Message: I just wanted to write and thank you for your frank words on B.C.\'s crazy laws about who may be called a Massage \"Therapist\". I have been working on people since I was 5 and have been a Registered Massage Therapist in Edmonton, AB and in England over the past 8 years. As I have just moved to B.C. a week ago and realized that I am no longer acknowledge here as a Massage Therapist I am having a huge personal identity crisis. The very thing I was so proud of being seems to feel like it\'s been stripped from me because of the laws here. I\'ve been know as Christa Alyssa Kidd the Massage Therapist and now I don\'t know what to call myself and feel ashamed because of my 800 hour massage course I took that just doesn\'t match up to their 3000 hours. I know that the hours of schooling taken will never make a Massage Therapist. It is in you or it\'s not. I truly feel that having the ability to intuitively understand another persons body and touch and help balance them doesn\'t
even come from a school. Techniques learned in Massage schools are very benefitial but you are very very very right, massage is as old as the world is. It\'s very sad that so many good Massage Therapists cannot be acknowledge due to legislation.
On a side note I am looking for work and trying to find my place here. If you can help point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Also if there is anything that I can do to support your school in anyway please don\'t hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Christa Alyssa Kidd
