Continuing Education

In order to first become licensed in Massage Therapy, applicants are required to complete a Board approved educational program, (consisting of 625 hours as of 2017) and pass a proctored National Exam.
​
Additional training and education courses are then required to qualify for each License Renewal.  Therapists choose from a combination of both required courses and areas of individual interest.​ Here are most of mine.
