Become a Licensed Massage Therapist

Summer term left and then I can attempt to get licensed by the state … This is all provided there’s still a licensing board in Oregon by that time. There’s a chance OBMT will be suspended until further notice to help balance Oregon’s budget. Hmmm.

Anyhow, by August or September this goal could be a reality. :)

Well, two of four for my licensing anyhow. I’ll be taking another three after that to finish out the degree.

Anyway – so it’s official, 12 credits (3 classes) resulting in all A’s. I wonder if I can keep this up. We’ll see.

Quarter three starts Monday. Next up is Massage II, Clinic I, Pathology and Kinesiology III.

At last post, I had just finished finals in my 1st quarter. As an update, I scored all A’s and made the Dean’s List. :)

However, this quarter has been odd at the very least. We lost our program director (whom also was teaching a few of the classes) out of nowhere. One day he was with us and everything was fine, the next he gave his resignation – never to be seen at the college again. (I have my theories on what REALLY happened.) Anyhow, the new temp director is clearly scrambling to pull everything together, but understandably so. Regardless, it’s left the program in one heck of a scattered mess. I still intend to finish out my one year certification (finishing at the end of summer term), but will only decide to proceed with the second year if things start to fall back into order there.

Anyhow, midterms are this week and so far so good! Still on track with this goal…

I have officially finished 1st quarter as of six o’clock this evening. Finals are done and I know I passed all my classes. Here I am already eager for next quarter … my books have been purchased and perused (not just glanced at). ;)

Winter term starts Jan 5!

Mid Terms are next week for first quarter. A milestone of sorts I suppose.

I’m absolutely loving my classes still. Each day that love intensifies … almost like falling in love with a lover or child I suppose (and only as a loose comparison). Memorization of the meridians and tsubos are coming along well … but remembering their specific purposes are requiring a bit more work. :)

Classes started Monday. I’m loving them all so far. Anatomy and Function – love the class, excellent instructor, decent classmates. Prof. Ethics and Rules – again a great class, f’ing hilarious instructor, very friendly classmates! Kinesiology – right up my ally, same instructor as A&F, fun group of classmates.

So basically I have Eastern Theory left to experience and that goes down tonight. But so far I think this term is going to be one load of fun!

Classes start Monday!

I registered this morning for fall classes. Classes start in September. :) I’m excited to be on my way to both a massage license AND two year degree!

I’m hoping to start the LMT program this fall. So far, everything seems to be underway.

its a great skill to have, and something you can do on weekends/in your spare time, and isn’t the typical 9-5 job.
