I am starting a list of massage modalities that I would like to be certified in. In order to keep my licence and be ok with the massage board. I will need to have 24 CEU's every two years . I get these by taking a course in another modality. If any of you know of any massages that are not on my list here, and would love to mention them and give a bit of information about them. That would be freaking awesome!! Please feel free to ask any quesitons about the ones I have posted also.

How about .....

Aromatherapy massage: Essential oils from plants are massaged into the skin to enhance the healing and relaxing effects of massage. Essential oils are believed to have a powerful effect on mood by stimulating two structures deep in the brain known to store emotions and memory

Or

Shiatsu: Gentle finger and hand pressure are applied to specific points on the body to relieve pain and enhance the flow of energy (known as qi) through the body's energy pathways (called meridians).

And...

At my job they do compassionate touch massage which is designed specifically for the elderly and those who are dying. (I know it is not exactly a fun prospect but it is fantastic for those people). It is very focused, sensitive, and a good certification to have.

I have intro's to both. I am allowed to use only a little bit of aromatherapy. But It will take a 7 year class to get me certified to actually use it properly.

7 years is a long time but that would be so interesting!
