actually you do not have to be licensed in each state.  and it actually differs from city to city.  for example i live in fairfield/suisun.  they are so close they are practically the same city.  however you have to be nationally certified to work as a massage therapist in fairfield, but all you have to do to work as a massage therapist in suisun is go down to city hall and buy a business license.

For the most part, massage therapists arent salaried.  They get a percentage of the fee the client is paying. On the low end it is usually 50/50.  ok is 60/40.  If you can get 70/30 you are doing pretty good.  The problem isnt the money.....the challenge is getting the clients.  Once you can overcome that...you are home free.

You can usually get a massage at a reduced rate if you go to a local massage school for a student massage. It may be half of what you would pay a licensed therapist, but you can't replace the value of experience.

If you have already finished the course or are about to finish it, then you have done well.  I understand it is one of the most difficult certificate programs to complete!  Congratulations!\n\nThere is a big market for massage therapists, although they are getting to be more prevalent than they once were.  You may want to have connections with a clinic or hospital, in so much as it would be nice to have a referral from them to help you as you build your business.  You may want to offer free massages to counselors and others who might want to offer referrals to their clients.\n\nI wish you well.

Just go to the school that you graduated from and ask for a copy.  You will have to pay a small fee.

Nope..all you need is the cosmotology license.  I wouldn't waste my time or money on the bachelor's degree because really it isn't going to help you.  I would however shadow someone who owns a business like you wish to open to see how they run thiers.

do you have your massage therapist liense? If you do then you also need to get a form of teaching degree. Ask your a massage instructor how they got to be a teacher.

I'm not sure where you are in the world, so I can only go based upon my knowledge of laws pertaining to where I live.  Here in my part of the USA, 640 hours of training, plus graduation from a nationally accredited school, plus successful completion of the NMTA Board examination, are necessary before legally performing any type of massage therapy for compensation.  The laws may vary where you are, so I would encourage you to search for licensing information in your state/principality/country/etc.

you do not have to be an MD, but you do have to go to school.  My mom is an acupuncturist and I watched her attend classes, take exams, etc.  It's hard work, but if it's what you want to do, it's worth it.

no, you can get certified without a college degree, but you do need to take classes

Hey!  I just graduated massage therapy school here in Ohio , and I will be taking the state medical board exam in June, since massage is regulated by the state medical board here.  Once licensed, I will be going into private practice and my income will be $55 - $60 per hour, which after taxes is still good money.  I have never been so happy either - massage is a great field to get into with tons of opportunities for employment.  If you enjoy caring for people I strongly recommend a career in massage therapy!  If you wanna talk or need anything massage related just e-mail me!  Good luck!

Probably not in a legal sense but don't belive in magic. There's no substitute for a real education. Any respectable employer will check what education you have.\nYou want a univesity diploma go to respectable university. Most big universities have distance learning programs if you don't have time for classes.

there is an option to give the exam privately, without going to school. However, u need to contact a recognised school for the same. They can help u.

www.spawish.com\n\nyou can buy gift certificates that participating massage parlors accept, so she can look up packages online and can choose for herself. it's a nationwide thing, also...so i'm sure there are a few places in your area.
