Can I get a heck yeah?!?!?!

I’m a Certified Massage Practitioner. California doesn’t even make those anymore. It means I have at least 210 hours of training in massage. That’s three months of “full time” education.

Originally I did not care about certifications. Its a VOLUNTARY California standard. Although voluntary, a lot of districts refuse to let you practice without the Cert. CMP’s are such an old standard that a lot of places will request that I be a CMT, not knowing, I still qualify.

I’ve been racking up the hours. Sometimes I would go to school with $10 in my bank account. I didn’t always have money to register with the state. I was under the impression my school kept a file on me. No, my hours, (in my imagination) were in a cardboard box, in an attic, with a woman who should be retired, might even be retired, I don’t even know.

The state has been requested by the CMP’s to create a licensure standard. This way we could work in other states. California is leaning towards 750 hours of education. As I’m sure I would be Grandfathered in, as a CMP, it’s kind of a joke.

Today I just paid my school to transfer 360 hours to the state. I think this will bring up my registered hours to about 670. This doesn’t include all my trainings but will certify me as a CMT.

I’ve never been embarrassed by my CMP title. If anything it relieves me from a lot of responsibility. I did have one person decide not to work with me because they wanted a MT. Anyone can graduate as a MT, doesn’t make you god. Thousands of hours of experience is where the magic happens.

Thank you Humboldt County, for letting me get in the practice. Thank you clients for growing with me. I couldn’t have done it without you.
