Seasons Greetings!

Hello, Everyone.

Sometimes it seems as if we are so busy that we forget the important, everyday things.  It can be hard to take the time to tell those you love how you feel or to remember to be grateful for the routine things in our lives. 

This may seem a strange forum to share these thoughts, but the NCBTMB would not be here without the many practitioners and affiliated individuals who wish for the profession to continue to grow in respect and who wish to see practitioners acknowledged for the services and skills they offer to individuals across the globe.  We are here because of you.

I am not a massage therapist, but I am proud and thankful to be a massage client.  I can attest to the difference massage therapy has brought to my life.  My massage therapist kept me walking through two pregnancies when I had had to use a walker or cane for the previous two pregnancies (before I found the wonderful Carla – thanks!!).  An old back injury sometimes makes me walk crookedly, and massage provides relief and helps me to return to ‘normal’.

So… thank you for doing what you do.

Since this is the Advanced Certification blog, let me add in a little update.  The data from the Needs Assessment survey is currently being collated and reviewed for accuracy by an independent psychometric consultant.

Have a wonderful winter holiday season, and rest assured that we are keeping busy and continuing to work on the advanced credential.
