needing assistance!!! if you could help...

Hey! I'm new to this forum... I'm actually here to get peoples thoughts on my most recent lifestyle change... I graduated from my massage program back in 02 and did massage for about a year but I was young and stupid on MANY levels and left the profession for nannying, and decided to go back to school to get my bachelors in psychology but recently I have been pulled back into massage for its great healing abilities and think that thats where my future lays... the problem is I live in a state that requires the NCETMB which is fine I can study my butt off for that, I do feel that I am a bit rusty massage techniques wise and of course most every other area as well... and wondered what everyone thought would be the best way to re-acclimate myself to the profession... any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!!

Massage videos/dvds and people to practice on. Massage free with feedback including "what is one thing that could have been better?"

I'd also find a massage school that provides a prep-course for the exam. This can help you in more ways than just "re-acclimating" to massage. You may want to see if someone at a massage school in your area will give you a two week tutorial or some such.

You could re-enroll in massage school. Some of it would be review, some of it would be brand-new. It would certainly help you re-launch a career that you haven't practiced in 8 years.
