Massage Therapist Training

Massage Therapist Training

What is a better career path to take in Hawaii, Dental assistant or massage therapist?

Im trying to figure out what kind of training I should take. Some people say massage therapy isnt worth while and they dont think its a good idea and some think it is….

Dental assistant.

There are hundreds of “schools” offering training to be a massage therapist and the market is so flooded that there are not enough jobs for these people to take. This creates a problem in that many work only parttime and do not make the kind of money that will enable them to support themselves.

Dental assisting on the other hand is in demand and easy to find work. Go this route!

Where can I get certified for Infant Massage Teacher Training?

I live in florida and need to get certified for infant massage….does anyone know where I can go for this cert? I am already a massage therapist.

The Loving Touch Institute has been around the longest but I am sure there are others.
