I was just curious because I was looking at Vegas to possibly start an operating territory. I own a company where I advertise business for massage therapists. I send out independent contractors to companies, and individual clientele. I do have policies and procedures in place for safety. And yes, I do look for LMT's who provide mobile massage and work for themselves. I am just looking into Vegas to see if it would be a good place to start this business.

Thanks!

Body Tech Massage Spa Services. I have a team of professionals who market for LMT's. I know LMT's have a tough time marketing and need this assistance.

Do you think Vegas would be a good place to set up to advertise Ethical Massage Spa Services? We mainly advertise to travelers.

Thanks!

Hi Kris> hope you had a great vacation. Can't wait to take exam. Hopefully this will lead to licensing in PA in October. Massage here is slow hasn't caught on in all areas. I am working with a Chiropractor Part time doing about 4 masage per week..I have a friend or two who had to get out completely because thay needed a job with benefits, I work for a school district Full time so I have them. Eventually I would like to have my own practice locally or use massage as an opportunity to move.. maybe west.definitely to a warmer climate. Have a good day!

hello kris thank you for the request i just want to let you know networking is never a problem our careers depend on it I'm glad to meet you and look forward to having many discussions with you because from the stories I hear vegas is a very diffrent and exciting place to work

Kris, it is good to know someone in Vegas. I work with people that come from all over the U.S. to spend their winters here, our snowbirds. So when they head back or travel elsewhere I am asked if know anyone. Now I have one in Vegas. Please keep me in mind for any of your clients/travelers that head to the Phoenix area. Ed

Hi Kris, thank you for inviting me. I'm a RMT in rural Colorado working out of a wellness center owned by a dentist. She likes her patients to receive massage before treatment. They do not all accept the opportunity. Often the ones that do are TMJ patients. I also have my own clientele that come for massage every other week or once per month. Have a great evening. Lynn

Kris,
Thanks for the kind hello.
I went to High School in Las Vegas and my Mother taught an UNLV- Dental Chair. I am currently and instructor at Brown Mackie College in South Bend Indiana - Home of Notre Dame. I teach the Clinical part of our program and various classes. I also practice at Memorial Hospital here in South Bend working on the Oncology patients and on Special Care OB. LOVE my work and my students. Amazing that 20 years ago I was a Marketing Director for a Fortune 500 company working 60+ hours a week and quit on a dime for the opportunity to do massage. This is truly where I need, want and supposed to be. (and my Program Director here at the school is awesome too!!!) Look forward to chatting with others in the field. Best wishes.

Glad to meet you Kris, I've been an RN in Critical care for 12 yrs, have always used massage for my pain control and relaxtion. I think this will be good for my pt's, and coworkers but mainly my mother who has MS, Fibromyalgia, RA and DJD and other things that I know massage will benefit, i grad in December. If you have any tips for working with people who have fibromyalgia I would be very greatful thanks again Kris, love LV, i was last there for a critcal care conf at UNLV, but when my dad worked for IHS after retiring from Navy, and we lived in Parker AZ I made many a trips to LV, Thanks again Kris

Thanks you very much Kris. I am located in Scottsdale just east of the 101 and Raintree Dr. My phone number is 602-432-1214. My specialty is corrective massage/sports massage. I know the mechanics of the body and how the muscles work to move the body or to make the compensations necessary to move. I have worked on Pro Athletes from baseball, football, hockey, golf ,track and field, marathon runners, body builders, etc. Also work with those that have had hip replacements, knee replacements, shoulder surgeries, car accidents and of course the weekend warriors.
Please give me your phone and address so that I can refer as well.
Thanks again and looking forward to this referral network.

Hi Kris,
I think we are also friends on facebook but it is great to see a site specifically for therapists.
It will be really interesting to be looking at the different styles of treatment that we use globally to make change to the human body on so many levels.
cant wait to see if we can make some sound effective results with lots of choices in our treatment options from around the world.
Cheers
Paula

Thank you Kris for adding me.
I have been a massage therapist since the 90's. Stopped when I got my masters in teaching special education, kept up with it so I wouldn't loose touch.I was born with Epilepsy and as a kid you usualy grow out of it,I didn't and as the years went on it wasn't as bad until I hit my 30's and it really went down hil and I had to resign from teaching after 16 yrs,Dr's orders not the school.I had to have what is called a VNS put in.Easy way to find out what a VNS is go to webmd.com search VNS.Seizures are not 100% controled but I am not having as many.I found out the my certifacation was still good and went into it full time and I find that it has relaxed me I love owning my own business and the clients I had before in the 90's are now coming back to me after all these years and bring friends .Now Massage Therapy is a passion for me,and I love the way I make people feel when they exit my studio.Thank you for listening.

Hi Kris, love to network. The internet has allowed so many advantages in both knowledge and friendship it is amazing and appreciated. Nice to hear from you and look forward to future posts.

Hi Kris
Absolutely not intruding ... thanks for your message. I went to LV last Sep, its awesome! Me and my friends drove all way there from Sacramento. And Grand Canyon is breathtaking, would love to visit again when I get the chance .. Networking is great! I've been a massage therapist for 6 years and still loving every second when I walk into my work place. Keep in touch. Have a great start of your day! Cheers! .. Joanne Lee

Hello Kris,
I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Just joined this yesterday and you are my very first "friend". Thanks. I look forward to networking and sharing what we can. I have been doing massage and bodywork for 13 years. It's funny, but it's a very a solitary way of life. So happy I found this cyberspace for making connections. Be Well. Jennifer

Hi Kris!! This site is such a great way for massage therapists to share ideas. I got on here to find ideas on marketing to get more clients. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks for writing back so soon.

