I sat back and asked myself if the directions made sense while I was writing it. I had doubts. Glad to hear someone was able to comprehend my first massage craft project. Hopefully more to come! Let me know how it goes for you! Yeah! I sat back and asked myself if the directions made sense while I was writing it. I had doubts.

And then I had an, "... OH!" moment where I finally got it. :) Genius! And I just happen to have lots of spare fabric to play with. Thanks for this tutorial!

Some of us have been unemployed since the economy crush and are faced with re certification and can not afford the prices of the CEUs. I feel some of us will loose our certificates with the national board. What a disappointment after working so hard to be in this profession and the love to serve others CEUs providers are giving us their expertise, but it seems like the profession does not consider situations where massage therapist don’t make money or as much as the massage schools promised.

The site does have it owns insurance, however wasnt sure if I would have to get my own, since i would be bringing clients of my own to the community. Or if its best to be under the umbrella of the salons insurance, so as to cut out any additional costs to myself. I of course have my own independent insurance (liability) but not for property, since most of my Independent work has been in-home massage of my clients home. And if in that case if it best for the salon to do the paper work for establishment license and i just pay the cost of it, since the only thing i will be responsible in paying is the rental of the room cost, without any percentage being divided up.

They can be a little confusing. Here is the general rule for massage establishments - If your client comes to you (your home, office, or room at 55 and over community), then you need a massage establishment license. Because of this, I am going to assume you already have one. If you go to your client's place (their home, apartment, or business) then you do not need one. So, yes, you likely will need to have another location added to your current establishment license, or have the place you are working at apply for an establishment license. I would assume the hair stylist does not have a massage establishment license. Another inspection will be required. You will also need to show proof of insurance on the premises (the owners should have this, or you need your own). It escapes me right now if the insurance needs to be in the name of the establishment owner. You may need to verify that with the FL Board. Does this help? Good luck! Hi Misty,

I have decided to find a more stationary place to work from. I was offered a room, in a 55 over community. Do I need to get my massage license establishment to do so. Set it up like a small business to do work from here? I spoke with the director, as they do have a hair stylist on the premises as well, who has her own business license and such, and said I could work under her. She said I would have to pass inspection. Not sure how this would work, as it is not a storefront business but inside a club.. Can you help me with any direction..

]]> Comment on Choosing Massage Liability Insurance (AMTA, ABMP, Massage Mag, etc) by Ivy Hultquist http://www.massage-therapy-blog.com/choosing-massage-liability-insurace-amta-abmp-massage-mag/#comment-4145 Ivy Hultquist Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:24:48 +0000 http://www.massage-therapy-blog.com/?p=305#comment-4145 Hi Emily, Your comment reminds me that I need to post my year end review of Massage Mag Ins (Hint - I really liked it.) Anyway... Yes, you can just not renew and move on to something new. Step one - Make your new insurance effective on the day your insurance expires, if not a little before. You do not want to have a lapse in coverage. You could very easily purchase new insurance now, and then just provide them the effective coverage date of when you want insurance to begin. Step two - Once you have confirmed coverage of your new insurance, just do not pay your renewal coverage. I do not think any of the companies have an automatic debit, so I would not think you would need to worry about that. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Take care, Ivy Hi Emily,
