I am ABMP. Maggie Brunner, Centralia, Missouri. Member since 2005. BACKGROUND: Growing up on a cattle farm, I've long wanted to pursue the holistic health field. I studied spa management, then massage therapy, and I'm also an esthetician. I believe the training never ends. PERSPECTIVE: I already see a huge rise in the awareness of alternative health options, but it's our job to keep educating people. I believe in and love what I do; clients can see that through my work. BUSINESS GROWTH: Referrals and persistence are the keys to success. I foresee my business branching out to surrounding communities as I add more amenities to my practice. ABMP AND ME: I joined ABMP as a student member. After school, I started my own business, building a solid foundation with ABMP resources. ABMP saved me from a lot of headache, protects my business and me, and keeps me in tune with issues in the industry. LAST WORD: Massage therapy doesn't have to be just an alternative career. Often, as with me, it's your calling. Comprehensive liability insurance and practice support for massage and bodywork professionals and students.
