I have opened my business since August 2008 and has so far has approx. 2500 PAID CLIENTS in which I have filed my taxes and can be proven. I have also completed 288 hours of massage schooling. My reason for this email is that I think it is totally unfair for myself that I cannot use my paid clients hours to help obtain the CMT title and has to go to school and pay for more hours to qualify. When folks who DO NOT have the 250 hours requirement is allowed to show that they have performed the 1000 or 1700 paid clients through their tax return and then they will be granted the Massage Practitioner Title. In other words, they don't have to go to school to obtain the extra 150hrs but can piggy back on their Tax Return as proof and then they will get it! How is this fair to me? I CAN SHOW PROOF OF MY LICENSE AND TOTAL HOURS THROUGH MY TAX RETURN DOCUMENTS, AND SHOULD BE GRANTED THAT EXTRA 150 HRS BE ADDED ON TO MY 288 HRS WHICH I ALREADY HAVE. My point is.....why does the other folks get away with not doing any schooling to obtain the extra 150hr to be Licensed and I cannot get those hours ADDED to my hours if I show proof of the thousands of clients I have performed on which is on my Tax Documents? I would like answers to my questions please. Sincerely, Christine Sookoo I am a LICENSED and CERTIFIED Massage Practitioner in California.

I think more therapists need to get involved and protest. Apparently the AB 1822 has passed the Business, Professionals and Consumer Protection Committee by an 8-3 vote on April 20.

They are also more likely not to try and "sell" you on any particular school either. Speak to other therapists and see who they trained with.

The physiological, emotional, and spiritual rebalancing that is offered through bodywork changes how we interact with people in our daily lives. How we choose to spend our time and how we choose to treat ourselves can have dramatic impact on those around us and on our own health.
