I have to have a permit to do it out of my home, and i don't. It's a little expensive for just the application fee, and that doesnt guarantee that iit'll pass. Then i have to wait about 3 months for it to go through the boards and have them decide if they want me giving massages out of my home.

PA doesnt have licensure to be a massage therapist. We're working on it, but right now it's just certification. That alone makes it extremely hard to open a new massage business b/c it's so easy for someone to go on the internet, read some things and call themselves a massage therapist. That's very dangerous.

Right now, i do give my friends and family massages here, but i dont want to expand too far from that because this is a small town and if the wrong person hears that I'm doing it here, i can get a huge ass fine and possibly lose my certification. It has happened before and i dont want to take the risk.
