yet, even though I wanted to join this group so that I could be in a better position when I DO graduate. Being with professionals such as yourself and learning from all of you will help me…
