    Hi Mike,
    This is my first day on the site so I thought I would meet some new friends and do a little networking. I see you have a very long list of modalities that you work with. Do you have a speciality? Also any advice on a guy breaking into the biz?
  • Laura Allen

    I was just updating my Twitter and gave you several plugs. Hope you're doing well.

  • Whitney Lowe

    Sounds like a great and interesting idea. Thanks for serving it up and let's continue to see if that can work.
  • Susan G. Salvo

    I think it’s a good idea. Ironically, yesterday I was invited to become part of something called Amazon Author Central. Before I commit, I need to find out more about it. What have you heard about this?

    What might be better is a group of massage instructors. That’s usually where authors go when we have questions.
  • Susan G. Salvo

    I need some reviewers for a new pathology project I'm working on.

    How do I ask for help?

    Criteria are that they are pathology instructors at a massage school and know how to work with Track Changes.

    Are you planning on attending the Highlighting Massage in CIM Research conference next spring in Seattle? That would be a great place to get some ideas.
  • Mike Hinkle

    Oh Yea, with the BOK making their presentation and all the research that will be there, I will too. That will give us over a year to get the details worked out.

    Hi Mike-
    Most continuing ed we do in the mainland states but there are occasional weekend clinics and such down here. Licensing is required, same as most places- a series of requirements and a fee.
    Its a great place to live! Hot this time of year. ;o)

  • Lauriann Greene, CEAS

    Hi Mike - you mentioned you were looking for a booklet on self-care and injury prevention for the World Massage Festival, saying "there's not enough good information out there." Save Your Hands! 2nd Edition is used by massage schools worldwide to provide proven, research-based, effective information on self-care and injury prevention to the profession. I'm happy to give you our adsheets to put in bags at the Festival. The subject of self-care and injury prevention is way to vast, and way too important (considering that 77% of massage therapists experience symptoms or injury) to be contained in a booklet, I'm afraid. So it's important to point therapists to a reliable source of information on the subject, which is what Rick and I have created (and people like Leon Chaitow, Ben Benjamin and many school directors agree). I hope this is helpful - we want to help you get this info out as much as possible at the Festival. Let me know if there are other ways we can help.
  • Lauriann Greene, CEAS

    Thanks very much, Mike! I'm also happy to donate a book for your raffle.

    Best wishes, Lauriann
