Hi Everyone, It's nice to be in a community of my colleagues! I've just recently looked out beyond total focus of working in my practice and the 4 year development of Kinessage® Massage Through Movement to come into the world of social media. What a different world! With regard to someone's previous comment, although I can see the benefits of Facebook when used to its potential, I have to say, it feels MUCH better here.

I thought my purpose was to be the most effective therapist I could be, and I have figured out a smarter way to work to save my body and energy while being kind and really effective for my clients. But it seems the Universe has a broader plan in mind - to share it with my colleagues -to give care to other caregivers. So I'm now here I am teaching it, and I do have a class Monday, June 28th.

But first, I just want to connect and find out what is going on with other therapists. How is your practice going? What are your top three challenges in business now? How do you decide what continuing education you take?

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, and I look forward to getting to know you better. Namaste, Kathleen

Aloha Andrea - Lomi lomi is an ancient and very sacred form of massage. The style tought by Tom Cochran is considered the origional "Temple Style" as performed by Shaman and Kahunas in Hawaiian temples. I found that I use the techiques in nearly all massages I perform now. Hope you can make it.

Thanks Steve for the info! I understand that there is MUCH more to Lomi Lomi massage than most people think. I would love to check that out!

Hi Everyone - I just wanted to let everyone know that a four day Lomi Lomi training course with Tom Cochran and Sacred Lomi is coming to Tempe, AZ in March 2010. The training it immediately proceeding the Aloha Festival in Tempe so if you can get the time off you can attend both and really get into the Hawaiian spirit. I attended this training twice and really learned alot. Read about the training and details.

Brian,

Far as I know, Chandler has no provisional license. I was told quite emphatically that I was not permitted to practice in the space until the permit was issued. The clerk's tone was pretty menacing too. I was handed some information about the various penalties should I attempt to start practicing (fines to jail time, no joke). I decided not to test it.

What I meant in terms of state licensure improving things at the municiple level is that I'd like to think state licensure might eventually "raise our image" at the municiple level, that we might be seen as professionals (which I don't think we are now, at least not with my experiences in Scottsdale and Chandler). Most of these archaic laws are reflections of the prostitituion laws.... they lumped us into that catagory long ago and we've not dug ourselves out yet. Again, coming from NY, where LMTs are treated quite differently within local and state government (most obvious example is we are not fingerprinted), it was a real rude awakening to me coming out here. I'd like to think state licensure could be the first step to enlightening people at the municiple level. Obviously still miles to go.... I like to dream though....

As far as the parlors, back on Long Island we had a task force. They want to clean up the illegitmate places? Best way is to organize a pack of LMTs to get on it. We worked with the police force as a rule and things got cleaned up. Somehow it doesn't work that way here. When we reported the problem in Scottsdale, we were told we had no proof and "must be jealous because they other place was busier."

Maria,

Never believe the realtor or owner of a space. They generally don't know, and once you've signed the lease, you're liable for it even if you find out later that a license was required and can't get one.

The salons are good as long as the major source of business is not massage. Medical facilities are generally no zoned c (which is commercial) although you might find a PT office in a c zoned location.

Why were you not able to get a provisional license in Chandler? That sucks. I would have been working in my space if I was paying rent wether I had the license or not. But I'm just kinda rude that I guess. You're right, there are alot of odd laws and that will not change.

When the state licensure was set up, it was decided that the cities will always control the facility licensure because it is their jurisdiction.

The parlors are all over the valley. Mesa was apparently really easy to set up in because they have an over abundance of them although I saw on the news last week that they started to crack down on them.
