Is a massage therapist career a good and flexible choice for moms?

The hard part about massage therapy is getting your clientele. If you take the course and are able to get your shingle out you can do it out of your home, you'll get your regulars and have a tidy little business. The thing is that if you don't have anywhere to network, you may have some difficulty with client-getting. (This is sometimes my big problem! I'm a work-from-home-photographer-mom I mean mom-photographer...you know what I mean! haha!) It's a great job. There is a big demand for it and you are providing a really good service. If your kids are in school, you might be able to do some half-days and have a more flexible schedule if you do choose to practise outside the home. Do some research in your area and find out what kind of demand there is. Talk to your profs about it too. And when you're done studying, I'll give you my number and trade services! :) (just kidding!) Good luck!

I think thats a great career choice for stay at home moms. The hours are indeed flexible, I say go for it!

totally... you work where you want when you want...even in your home. to build up clientel it's good to start at a busy place like a spa, but if you have the money and know people go out on your own...it's the best way to work!
