Abstract
For the past three years, I have had the great privilege of serving as Editor of first the Practice Section alone and then also the Education Section of the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (IJTMB), a journal unique in its mission to link the complementary components of research, education, and practice for the therapeutic massage and bodywork (TMB) field. IJTMB’s mission is what drew me to the role of editor. My career and scholarly work includes, or has included, each component. Along the way, I have focused a lot of my energy and voice to encourage other TMB professionals to become more knowledgeable about, and involved in, the TMB component that seems to get the least “love”: research.(1–4) I have so enjoyed facilitating the important contributions of others from the TMB field as they have submitted to, and published in, IJTMB during my tenure. By going through the process of scientific dialogue, these contributors have navigated a challenging yet rewarding journey; congratulations and “thank you” to all involved: authors, mentors, reviewers, and fellow editors!
