The Oregon Massage
Therapists Association

OMTA is an alternative grass-roots professional organization. We are a diverse, eclectic membership, dedicated to a collaborative, consensus process. We support creative new ideas and flexibility. We have a local Oregon identity, are self-authorized, and self-created.

We have faith that the OMTA process does work: we continually try to go beyond polarities to trust in the underlying unity. We dialogue in diversity, value compassion and respect, and accept our humanness, our vulnerability and our judgments. We are committed to working through our group process, appreciate feedback, and are aware of boundaries.

Testimonial

My massage practice is currently quite small as I work out of my home and I am extremely careful as to who I take in for new clients. I work almost exclusively on personal referrals. I do no advertising to the general public at all. I do, however, maintain my listing on OMTA's web site and this past Friday received two calls, resulting in three new clients, all new to the area and who found me via the OMTA listing. Furthermore, all three receive massage regularly and have booked future appointments.
Thank you!
Heather
