Kentucky Massage Championship

I recently asked ChatGPT what the massage profession is lacking, and one of the most significant gaps it identified was Insufficient Continuing Education Pathways. This is especially true in rural states like Kentucky, where therapists often struggle to access:

Affordable continuing education

Trauma‑informed training

Advanced modalities

Peer mentorship and professional community

Now pause and consider this: What could participating in a massage championship do for our profession as a whole?

Events like the Kentucky Massage Championship don’t just showcase skill—they create community, mentorship, visibility, and pride. They bring therapists together, inspire growth, and open doors to education and collaboration that many practitioners would never otherwise experience.

Help Us Bring Healing Education to Every Corner of Kentucky

📌 The Problem
Massage therapists in Kentucky—especially in rural and underserved areas—face a critical shortage of accessible, hands-on continuing education. Without affordable training, therapists struggle to meet licensure requirements, deepen their skills, and provide trauma-informed care to their communities.
