I am curious on how other massage therapists get along who are working while pregnant. I am 5 months pregnant, and feel great. I hope to work for as long as I can. I am worried I will loose clients when I take maternity leave, I am also worried about how I am going to be feeling in a few months, I would like to carry on working despite how big I will be. Any thoughts on this?  

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Steve Kirin, the new CEO of the NCBTMB. This is the interview I did with him. 

1. You were just appointed CEO in May, but you’ve been on board for a year and a half. What do you see as the major challenges facing the NCBTMB at this time?…

I was very shocked to find that Robert King has passed away. I met him at the AMTA National in Texas in 1989, when he was Prez.  A wonderful man who was very kind and a great motivator!  I ran into him at other AMTA events in California and took a weekend seminar from him. He always remember that I was the 7000th person to join the AMTA. The massage world has lost another icon and he will be missed.

Godspeed Robert.

I just returned from attending the fourth annual meeting of the Alliance for Massage Therapy Education, held this year in St. Charles, MO. I’m a founding member of this organization, and once again, it was a fabulous event. I would have to say that this was the best one in the history of the organization. Kudos to Cherie Sohnen-Moe, who has spent the last year organizing the event, along with the other board members–all volunteers, I might add. This is the kind of thing that can’t be pulled…
