Practicing Thai Massage Professionally:
Course credits, licensing, associations, and insurance
Since every province, state and country sets its own standards for massage, yoga and naturopathic work, we can provide some guidelines
and resources that you can use to acquire additional information.
Lotus Palm's courses and certification are accredited by many organizations and associations. Belonging to a professional association can lend
legitimacy to your practice and provide you with member services to help network, gain liability insurance, write receipts for your client's
insurance, and build your business.
- Membership in what is arguably the most important massage association in Quebec
- Insurance receipts that are recognized by the majority of insurance companies in Quebec.
Practicing Legally: Knowing your Obligations
Legal licensing requirements vary according to location; it is the practitioner's
responsibility to be informed of, and to fulfill local legal requirements governing a
given region. In Canada & the United States, massage is usually governed by state or provincial law,
and then further under municipal regulation. In some cases Thai Massage can also fall under the category of
naturopathic work as well as assisted yoga.
For a list of legal requirements pertaining to the practice of massage in Canada and the
United States, please visit Massage Magazine.
