go to massage therapy school

I have wanted to do this for along time. So, I’m finally deciding its what I’m going to do. I just need to save up for it, or get loans.

So I’m done with actual school, hooray! Therefore I’ve decided to remove this and count it as complete :D

However, I still have to finish internship and take the national exam, oy vey! Those are sort of separate goals though and I’m just glad I’m done with school. On to studying for the big time exam!

I can still come back with an update on internship and exam info :)

I only have two more weeks of school left, and then I have about a months worth of internship. Wow…graduation on December 6th, wow…

Arg, can’t forget about the National Exam though so I probably wont be licensed until February. But I’m still almost done school :)

Well, I just finished my last massage from my first internship and am moving on to semester two of school (and afterwards will have another 25 hour internship). I’m actually a little more than half way done, but this second semester will be much more challenging I can already tell.
So far things are going super well though!

It takes a lot of time and effort and learning tons of new stuff, but if you really like massage and helping others to feel better, and yourself, then it is worth it.

I don’t think this really is my calling.

I’ve been to three classes already, so that means I decided on the Winter Intensive course. It’s 500 hours, 2 days a week for 8 hours, and we are already into hands on stuff, it’s great. I still need to buy my own lotions, and a table, then turn the extra room in our house into a homework/massage room, ha. It’s really awesome though, and I’ve made new friends too.

I will be registering soon, and I’m so freaking excited! I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I just can’t decide if I want to do the Winter Intensive program and work my butt off and get finished early, or if I want to take my time a little bit more, start in March and finish a year later. Oy vey…

I’ll be going here in about a year when I move back home. I’m so excited, I went for an orientation a while ago, and loved it, I can’t wait!

I really advise people to consider why they want to be a massage therapist. If it’s to make money you will not stay in the profession for long. I also recommend you talk to other massage therapist and find out what school involves. People think it is easy to learn and fail to realize the amount of A&P required. Other than that I think massage therapy is awesome. I absolutely love my profession and school truly changed my life.
