ABMP is excited to congratulate this year’s Massage is for EveryBody $1,000 award winners, and celebrate the profound benefits of bodywork in diverse communities.
Exemplifying the guiding principles (listed below) of ABMP’s ongoing Massage is for EveryBody campaign, this year’s recipients tell stories of serving breast cancer survivors, veterans, and the elderly. They bring massage to underserved populations. And they support other practitioners in their healing work. Read their inspiring stories here! We are sure you will recognize your work in theirs.
We at ABMP were humbled to receive a multitude of entries this year, and it’s important to say that all of these stories are worth sharing. To that end, we encourage you to share your story with those in your community, because it is work that should be shared and celebrated.
