Hi Mike,

Thanks for the welcome and I am sure at some point I will have to holler for help! lol I hope to start a new and wonderful friendship online with lots of therapist and be able to help inspire others in what we all do!

Hi Mike...thanks for welcoming me when I first signed up.

Thanks, Mike.

I tend to social network in random marathons, then nothing for days or weeks, but I'm trying to be more of a regular.

Thanks for the friendly welcome!

Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here.

I went to the PHOTE button and tried browsing, and I think it was small enough but there was no add button? I don't think I was in the right spot??

Could it have something to do with the Ning Id?

Thanks...I am happy to be here.

The Bamboo sticks we are using are made with compressed Bamboo. Because thy are solid, they retain the heat longer. Actually Karen Lay is at the origin of the concept.

Hi Linda, I forwarded your comment on to Mike Hinkle. He will make contact with you about being a presenter at the festival. Have a great day.

Hi Mike,

My email is info@californiahellerworkinstitute.com. Thanks so much.

Really appreciate it, What a frustrating time it is for these clients of mine who feel completely hopeless. Thanks for your help

Hello Hinkle how are you? where you frow? i frow thailand,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the welcome. I'm a "newbie" to the field of oncology massage, but it was in caring for my mother while she was battling ovarian CA that drove me to return to school for training in massage therapy. Now, 2 years after graduating, I am starting up a business targeting persons living with cancer and their caregivers/families. I have tried approaching hospital-based out-patient chemo centers, but most are reluctant to include massage as offering to their patients, because its not covered by most insurance plans and people don't wnt to pay for services rendered out-of-pocket. I'm convinced most patients (and caregivers, too) could truly benefit from gentle massage and bodywork, but how do I market this as a viable offering???

Any advise from those further along in this process?...thanks!

Hi Mike I need all the help I can get, I am currently studying for the Nationals, just graduated in June-Marie from Philadelphia

Hello Mike,
Just wanted to check in with you before Orlando. I looked on the exhibitors list and didn't find you. When we were in NC, I thought you said you were going to be there. Am I mistaken?

Cindy

Well if one of us is not stationary, we will just have to keep a look out for one another! LOL
I look forward to having more time to talk with you. The conference in NC was a bit to busy to talk.

Hi Mike !

Mike, Oh my gosh!!!! Derf Derf! I have another problem, I am in this paper bag and cant find my way out ! Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I am humbled.
Carol

Im fresh out of school and I wanted to know on how to get started attracting new customers and where to advertise for low cost.

Thank you for the welcome! this is wonderful to have a place to share ideas and talk with others in the massage field!

Thanks! I actually joined a while ago but I haven't been on in over a month cause my computer was out of commission. It's nice to be back, tho. I love checking out all the groups, learning new things and gathering info. :)

Will do! Thanks!

Hey Mike! Thanks for adding me! I look foreward to what you can teach me!

Hi!! Thank you very much.

thanks for the info , just joined the group and i have put up some flyers and even talked to a few beford businesses about doing just that . but no bites . but will keep trying .

Thank you!

Thanx for the warm welcome.

Thank you Mike! Glad to be on here. :)

Thank you Mike for the welcome.

Hi Mike , Great to meet you. If I understand correctly you are the orgainiser of the World Massage Festival? Is there any possibility of me running an art exhibition there? Can you please advise who I should contact? Many thanks Ray

Thanks Mike! It's nice to meet you! I look forward to many discussions!

definitely!

Ooooooh. I'm soooo observant. Good question. Another good one is, why massage? One of the many reasons for me is that I was sick of "multitasking" in corporate and basically feeling like I'd accomplished nothing at the end of a mentally exhausting day. Now I don't feel mentally exhausted (sometimes a little physically tired), I'm only expected to do one massage at a time (what a concept) and there are no phones to answer while I'm giving a massage. It's lovely. Oh, and people usual look forward to seeing you and leave happy. What could be better than that?

Hello Mike!

Hi Mike, I am looking forward to getting to know you and the other members.
This looks like a very interesting concept. Actually it genius! What a great way to stay informed, inspired and continue to learn.

Thank you for the invite!

Hello Mike, thanks for the invitation. I'm a newby to the site, but a member since 2004. Looking forward to meeting and chatting!

Helo Mike. Any thougts on my question?

Hi Mike :)

It was at the end of a two week construction mission in Sucre, Bolivia.

Life is Good!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm having a look around, this is my first time here.

I appreciate the welcome -- been an ABMP member for about 7 years now.

Mike, I will check out the website, thank you for your input! Sorry to hear AMTA has not been customer friendly, I chose ABMP on a whim when I had to choose between the two associations
