Professionals RECOGNIZE and RESPECT Board Certification. It symbolizes commitment, dedication, and expertise. Massage therapists who are Board Certified have gone above and beyond licensure—they have achieved more than minimum requirements. You can expect more from professionals who chose to become Board Certified.

An educator for many years, I design classes with innovative concepts and teaching strategies. Above all, though, that starts with doing what’s right for our profession. That’s why I encourage all massage therapists to become Board Certified. It is the right thing to do to advance both your career and the value of massage therapy.
