about me:

I love what my eyes sees around and I will never get tired watching those wonderful things. In my long years of living I had travel in so many places. All of those destinations are great places to enjoy our holidays and run out from the worries and stress we feel. Lucky am I given a change to experience those things not all are given an opportunity.

Self-Sabotage, or How I Got Your Clients

There are some great massage therapists in my town (other than the ones who work with me), and this isn’t directed at them. But in every town, and mine is no exception, there are massage therapists who are thriving, and massage therapists who are barely surviving…many of whom eventually give up and go back to doing whatever they used to do, or find some other way to make a living.

Sometimes, a business just doesn’t make it in spite of your best efforts.  Setbacks happen that are…

Movement and Health - Yuanji Dance

http://www.jssm.org/vol9/n1/17/v9n1-17pdf.pdf

 

In China I visited Lianhuashan, Ezhou, Hubei Sheng. This is a martial arts based retreat based on the Yuanji system handed down by generations of the Zhang family. Besides Gung Fu and Qi Gong there is a movement referred to as dance which to the Westerner appears close to Taiji. There are many moves taught in this system. While in Lianhuashan I spent several mornings…

American Massage Conference Bats 1000

spent the weekend with over 1000 massage students and therapists, plus all the great vendors and support staff in Atlanta this weekend at the inaugural American Massage Conference. I’d have to say they definitely batted 1000! A good time was had by all!

There were just too many good moments to talk about them all, so some of my personal highlights:

Teaching my exam prep class Friday and ethics on Saturday, great… Continue

Civil Discourse

Civil discourse, according to Wikipedia, is engagement in conversation intended to enhance understanding.

 

I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, when it comes to that. The good took  place recently at the MAAP meeting I attended with the folks at the NCBTMB. It was a great meeting of intelligent people who were all invited to participate in a discussion about continuing education, and not an ugly word was spoken.

 

The good was exemplified again…

My Greatest Massage Teachers Have Been Horses. Lesson 1 - Muscles Talk

I was nine years into my massage career when I decided to expand my practice and study equine massage.  I was looking to relocate to Colorado to be closer to my family and I was growing tired of missing summer days spent in a dark room lit with only a dim candle.  I was ready for a change, but I didn’t want to steer too far away from one of my true passions – massage therapy.
An idea that had been suggested to me years earlier suddenly seemed to hold the answer: equine massage. …

Regulatory Board in Wyoming?

Does anyone know about the progress or activities occurring in the state of Wyoming in  moving toward formation of a regulatory board for massage therapy?  I graduate from massage school in October 2011 and I see the essential functions of a regulatory board for our profession as crucial.  How do I help or start making a major difference in this area?

I confess…

 

I confess that I’m feeling a bit tired today; it’s been a long week and I’m worn out.  This post may be seen as just complaining...so be it. 

 

I confess that the posts here are beginning to annoy me.  Regardless of topic, there always seems to be a ‘tit for tat’ or an ‘I’m smarter than you’ discussion going on.  I’m not looking for ‘bobble-headed oh I agree’ replies, or for everyone to get along or agree with what’s posted.  I’m…
