North Carolina Board of Massage & Bodywork Therapy

Do better please…

In addition, the NC Board of Massage requires history of all past work experience along with phone numbers, addresses, etc... When I asked a board staff member if there were exceptions for those in my situation who didn't have references from over 20 years ago, she said there were no exceptions. I'm also curious about how the $200 application fee is spent🤔. There are several other ridiculous hoops to jump th
