Take a look at others Massage Stories

Or Share your Story Here...What brings you to the massage profession? What stories do you have to share with others about how you got here, what fears you have had and what struggles you have had on your way to becoming a massage therapist. What would you like to tell others who are thinking about becoming a massage therapist?

You can view My Story And other stories below the form

Please share your story with others about your massage school experience or massage practice/job experiences. Your readers are potential massage therapists considering massage as a profession and other professionals who are seeking ways to improve their careers.

Just fill out the following form and it will become a webpage on this site upon my approval.

It is also just as important to share stories that are less than favorable as it can help to show the massage profession more of it's shadow side and where we still need to work on issues.

Sharing your story is one way to support and improve the profession. Many others with your same issues will see your story and realize that they are not the only one or be inspired by your story.

Thanks for participating!

Filling out this form creates a new page on my website. Please share your story of being or becoming a massage therapist with others...how has it changed your life, what are your challenges, what are your successes?
I will read all submissions and approve appropriate content. If accepted, I will add a link to your site or contact information so include it in the form.
Thanks!
