I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2004.  I look forward to serving on the Missouri AMTA board.  What a tremendous opportunity I have been given to learn and grow in the field of massage therapy.  I have been in this profession for several years now and am looking forward to somehow giving back to the profession.

I currently reside and have my practice, Chouteau Springs Therapeutic Services, in Boonville, Missouri.  My husband, Darin, and I have lived here for 20 years.  We are active in our community and our church.  Along with massage my practice also offers doula services.  I have been a member of AMTA since graduating Heritage college in 2004.  I have always enjoyed attending the annual conferences.

Again, thank you for this opportunity to serve on the Board of AMTA Missouri.

As a practicing Massage Therapist for 17 years, I joined the AMTA in 1998 when attending the Massage Therapy Institute of Missouri in Columbia, MO.  Since then I have always looked forward to attending the continuing education classes at our state conventions and the fall class when offered.  I have attended at least ten AMTA national conventions as well.  At these conventions and classes I have learned so much from great educators and leaders in our profession.  For me, the hands on training, the knowledge shared there, and the camaraderie and  support of other therapists  met through the AMTA have really been paramount to my professional development and longevity as a therapist.  As I fulfill this years term as secretary of the AMTA MO my hope is to be able to give back to the AMTA since it has been such a benefit to me.  Though I am inexperienced in the organizational leadership of the AMTA, our officers are being very helpful in teaching me, and they are great folks with whom to work.  I look forward to serving as your secretary, meeting many more of you, and learning from you and your experiences in the year to come.
