Why Choosing a Licensed and Certified Massage Therapist Matters
When you book a session with a Licensed and Certified Massage Therapist, you’re choosing someone who has met strict educational, professional, and ethical standards. Licensing isn’t just a title, it’s your assurance that your therapist is trained, qualified, and held accountable by the state.
What Licensing Really Means
Licensed Massage Therapists must complete:
A state-approved massage therapy program
Extensive academic and hands-on clinical training
A board-approved exam (MBLEx or NCBTMB)
A full background check and fingerprinting
Proof of professional liability insurance
LMTs are verified through the Department of Health Professions (DHP). You can verify my license here: LMT #0019020442.
The DHP ensures that every licensed therapist has met the state’s requirements for safe practice, proper education, and professional conduct. They also investigate consumer complaints providing you an extra layer of protection and trust.
Why This Matters for Your Body & Safety
A licensed therapist is trained in:
Real anatomy and physiology
Safe, effective massage techniques
Professional ethics and client boundaries
Evidence-based approaches to pain relief, stress reduction, and recovery
Your safety and well-being are my top priority. I renew my license every two years, maintain professional insurance, and stay committed to continuing education so I can offer you the best, most effective care possible.
Your body deserves qualified, skilled, and trustworthy hands.
Thank You
To my valued clients and future clients: Thank you for your trust and support. I appreciate every one of you!
