Statement

I sought a way to set my massage practice apart from the many other local massage therapy practices. Knowing that I also needed Category A continuing education credits, I checked the NCBTMB list of accredited courses, and there it was: Belavi Facelift Massage. I was intrigued by just the name, fascinated when I saw the Web site, and absolutely delighted with the results for my own 50-something face when I took the class! My clients adore the results they receive, too. Further, this technique is so much easier on my body than doing full-body massages all day, and a great addition to my massage menu of services. And, what other massage technique provides you with income potential from a full line of high quality skin care products? Come learn how to give the complete Bellanina treatment as a professional service, with my personal attention to your style, flow and body mechanics. It will enhance your massage practice-and your life-forever.
