to educate therapists about different types of massage and to have fun.
Welcome To The World Massage Festival
WHAT IS IT?
It is time for Massage Therapists and Professional Bodywork Artists to feel good about what they do and have a platform from which to showcase their talents - now they can and do, in the form of the World Massage Festival, to be held annually at sites to be determined.
It is a job fair for those considering massage therapy as a profession and a showcase for the community at large to see various types of massage therapy. There will be a timeline and explanation of massage from 3000 BC to present. Continuing education for therapists - CE Workshops will be available. It is an introduction of the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame honoring the inventors and instructors of various types of massage. The Festival is an opportunity for therapists to network with and learn from other therapists, massage business suppliers, schools and professional associations.
The concept was developed in 2006, when Mike Hinkle, owner of Pensacola Massage Center and Founder of the Festival, dreamed up the idea and set the mission statement into action.
WHERE IS IT?
T-Bar-M Resort & Conference Center, 2549 Highway 46 West, New Braunfels, Texas, 1-800-292-5469. New Braunfels is about halfway between Austin & San Antonio.
