- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Continuing education is a constant for me as a Massage therapist. By law, I must keep my CPR AED card up-to-date. Recently, I completed the following courses: ETHICS FOR THE MASSAGE PROFESSIONAL (certificate of completion); THE TOP TEN PAIN RELEASERS (Certificate of Attendance); Last year, I became a Certified Geriatric Massage Therapist. PA law mandates massage therapist to obtain 24 CEU credits every 2 years. I am currently studying Palliative Massage. i will pursue further training in Reflexology, Myofascial Release and cranial-sacral modalities in the near future. My professional organization is the American Massage Therapist Assn (AMTA). They provide abundant resources to help massage therapists build, maintain and improve our practices. I also maintain subscriptions to AMTA Massage Therapy Journal, as well as Massage Magazine. Also, I regularly do research online.This enables me to maitain an eye on the latest developments and research.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
As a martial artist, I have a practical knowledge and intimate hands-on experience with the physiology of our bodies. Our bodies have the ability to sustain our life, provide us locomotion and make possible a quality of life. This is simply the miracle of life and living. It is also something we tend to take for granted until something seems to go wrong. I use Massage to help maintain client physiology in an optimal state to provide greater quality of life.
