Wellness On The Road

I’m excited to share my next adventure with women who want to learn automotive skills for their vehicles.

You may have experienced the feeling of overwhelm when getting your vehicle serviced. My goal is to decrease this type of confusion, and increase the number of women who are saving money by doing things on their own.

One good place to start is to open up your vehicle’s owner’s manual. If you don’t have one, visit your vehicle’s brand website and download the manual for your vehicle.

For example: To find the owner manual for a2017 Nissan Frontier, see the following pictures.

Auto Tech Nerd. 😁 Cylinder Leak Testing. If you did a compression test and didn’t get good results, and wanted to narrow down the issue, the leak test is helpful. In this case the air is escaping from the oil filler tube. What does this mean?

If you said that it could be a problem with the piston rings, you would be hot on the trail. 👌🏽

When traveling, I find watching the sunset to be incredibly relaxing therapeutic and rewarding. I say relaxing because it’s a few moments where I stop what I am doing; which allows me to relax my physical body and mind.

It’s therapeutic because of taking a break from the day’s activities to soak up the golden hour’s energy of the sun setting.

Rewarding because it signals that I have lived another day. I want to add that when the colors are bright, I find it very soothing to simply focus on what is happening, right in those moments.

Is Your Massage Therapist Licensed?

You’re excited, you’ve booked a massage at a spa, and you’re looking forward to relaxing and feeling rejuvenated. It’s been a while since you treated yourself to such a luxury. The wonderful scents of essential oils, and hot towels to your back and feet, your knowledgeable therapist is ready to greet you and provide you with the best massage to loosen your tight muscles.

But is your massage therapist licensed to provide you with a quality, safe, legitimate massage? How do you know if they have the qualifications to actually touch people? How do you know if they have the proper education? Have they had a background check done, to ensure they are allowed to touch people?

One thing is for certain, if they are not licensed, they certainly do not carry liability insurance. You have to be licensed, in order to carry liability insurance. Most states, in the United States, have a licensing board that issues massage therapy licenses. The therapist must apply to the board, initially, submitting their photo, ID proving their identity, education credentials showing a minimum of 500 hours of education, (and many states require more than 500), national testing results, submit fingerprints for a background check, and pay the fees, oftentimes around $200.00.

The license is good for a 2 year period, and then must be renewed. Consumers can and should verify that their massage therapist is licensed. Injuries can happen, easily, with an unlicensed therapist, and it happens, daily.

I am a licensed massage therapist, in three states. I carry liability insurance, and I keep my business legal. I have worked with colleagues who have physically hurt me, and I later found out that they are not, in fact licensed to practice massage therapy, even though they said they were.

I learned an expensive lesson, and missed up to 3 weeks of work, because I was injured by an unlicensed massage therapist. Learn from my experience, verify the license on your state’s licensing board, before you make your appointment.

Thank you for your time.

Pretty and clean streets, Encinitas, California. This was part of my view, while walking to the auto parts store.
