Massage Therapy Professional Community
Building a strong massage community is one of my personal projects. As massage therapists, we work isolated in massage rooms and lack the professional support that is needed to take the massage profession to the next level. We also deal with the most delicate of issues with clients. Because clients seek us out for help with their health, it creates a power imbalance from the very start of the relationship. This imbalance is often a reflection of their early childhood upbringing and it creates the dynamics that are part of the therapeutic relationship. Participating in the massage profession is one of the best ways to become aware of yourself and share with others with the common intention of touching the world. The more you can participate, the more you will get out of your profession or potential profession. Massagetherapycareers.com is part of a greater network of sites all focused on Massage Therapy - learning massage, building a practice or finding a job. There are many ways to participate: Sign up for the The Massage Therapy Careers Newsletter that will talk about issues in the massage profession and also provide information for those considering a career in massage.
Keep learning more about becoming a massage therapist. Deciding on a career doesn't usually happen overnight. It is important to learn as much as you can so that you can make an informed decision about going to massage school and becoming a massage therapist.
And sign up to participate in my online discussion group so you can actually discuss the newsletter and whatever issues or questions that you have. |
