Debbie Martinez
My career in the medical field began in the mid 90’s. After decades of being in the nursing field I found my way into the wonderful world of Massage Therapy, and made the transition into a profession of doing real hands-on work with people that greatly impacted and improved their quality of life without the bureaucracy of the healthcare system. Having taught the Medical Assistant program in the past had given me a passion for teaching, so in 2016 I obtained my Massage Therapy Instructor License. I’ve instructed at several institutions including at the collegiate level, and I enjoy tutoring those students who need individual guidance. I was an elected AMTA Boardmember and found an appreciation for contributing to our ever-growing profession. For the past several years I have also been working with FSMTB as an Item Writer. I love the challenge of it and collaborating with some amazing people who were very influential to me during my massage education, and who continue to be a source of learning to new students who learn from their thorough textbooks. I live by the mantra that everything you know is worth nothing unless you share it with others, and I’m grateful to work with like-minded professionals and to help this distinguished profession grow to serve the community and to educate as many people as possible to the many benefits of bodywork.
