The North Carolina Massage Therapists network on ning.com is a FREE community for Licensed massage therapists in North Carolina. To join, register and add your license number after your last name: Smith, LMBT #9999.

In North Carolina we don't have a state association of massage therapists. Of the three major massage therapist associations in the US, that I know of, only the AMTA has a North Carolina chapter.

Since I became a massage therapist I've felt there should be ONE North Carolina state association of massage therapists, where all professionals with a LMBT or LMT license can have a common forum, and be on common ground, whether they get their insurance through AMTA, or AMBP or IMA. Having several national membership organizations gives us choices, but doesn't give us one common ground for the profession in our state.

If you're not yet familiar with Ning.com networks, take your time. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

This is a tremendous opportunity for us as a profession to share information, questions, resources, and who knows what else.
