“I want to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to the AMTA Government Relations team for their exceptional work. I appreciate their commitment and dedication to ensuring the highest standards for our profession. Their efforts play a crucial role in our success as massage therapists.”
— Dolly Wallace, BCTMB, LMT
“Serving as the AMTA California Government Relations Chair has been a meaningful way for me to give back to this great profession that has given me so much. In my role, I focus on advancing statewide licensure for massage therapy, as California remains one of only five states without it, and activating member engagement, so we can all, together, shape our profession. I consider it a privilege to represent AMTA California therapists by advocating for our recognition as highly skilled professionals, and working in Sacramento to ensure our field is placed where it belongs: right alongside other healthcare professions.”
