Regions
The Texas Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association relies on volunteer members to build community and provide educational opportunities to its members. With a state this large, it is important to build community locally as well as statewide. To accomplish this, we look to members in local regions to help create community and educational opportunities. Each region has 1-3 (occasionally more) coordinators helping to bring events to your area.
Below you will see a map of the different regions and a link to the regions. Each region’s page contains information about the coordinators, past and upcoming events and photos, and links to the coordinators.
We invite our members to join in our community events, share your ideas, and volunteer to grow your network and community.
Visit the Regional Pages to get information on each:

Intuition….
Does it actively play a role in Massage Therapy? And if it does….
Is it a skill that we’ve developed through time, through practice, and through the unheard act of simply being present- really, present?
Every touch we impart, always tells us every unspoken story. It whispers in the silence, and imbues in every breath.
Please, come and join us in this immersive event.
Discover how intuition elevates our practice, beyond technique.
Let’s discuss The Power of Intuition in Massage Therapy, and explore how to listen with our hands, sense with our hearts, and create a deeper connection with every client.
Join us for an evening of insight.
When: Saturday, November 15, 2025
From: 5pm-7pm