Hi Kris! Just like yourself I hope to learn and share ideas with other therapists. Look forward to keeping in touch. Thanks for the Welcome.

A pleasure Kris.

Hi Kris =) thank you I am new to this massage world. I have been a therapist for two years now. This is the most fun!

Hello Kris, no you are not intruding at all and thanks for accepting me into your network.

Kind regards, Arthur.

Please to meet ya! My auntie just moved to LV earlier this year, she says it's fabulous. I can't wait to visit and take in the winter. Thanks for the welcome, keep in touch!

Hi Chris, not at all intruding... I think networking across the world is a great idea! Thanks : )

Hello, Mr Kris Kelley, thanks a lot for inviting as your friend. Actually I am massager manufacturer in China. If you want to know know, please browse www.massagerbay.com

Hi Kris - thanks for the invite - no intrusion. I am a brand new therapist at the old age of 51! Still trying to figure out where to go and what to do with my license. ME pushed very hard in school - not too sure about that - but any feedback certainly welcome. How are things in Vegas? I'm originally from Los Angeles (so much time and debauchery in Vegas) but now in Knoxville TN. Jacci

Hi Kris! Thanks for the friend invite. We're facebook friends too! I love that I've found this whole online network of like minded massage therapists! I've been a solo practitioner for so long, it's wonderful finding the pulse of the massage community around the country (& globe)

Hi Kris, I am happy to network with you. In fact, I may try to friend yoy on facebook. I have been a mass. licensed massage therapist since 2008. I have just received my license to be an esthetician too. I am currently getting ready for Earl. It is downgraded to a level 1 and will hopefully just be rain in hopkintin mass.

Wow, Vegas!! Well I lived in Scottsdale AZ for a year and always wanted to drive up but never made it. So now I'm in NY.. not the city.

What kind of work do you do? We are bringing Raindrop and Hot Poultice into the Spa where I work. The owner says she received massages in LV and they were the best in the world! HA.. maybe you gave her one!!

Thanks. Talk soon!

NO intrusion at all. . . I lived in Vegas around 1980.

Hy Kris.
Nice to meet you to.
Kleber.

Nice to meet you too!

Great to meet you. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi Kris. Nice to meet you. How are things out in Vegas?

Kris, so nice of you to get in touch. We will communicate in the future. Kris, you have a nice Day, John.

Nice to meet you, Kris. What's the Vegas scene like?

thank you kris.... look forward to networking with you soon....

No your not intruding, as a matter of fact I will be in Las Vagas for my 41 birthday to visit a close friend. So send me your massage info and I will try to check out your place if you have one. Thanks, Sarah

Thanks for the welcome Kris. Would be happy to network as well. Wow, what a wonderful world to step into. I'm excited about my practice and the opportunity to help so many feel better. I'm looking to expand the modalities I can offer by continuing education. Any you might suggest would be helpful. Thanks again, and I'm glad to be here.

Awesome Info Filled page. Thanks so much. I'm sure it will help.

Thanks for the ad. I'm new at this site. I'm a student at AZ School of Massage Therapy, graduating in December. I absolutely love it. I can't believe I'm going to get paid (*well*) to do this! I have wanted to do massage for about 11 years now but always doubted myself. I finally took the plunge and couldn't be happier!

Glad to meet you too. I'm in Ontario Canada about 1/2 way between Toronto and Niagara Falls. I have owned my business for 5 1/2 years and been a Registered Massage Therapist for 4 years.
I have been busy this week with putting in 2 offers on my 4 ever home, which was not accepted. I have to play the waiting game now for now as they are not ready emotionally to sell. I'll try again in 2-3 months if it is still on the market.
In the mean time, I am about to put hardwood floors down in my 800 square feet of clinic and work at the same time. Hopefully, I will have paint and prep work done so the floors can go down the last week of October. Busy busy!
Nice to meet you! Thanks for the Welcome. Elise

Hi Kris. Nice to meet you, also. I'm in Knoxville, TN. I've been a therapist for 11 years and am looking forward to learning lots of great things on this site.
Rusty

Hi Kris. Nice to meet you, too. I'm from Sticksville, IN not really...Plymouth, IN... I am currently a student at Brown Mackie College and have a year to go. I am very excited about my career choice and to put it to use on those who need it the most. Thank you for adding me and no I did not find it intrusive.

Nice to meet you Kris. Wishing you the best in Las Vegas. I'm here in San Diego.
Looking forward to seeing what we all can learn from one another.

Hey Kris, nice to meet you. Are you an instructor? I teach in Mississippi but live in Louisiana so I have a dual license. I'm also a member of AOBTA.

Hey Kris,
Greetings from MA! Nice to hear from you! I've been practicing on a part-time basis for a number of years and enjoy hearing what others are doing. Also teach the business portion of the MT major at the community college. Always enjoy picking up tips! ~Patricia

Hi Kris, Nice to hear from you.

Hi Kris,
You are my first friend. Thanks for the welcome! I am in NC taking the morning off on a rainy fall morning. Working late and enjoying being home and being here.
