I’ve been a licensed massage therapist since 2019. Even before starting massage school, I knew I wanted to work with people living with chronic pain, especially those dealing with neck and shoulder issues. While still in school, I jumped into continuing education classes focused on advanced neck techniques. That extra training helped me stand out in clinic and gave me valuable experience and confidence working with conditions that many therapists shy away from.
When it came time to renew my first license, I realized the courses I’d taken before graduation didn’t count, so I started looking for CE classes that would really expand my skills and help me serve clients better. Thanks to the power of the internet, I stumbled across Erik Dalton’s work. After watching a few videos, I discovered a workshop just an hour away and decided to give it a try. I was hooked! I left that very first class with a home study course in hand and a goal to work toward MMT certification.
What I love about MAT is that the techniques are gentle on both the client and the therapist, and they’re so versatile. I can use them with my relaxation clients and still get amazing results, but for those who want to participate, I love that they can be actively involved. I truly believe it changes their body’s healing potential when they take part in the process.
MAT has helped my clients get better results, faster. One of my clients’ orthopedic surgeons even told her, “Keep doing what you’re doing,” after seeing her progress. She told him about my bodywork, and he wanted all my information! Moments like that are so rewarding.
I get a lot of questions on social media about my certification, and my advice is always the same: start with what you’re most interested in or what you’re seeing the most of in your practice. For me, it was neck and shoulders. For you, it might be nerve flossing or lower body work. The beauty of these courses is that they truly stand alone, you don’t have to take them in order. Pick what excites you most, dive in, and go for it!
