CELEBRATE WITH US JULY 14-20, 2024
Massage is not meant to be a luxury for just a lucky few - massage is for EveryBody. For 25+ years, Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) has focused on diversity and inclusion during our annual Massage Is for EveryBody Week, and throughout the year. This year, ABMP would like to invite you to join us by bringing the benefits of massage to all communities.
ABMP encourages you to look for opportunities to partner with others in your community to share the benefits of massage and bodywork with those who need it most. Volunteer, donate, raise money, start a campaign, or find your own creative way to give. Use this week to celebrate the impact of your work and the difference you make in the world.
