Massage Therapy Support Petition
"We, as members of society value massage and wish to see the healing practice be supported through regulation to be less expensive, more accessible, and an integrated part of the holistic healing options in the medical community. We do not wish it to be grouped with illicit practices such as prostitution or human trafficking. We want policy that regulates massage while supporting it's growth. Human trafficking and prostitution needs to be addressed in a way that does not penalize legitimate healing practices."
Why is this important?
I am a Massage Therapist, a small business owner, the Vice President of the Golden Gate Unit of the American Massage Therapy Association, and appreciate massage in my healing self-care. I will be unable to afford starting a brick and mortar business and will have to increase my prices to deal with the proposed costs of the policy being considered.
I have met with Supervisor Tang, attended meetings across the board, and tried to be part of the process of forming the policy. Supervisor Tang is ignoring our concerns.
