We advocate for the issues important to massage therapists across the country at the federal, state and local levels of government.

The website needs improvement. The site lags and forces you only one payment option. It will not let you make monthly payments, it will not allow you to make two separate payments. When trying to renew liability insurance, while providing what looks to be other options, you are forced to pay the entire annual fee upfront.

I mainly joined for the CEU credits. The courses seem geared to brand new therapists or just a "click through quickly courses". It seem most courses were created in chatgpt.

I renewed my license this year, and for the first time in four years decided to express my discomfort as an honest and reliable MALE-straight Massage Therapist. Evil business as Massage Envy and Lisa Taranto, have fired me illegally: I went to Abrahamson Legal Group; Legal Corner, and recently CA Human Rights, and no one believes my testimony: I am Not perfect, but my only defect is apply the same moral values I learnt in public schools, and from home: Looking clients, employees to the eye (but women think I am looking her upper intimate parts), promote human and professional touch through a real and responsible massage session; study other fields as Level 1 of Tibetan Reiki, MBLEX, kinesiology tape use, etc... AMTA operator by email replied they CAN NOT HELP, but referred me to CA Employment Dept. I think. The operator said she was going to mail physically some forms to start a formal complain against LISA TARANTO AND INDIO SPA; but the forms NEVER came. All AMTA should do is protect more male honest therapist, by following up emails like this. AMTA: Do you want my money every two years, right? Well, when I needed you, YOU transferred me to irresponsible people that maybe work for Massage Envy and Evil Lisa Taranto. Please follow up these interactions in your platform and treat me and my money and time with respect and dignity in the next year and a half...GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

In February,I was trying to renew my insurance in on-line AMTA, after several efforts in February and March,I still don't get it, why I can't renew my insurance as easy as DMV?

If full active with Massage Therapy Association can be lots of information but still feels like more work to be a part of than easy supplemental income with natural alignment inside our holistic lifestyle. A simple national/international license to work naturally when manifest with word contacts could be ever so appreciative still to balance out the sterile professional only standards. Gratitude for caring about our profession and the vast developments inside of it!

To be honest, I expect the AMTA to be lenient on LMT during Covid, yet we were still made to pay fees to the organization when most of us lost our jobs/income. I did not qualify for any additional help, nor could I collect unemployment. While I like CEU's offered (some free), I really think AMTA should have done more to help LMT's financially during Covid.

Response from American Massage Therapy Association· Jun 9, 2022
Hi Tina, thank you for reaching out. We know that the massage profession was hit hard by COVID, which is why we took steps to help our members during that difficult time. We offered up over $500,000 in dues relief to members who were up for renewal starting in late March of 2020. I see that you had just renewed at the end of February 2020 and therefore would not have received any of those communications. As you mentioned we did provide free CEUs, which have now totaled over 750,000 hours or $7 million worth of free CEU. As a non-profit in the massage industry we are always looking for ways to give back to the profession. Take care - Jeff at AMTA
Very expensive for minimal content

The online classes have a lot of distracting errors in them.
