I would love to know about your process and anything you've discovered as an LMT in terms of resources for cont. ed. I went onto several websites for different treatment facilities, and didn't see massage included in their curriculum. I 'd love to communicated more about this, as I am finding positive results in the work I'm doing in my own recovery and would like to offer hope to other suffering bulimics and women in recovery from EDs.

I too am in recovery from ab eating disorder that has spanned my entire life, and included bulumia, anorexia, compulsive overeating and exercise. I also became a massage therapist in hopes of healing my own body image issues, and am now interested in working with other women who struggle with all of the above. I was in treatment in a facility that did not offer massage ,m but feel that it be a very beneficial component in the treatment. I too would appreciate any info about specific training for therapists and opportunites for networking. Thank you.

I had an eating disorder for over 20 years. I became a massage therapist to treat those suffering with this horrible disease.I experienced the powerful effect that a nurturing touch can have on the mind/body. I work in a hospital and have tried to bring massage to the eating disorder clinic, however i was turned away. I believe in massage therapy for eating disorder patients and therefore after many years of trying to accomplish this goal I am not giving up. I would appreciate any ideas/suggestions you might have. Yours truly, Cindy Scher, LMT (reoovered anorexic and bulimic 15 years)

And kudos to this magazine for not perpetuating the prevailing media image that people have to be a size 2 to appear on the pages of the magazine; people of all shapes and sizes are included in the pages. I think a lot of eating disorders, especially among young girls, are brought on by the unrealistic pressure to look like the models, movie stars and singers who starve themselves, have personal chefs, and work out with personal trainers five hours a day in order to look good for the camera. That's not real life, but unfortunately a lot of people buy into it. Massage therapists, and clients, come in all shapes and sizes and this magazine has always represented that honestly and without judgment. Keep up the good work!
