The Texas Association for Massage therapist has been working hard and the Convention in August is going to be a great one.  The dates are August 19^th and 20^th. School is back in session the week before the convention.

We will have CE workshops on Critz Technique, Massage Therapy Business Success, Empowering the health and well being of Clients, Conscious Breathing techniques, Pharmacology and Massage along with Spa Treatment training; featuring Michael Critz, Stacey Lemire, Jason Howell, Rosario Perez-Garza and Alex Matthews.

The banquet Saturday will prove to be enlightening and an enjoyable event. We will have massage therapist speakers involved in the 2005 legislative session from all sides of the argument to educate the membership and guests on the differing agendas. Speaking will be Doug Barhorst, Lou Ellen McMillian and Alex Matthews.

The TAMT has gone through a lot of changes since its conception over 10 years ago, but one thing has remained constant; it is an association of massage therapists who are dedicated to protecting and bettering the profession while offering ideas and opportunities for the therapist to succeed.

The mission statement of TAMT is to protect, maintain and enhance the professional development, financial success, and quality of life of all Texas Registered Massage Therapists.

The TAMT’s active membership is practicing massage therapists, some with families, most want to maintain a successful practice. We volunteer our time, not for the money but for the love of the profession.  We want to give back to the community what the profession has given to us.

Massage is one of the fastest growing healthcare fields in the US and Texas is not immune to this growth.  Just like our own bodies and our own business, we may not be in total control of the changes but we can direct the changes.  We need the massage therapists in Texas to help lead massage in the direction Texas Massage Therapists want it to go in the future.

TAMT has continued to prosper through our volunteers for over 10 years.  Yes we have had little hiccups along the way, but with every hurdle we have gotten stronger and steadier in our direction.

We have a new president, Maria Solis who is steadfast in her conviction to bettering the profession and level headed in representing the membership and the massage community.  Her organizational skills and experience will move TAMT to a new level of success and professionalism

We would like to invite all to attend the convention in August, volunteer in organizing and presenting the convention and let your voice be heard about your ideas to protect, maintain and enhance the professional development, financial success, and quality of life of all Texas Registered Massage Therapists.
