Admittedly it took me over 8 years of professional practice and moving to Chicago, which required the certification for licensure, to finally obtain the NCBTMB credential. Now that I have it I intend to maintain it as long as I am practicing and teaching in the massage and bodywork industry. My next step in this process is obtaining the NCBTMB CE provider credential. Thanks for making the recertificaiton process more flexible in the past four years by accepting academic courses, college degrees and honoring the work of those of us who are making contributions to the industry through educating, curriculum development, research, community activism and authoring books and articles.

That so many hours were mandatory per year or every two years to maintain a valid liscense.
