Feel free to ask me questions. I have been an LMT for almost 25 years, a former school owner, curriculum writer and program director. I also offer an online Massage Review for individuals needing help with study skills, memory recall & lots of review etc.


Colleagues of mine: Ryan From Massage Nerd www.massagenerd.com
Laura Allen has a book too for review!

Good Luck Everyone!

Dawn, i took the EMBLEx in April. I looked for a good study guide and actually ordered one and returned it because it wasn't what i thought it was going to be. My best advice to you is to use the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam Content Outline as your guide. My exam closely followed the outline and the percentage breakdown was correct. So go over the topics on the outline. The exam was not as indepth as i thought it would be and there were questions that i didn't know the answers to but i passed. If you use the outline as your guide you will do just fine.

Hi group!

I am currently a student in Georgia. I have finished all of my massage classes, just have 2 classes left for my degree. I am eager to work under a professional to learn more. Any tips on how to approach business? I have cards, that say "student massage therapist" should I just pass those out?

Thanks for all your input.

Hi Felicha
Start networking as soon as you can.

Make sure you get some good continuing education classes too.

Do you have any idea where you want to work? Why type of setting?

Visit my blog:http://massagecareers.blogspot.com/
SOme helpful hints and videos I have put together.

Also Laura Allen a colleague has a great book out that she guarantees "One year to a successful practice"

It takes time to get it going, do not give up! I just heard a story from a very successful business owner about how many times it took her to get her first massage job. She was determined to work in a luxury spa. 5 interviews later her determination got her the position. Today she owns and manages several spas. Quite the success story.

I started out working with medical professionals. I had a background so that was very helpful.

Any questions, please feel free to ask me.
Much success!
