<p>Hello Laura,</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your post and insights, very useful. I wanted to give a little bit of insight on the human trafficking and massage issue from my perspective: Nepal is one of the new areas of real problem for this, and they estimate between 10,000 to 15,000 every * year * are victims of this. It's a result of 11 years of civil, and still no constitution or functioning government, so the predators do what they do and they take advantage. Some of our students at Himalayan…</p>
<p>Hello Laura,</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your post and insights, very useful. I wanted to give a little bit of insight on the human trafficking and massage issue from my perspective: Nepal is one of the new areas of real problem for this, and they estimate between 10,000 to 15,000 every * year * are victims of this. It's a result of 11 years of civil, and still no constitution or functioning government, so the predators do what they do and they take advantage. Some of our students at Himalayan Healers are recovering from human trafficking, and the journey they move through is profound in terms of personal healing and growth. By learning massage in a healthy, safe, respecting environment they are able to let their guards down and to touch and be touched in a healthy way. I can't tell you what a dramatic difference it makes and you can see physical changes over time, along with dramatic emotional healing and growth.</p>
<p>What I wanted to bring up in regards to human trafficking in America: the massage parlors, nail salons, and back alley locations that use "massage" signboards and services for the victims of human trafficking that they control do NOT send their women to massage schools. So... it's of course great the NCB and others bring up awareness of the issue, but... it's definitely off topic (and illogical, crazy, misguided) to think that the pimps and criminals that engage in human trafficking would risk exposure and their funds and time to send the women and children they control to a massage school to learn massage. Just wanted to share my thoughts.</p>

<p>Laura, this is somewhat off topic (yet related), but could we chat about how one might go about becoming a CE provider? Either with the NCBTMB or otherwise? If you have any info I would greatly appreciate it. :)</p>
