holistic massage diploma itec
After getting your certificate to become a massage therapist what’s the next step?
So let’s say I’ve completed almost 2 years of studying and am now a certified Massage Therapist, I have my ITEC accredited diploma in holistic massage. What now? What do I do? Do I set up a practice, do I join one, what do I do and how do I do it?
Get insurance first. The 2 most popular massage associations AMTA & ABMP offer liability insurance with their membership.
Find out what the massage regulations for your area are. Do you need a license with the city or with the state?
I’d suggest getting a massage job before starting a practice. Try out different settings like a chiropractor’s office, a spa, or chair massage in an office setting. See what you like better. The best job is the kind that pays you while you’re marketing for your own clients at the same time. If your intention is to have your own practice eventually, be mindful of your employee’s agreement. Some employers do not allow you to solicit their clients to become yours.
Good luck!
