Hello,

We have been promoting a campaign to serve the veteran community and veteran support organizations!  We have been running a campaign all week to give back to the veteran community!  We are asking that people nominate a veteran and or veterans support organization where we will be entering them into a drawing to win a 90 minute in home massage for the veterans and 2 hour chair massage event for veterans support organizations.  We have been sending information regarding the benefits in conjunction with Anxiety, Depression and PTSD utilizing the information given in massagetherapy.com/massage-and-its-benefits!

 

Veteran support is close to my heart and I felt very good about giving back and bringing awareness to this community in conjunction with this weeks Massage is for EVERY BODY!  Along with giving the nominee's their gift to give we are also giving back to them with gifts, discounts, and prizes!  Everyone who participates will receive something!

We have been doing this campaign via, social media, facebook, instagram, linkedin, nextdoor and reaching out to the local American Legion posts to give them an opportunity to announce this as well!

 

Thank you!

I love what I do. I love helping people and being a facilitator for their healing. It really grinds my gears when people tell me I should raise my prices. It is my belief that healthcare is a NECESSITY,  not a luxury! I’m not here to upsell products or memberships, I’m a facilitator for HEALING. Healthcare should be affordable and accessible for everyone and I will stand on that indefinitely!

Ohio Adopts Interstate Massage Compact

US Department of Education 150% Rule Update

A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction that halts the enforcement of the US Department of Education’s new Bare Minimum Rule, also known as the “100% rule,” until the court takes further action. This is the first step in what could be a lengthy battle to ultimately delay enforcement of the rule, providing schools more time to adjust their programmatic standards, or overturn the rule altogether. Find out more and what your school needs to do to prepare.

Colorado Bill Requires Local Background Checks

Governor Jared Polis signed into law House Bill 24-1371, requiring local government (counties, cities, or municipalities) to conduct periodic criminal background checks for massage establishment operators, owners, and employees.
