1 1 of 5 8/4/2014 7:45 PM Virginia In Touch The E-Newsletter of the American Massage Therapy Association Virginia Chapter February As massage therapists, we "Share the Love" every day! Sometimes we give a bit more than we get, though, and all that giving can leave us feeling a little (or a lot!) depleted. Your AMTA Virginia Chapter has a solution! Healing Connections annual conference offers you an outstanding opportunity to recharge, have some fun, make some friends and earn CEs at an amazing price! And... Healing Connections registration is now open! Find the link below and check out an overview of events. This is the first weekend of May, featuring a pre-conference workshop for the first time. Those who attend HC know this is an amazing event of networking, CE learning and sharing, all at an incredible price! Please bring your CMT friends, too. They will thank you! Also see our update on Legislative Day. It was a great success! Our efforts in making MT known to those who make our laws has lasting effects and is really fun! Be part of the team - we welcome volunteers! Just contact a board member. Eka Kapiotis, Chapter President

This past Wednesday, as a major snow storm was heading our way, a dedicated group of CMTs converged at the State Capitol to offer seated massage and gently advocate for our profession through the power of touch. Chapter Secretary Angela Hope coordinated the event, along with guidance from our legislative consultant Becky Bowers-Lanier. Many thanks to Angela and Becky, and Tzvia Schweitzer, Monee Pierre, Alessa Leming, Kristina Page, Bernie Binns, Jana Laird and Eka Kapiotis for their contributions to making the day a big success!!
