[blparent] looking for an advise about massage training school

[tatyana]

Rebecca,
Thank you for those questions. It makes me think more carefully.
I can say "Yes"  for some questions, but what you mean saying by "are you 
prepared to take continuing education in this field?".
It seems this discussion is off topic, so you can e- mail me  at
tagrig at verizon.net
Tatyana.
