Changing with Times

I like the idea of spa parties. They are a fun atmosphere & it is great way to share the massage experience. I never thought to take product in a ziplock bag. Great idea! Interesting blog:

Protecting female therapists from males seeking sexual services.

Its already been the subject of many discussions on here, but are there any websites specifically set up to educate new female therapists on exactley how to word their web pages to minimise this occuring.

Here in the UK we've still got therapists web pages listing home phone numbers, full home addresses, and useing wording begging the double entendre.

Thanks…

The Massage Therapy Foundation: Our Greatest Organization

If you’ve been reading my blogs for any length of time, you know that I often report on the politics of massage as well as my perceived shortcomings of some of our professional organizations.
