Massage Therapy Careers are one of the up and coming careers of 2011 with expansive growth expected in the next 5 years. As a massage therapist since 1987, I have found the career to be very rewarding yet very challenging. The demands of building a business and of finding high paying jobs are constantly on most massage therapists minds.
Through the many years of doing massage, I have found that it isn't so much about helping others as it is about taking care of myself. I learned that the hard way through experiencing many health challenges and burnout from helping too much and not making enough money for doing just that. As a result of my burnout, I started writing and creating websites for the massage profession. My first website - www.thebodyworker.com is just a collection of my notes from massage school. I had started collecting information to try to create an apprenticeship program, but never went through with the program. The result was putting all the info into a website.
As I learned more about writing and creating websites, I found that I could share my knowledge and story with other massage therapists and help others who are just starting out in thinking about becoming a massage therapist. My website - www.massage-career-guides.com is a resource for those who are just thinking about careers in massage. I provide my insights on careers in massage to help provide information for those researching careers. When you go into a career with more information, you will be much better prepared to deal with the many challenges.
My website www.massagepracticebuilder.com will help you when you graduate and are working on building your massage business. It is my belief that building a business is just really gettting clear about what you want and taking inspired action toward making that happen. Massage businesses often struggle due to issues of integrity between the owners values and the work that is being done. The process of becoming more aware and taking the steps to align your values with your business is a difficult path yet will help you to create a more rewarding business both financially and emotionally.
The work of being a massage therapist is also so physically demanding, it is important to create additional streams of income through whatever methods you can find. Creating websites is my route. Just by writing and collecting information, I am able to have income on every day of the week and even when I am doing massage. I have created a website on how to create content rich websites for income and fun! <a href="http://www.guidetomakingwebsites.com">www.guidetomakingwebsites.com</a> provides all the things you will need to know about making income online with a website.
I look forward to connecting with you!
