Licensing and Credentials

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession, rising far above entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commitment to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

To achieve Board Certification, candidates must provide proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education. I have over 1,050 hours of professional training, and have provided thousands of hours of massage services, far exceeding the 250 hour minimum. I have passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, have passed the required comprehensive Board Certification Exam covering all aspects of professional Massage Therapy and Bodywork, have demonstrated advanced assessment, CPR, First Aid, and critical thinking skills, and maintained a commitment to excellence in the professional services I provide.

Licensed IL Massage Therapist

I have been a Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist in Illinois since this requirement was signed into law as of June, 2003. In fact, it was my honor and privilege to be one of the first 500 Licensed Therapists in the state.

Professional Member of AMTA

I have been a Professional Member of the American Massage Therapy Association for 25 years, and must maintain annual requirements of Continuing Education classes, adhere strictly to AMTA requirements of ethical standards, and maintain the operation of my business in a professional manner.  AMTA is the largest non-profit, professional association serving massage therapists, massage students and massage schools, and is the most trusted and respected name in Massage Therapy.
