Colorado AMTA Chapter

09/22/2026

⏰ ONLY 24 HOURS TO GO!
CO-AMTA members, come hang out with us tomorrow morning for our in-person Meet & Greet at Edgewater Public Market!
No presentations. No agenda. Just an opportunity to grab a coffee, meet other Colorado massage therapists, talk shop, share ideas, and spend some time with your massage therapy community.

📅 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ 9:30 AM–Noon
📍 Edgewater Public Market

Massage therapy can sometimes feel like a solitary profession. Events like this are about changing that—building connections with the people who understand the work we do.

Come for 20 minutes or stay for the morning. We’d love to see you there!

Same passion. Brighter together. 💙

🌟 TONIGHT: Virtual Meet & Greet 🌟

Connect from home!

📅 Monday, September 14 · 7:00–8:00 pm Mountain

Massage is quiet work, and it can get lonely. Bring a cup of something and talk shop with therapists from across the state. Tonight's discussion starter: what makes you feel like part of a community of therapists rather than alone in your practice?

⚠️ Space is limited to the first 50 people to join.

So good seeing so many of you at Tap 14 and National Convention! 🎉 Whether we swapped stories over a b**r or ran into each other between classes, it was a great reminder of how strong this Colorado massage therapy community is.

Now let's keep the momentum going! Here's how to stay involved:

🙋 Volunteer — big or small, we've got a spot for you
📅 Upcoming events — triathlons, meet & greets, education days, and more
🤝 Get to know your board — we're here for questions, ideas, and everything in between

Savannah, y'all. 🌴

The ink is barely dry on Denver and we're already counting down to AMTA National Convention 2027 — August 26–28, Savannah, Georgia.

The Hostess City is about to host us — Spanish moss, twenty-two squares, cobblestones on River Street, and the best shrimp and grits you'll ever put a fork in. Come for the CE, stay for the sweet tea.

Fair warning: Savannah in August is warm. Pack light, hydrate, and slow down — down there, "in a little while" is a real unit of time. 😅

Lady Astor once called Savannah "a beautiful woman with a dirty face." We say she's a beautiful woman who could use a good massage. 💆

CO-AMTA is already talking group travel, room shares, and a Colorado Social that'll give Denver a run for its money. Who's in?

Drop a 🍑 in the comments if you're already dreaming about it.

🎉 Denver delivered!

CO-AMTA showed up in force for the 2026 AMTA National Convention, and having it in our own backyard made it something special.

The highlight? Our own Nancy Specian, board member and Education Director, was honored with her 25-year AMTA service milestone pin. Twenty-five years of showing up for this profession and for Colorado's massage therapists. Congratulations, Nancy — richly deserved. 👏

A few things Nancy brought home for us:

📚 The education was strong. Sessions on the mechanisms of chronic pain, hospital-based massage therapy, advanced clinical assessment and reasoning, oncology massage, and working with vulnerable populations. Big theme across all of it: meet every client exactly where they are, always ask permission, and know that we can meaningfully reduce pain even when we can't erase it.

🤖 AI came up — a lot. The Assembly of Delegates spent real time on where artificial intelligence fits in our scope of practice, our ethics, and our client data. This conversation is just getting started, and Colorado intends to be part of it.

🗣️ Chapters talked to each other. Smaller chapters, communication that actually reaches members, stronger delegate engagement — practical problems, practical ideas.

🥳 And the Colorado Social was a blast. Great food, great conversation, old friends and new ones. A very good time was had by all.

🗺️ Mark your calendars: Savannah 2027 · Chicago 2028 · Seattle 2029

More on how this shapes our chapter education calendar coming soon. Nancy came back with a long list of ideas. 😉

I think your CO-AMTA is missing the community. We’ve been texted all week about how wonderful it was for us to see everyone and meet so many Colorado members.

If you miss the community feel as well say hi! I know I do so Hi!

The American Massage Therapy Association - AMTA National Convention has come to a close. It has been an incredible week filled with community, education, connection and laughter. The CO-AMTA is so grateful to all its members that were present and we truly hope you found the experience enjoyable.

We hope to see you again soon and please stay connected. We love the passion and community our conventions bring and hope to carry that forward with us through the next few weeks and months.
