Board Certified Massage Therapist

My Credentials

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession—it is above and beyond entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commit to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

To achieve my Board Certification, I provided proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education, 250 hours of professional, hands-on work experience, passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and passed the Board Certification Exam. By passing the BCETMB and meeting all requirements, I demonstrate advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a commitment to excellence. I wear the credentials BCTMB with pride for myself, my profession, and, most importantly, my clients.

Inflammation Release Technique

Inflammation Release Technique is a light pressured, deep tissue approach unlike anything in the healing arts, that Lori Lynn developed, trialed and presented over a course of twelve years.  IRT was developed from work she was doing in hospice with Northwestern Memorial Hospital, in Chicago, Illinois.  IRT was accepted in its theories by the top MD/ PhD's, through the Fascia Research Congress, where Lori Lynn presented her pilot study in Amsterdam, in 2009.  Her second acceptance was through the Performing Arts Medicine Association (PAMA), on her theories of Restoring Vocal Register in singers.
