Dear Lola Moonflower,

Welcome to Cortiva Institute-Florida! Congratulations on taking your first step toward creating an exciting, flexible, and fulfilling career in massage therapy by enrolling in Cortiva Institute’s 750-hour Massage Therapy Diploma program!

Did you know that Bloomberg Businessweek.com rated massage therapy as the #1 Career for 2011? This is certainly a very exciting time to be a Massage Therapist. One of the reasons I believe massage therapy is such a wonderful career choice is that more consumers today are receiving regular massage therapy sessions as an integral part of their health and wellness routine than ever before. Massage therapy services are utilized now by consumers for relaxation, stress reduction, health and wellness development, pain relief, athletic injury recovery, performance enhancement, ease of movement, and many more reasons, too.

Another reason I believe this is an opportune time for new Massage Therapists is because there are so many different environments and workplaces for Massage Therapists to practice their profession and utilize their valuable skills. For example, Massage Therapists are offering their health and wellness services at national franchises, small, sole-proprietor massage studios, physical therapy centers, acupuncture clinics, chiropractic offices, pain management clinics, day/destination/resort spas, medi-spas, cruise ships, professional sports teams, airports, sporting events, health fairs, conventions, the workplace, and home visits are becoming very popular, too. Of course, massage therapy also presents many self-employment opportunities. In fact, approximately 66% of all Massage Therapists decide to build a private clientele during their career. Another growing trend is the partnering of Massage Therapists with other like-minded health and wellness professionals services to offer an expanded menu of services to their clients such as yoga, nutrition, personal training, skin care, and cosmetology. Some therapists even become dually certified in these other modalities so they can offer more value to both clients and employers.

Lola Moonflower, I am here to help you get your career off the ground. I plan to begin working with you and your classmates right away. In fact, you will see me at your class icebreaker event, orientation, and I’ll make an informal visit to your class every single week in an effort to get to know you and learn as much as I can to help you launch your career in massage therapy. I look forward to helping you crystallize your career dreams and ideas in the very near future as we work together to develop an effective plan for your successful career development.

Please feel free to contact me if you want to begin talking about career plans now or if you have any questions. Once again, welcome to Cortiva Institute.

Sincerely,
