Become a Massage Therapist.
Are you thinking that you want to become a
massage therapist?
Massage Therapy is a 11-14 billion dollar
industry according to the two leading massage associations.
With such an increase in massage in the world, massage
therapists are in demand. Massage therapists are being
hired by spas, clinics, hospitals, sports teams, doctors and
dentists. Most massage therapists start their own
business which brings much more freedom and also is much more
rewarding.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I
recommend that you thoroughly research the field to see if it is
a good match for you.
Some of the things that you will need to
find out about a career in massage are:
- How much can you really make as a
massage therapist?
- Where can you find a job in massage
in your area?
- Do you want to start your own massage
business?
- What's the best massage school?
- What will you have to learn in
massage school?
- What does it take to be successful in
the massage profession?
- What does it mean to help others?
- What you need to know about massage
schools.
- How to choose the massage school that
best suits your needs
I have written the "Massage Therapy
Career Guide: The Truth About Becoming a Massage Therapist"
after 20 years working in the massage profession.
Understanding what the massage profession is really about will
help you to be ahead of most of the therapists just starting out
and will help you to be more successful when you open your own
massage business or create your own job in massage.
How much you can make in a career in
massage really depends on you - your commitment to the
profession, your ability to create what you want in your life
and your passion for massage, health and healing.
Working with others requires that you take your own self growth
process seriously. It also involves learning that you can be in
a very rewarding profession working with people and make a
decent living too!

I am writing this after 20 years of making
a living as a massage therapist in Seattle WA. Through the
years I have seen many massage therapists come and go - some
that I have even personally recommended going to massage school.
When I first started there were very few jobs and doing massage
was more about a lifestyle than making a living. As more
massage therapists have entered the market, it makes massage
therapists take their massage business more seriously and see it
as a business - not a part of themselves.
Being a massage therapist can still be a
very rewarding and successful career when you go into it being
fully prepared and informed. You can do so when you
purchase the "Massage Therapy Career Guide - The Truth about
becoming a massage therapist" now in it's 4th edition since
2002. I constantly am updating the information based on
feedback from my readers.
