How to change your address with FSMTA

1) Go to www.fsmta.org and click on "Members Log-in" to change your official record at Central Office. 
2) Click info@fsmtasw.org to notify the Southwest Chapter. 

Be sure and send us your changes as you move about through your life. The Central Office data base links to a service called "How to Find a Therapist". This accesses the entire list of 4000-plus members statewide of FSMTA. By updating your information, potential clients can find you. All FSMTA members have an account because of their membership and were assigned a password by email when this service first went up. If you never received the password or lost it, just click on "Members Log-in" and scroll down to "Don't know your password?" Click here and it will ask you for your email address which it will then cross-check with the data base, pluck out your password and email it to you. In a few minutes you'll get an email from info@fsmta.org. Put this password where you put all your secret passwords so you can find it again. Once you have gotten in to "Members Log-in", click "View Profile" at the top. This will bring up your personal data. Scroll down to "Update Profile". Click and make changes to your file. If you have taken a workshop recently and want to add it to your profile, do it now. The "Find a Therapist" page allows anyone to bring up a list of therapists by those modalities listed. You are limited to what is shown on the list, and cannot add an exotic-sounding workshop to your profile. For example, prenatal massage. When someone is looking for a prenatal massage therapist in their area, they will click on prenatal massage and enter their zip code and how many miles they are willing to drive to get to you, say 30 miles. If your zip code pops up within 30 miles as a prenatal massage therapist, your name and contact information will show up on the list. Try it now. It's pretty neat.
