The popularity and availability of massage has come full circle through the years.
Locally, massage enthusiasts can attend classes or receive a massage at Blue Sky School of Professional Massage & Therapeutic Bodywork.
Originating in southern Wisconsin, Blue Sky has been a staple in the Green Bay community since 2000 and this fall will mark its sixth year with a satellite facility on the southwest side of De Pere at 2200 American Blvd.
Blue Sky this year is celebrating 25 years of business. Karen Lewis, co-founder of the Blue Sky Education Foundation as well as dean of the school, is fervent about the foundation, the school and her career.
"I have been in massage since 1978. I am passionate about this field," Lewis said.
A decade ago, when Blue Sky was expanded to the Green Bay community, its massage schools were present in only two other locations — Madison and Grafton. Lewis saw an interest and a need for something in Northeastern Wisconsin.

Under the current law, a person who is not certified as a massage therapist or bodyworker by the Department of Regulations and Licensing may not designate himself/herself as a massage therapist or bodyworker. The passage of AB 588 will make it mandatory for massage and bodywork therapists to be licensed by the state in order to practice, essentially changing the law from title protection to a mandatory practice act.

Instructor: Judy Ann Walz, MSN, RN
This six week course on Asian & Complimentary Therapies is designed to fuel your passion for deeply integrating mind-spirit-body and the mindfulness of purposeful healing. These strategies are very effective for self-healing, to incorporate into every day touch and intention, and to complement any therapeutic touch and or body work in which you invest yourself.
This course includes a diversity of healing modalities into a systematic yet concise flow. These various techniques will aid you in composing a repertoire of assessment and intervention skills. How often as a body worker (self or others) have you encountered “eggs” under scapulas or deep in the lateral thigh? They are both related and involve the same organ meridian which is asking for clearing.

Excerpted from an article titled 5 High-Paying, Low-Stress Jobs By Amy Bell (Saturday, May 15, 2010)
If you're like thousands of other job seekers, you may dream of earning the big bucks without having to deal with the extreme stress that goes hand-in-hand with top-paying jobs. Of course, a high-salary, low-stress job sounds too good to be true. Or is it?
Believe it or not, you don't have to take on a heart-pounding career as a brain surgeon, airline pilot or stock broker to bring home some serious bacon. As a matter of fact, some of the highest-stress jobs pay surprisingly scanty salaries. Just think about police officers, firefighters and social workers. These folks have quite possibly the most nerve-racking jobs in the world, yet most of them earn less than $45,000 a year. What about combat soldiers who face death on a daily basis? They typically earn less than $30,000 a year.
In other words, high stress does not always equal a hefty salary, or vice versa. Fortunately, there are plenty of laid-back career choices that pay quite generously.
