FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes! I'm required by the state of Maryland to have 24 continuing education credits (hours) every two years. 18 can be in whatever I like (Reflexology or Stone Therapy Massage, for example). Three need to be in ethics and the last three need to be about communicable disease, including HIV/AIDS. I'm also required to be CPR/first aid certified at all times.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Go with your gut. If you get a sense of ease when you speak to a potential massage therapist, it's probably a good sign. Also, don't be afraid to speak up regarding what you like and don't like, if the pressure is too deep or not enough, if you are hot or cold, don't like the music, etc. If your MT is getting annoyed or offended, it's time to find another. Good MTs _want_ to know these things and make them right.
