Introduction:

I'm new to the group. While I don't live in Massachusetts, I'm interested in keeping in touch and sharing information. I have a friend whose father is living in Yarmouth Point in a beautiful retirement community called Heatherwood and I'll be visiting in May.

My previous Massachusetts connection was in the early 90s, when I visit Kripalu in Lenox and attended an "Awakening the Inner Healer" workshop. I remember how beautiful the Spring daffodils were at Kripalu.

Thanks to Lisa for creating such a wonderful community of Massachusetts massage therapists and friends.

I have a client from Boston who is looking for a massage therapist and a yoga instructor in the Boston area. He's has hip replacement surgery and would appreciate ongoing care. If you know of anyone who might be interested and available, please send a resume and URL to http://www.arianainstitute.com/contact.htm  Thanks.

The board tabled the discussion on clinical hours in order to have time to do some research on insurance issues.

I agree with Alexi..currently the sate require's CEU's but the board of registration for massage therapy has yet to define the standards for how many CEU's or for what the approval prrocess will be for CEU's or for how people will document their CEU's.  If you check the regulations none of these things have been developed.  Not sure why Bancroft is having people sign a form (especially without seeing what the form is) but at present there is no requirement with the massage board to send in paperwork for CEU's.  At present schools like Spa Tech Institute and Bancroft do need to get CEU courses approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education and get the instructors approved in order to be able to offer  the classes but this is seperate from the massage board.  As a school director for Spa Tech Institute in Westborough, i can tell you that there is no current requirement for schools to be sending forms about people who attended CEU classes to the Massage Board.  I would suggest that you can double check with Bancroft but most likely whatever they had you sign was for their internal record keeping  until such time that the Board develops specific policies and procedures for CEU's
