Felony Conviction and Getting a Massage Therapy License?
Posted by admin on Jan 10, 2009
A year and a half ago, I got in some trouble,for being a stupid kid in the wrong place. I pleaded no contest to a felony conviction and got withhelp ajudification. It's only been a year, but I've grown up a lot. I'm looking into going to Massage Therapy school. I'm still on probation, and my probation officer even ent to bat ffor e to travel to CT to go to school. Now I'm looking at the licensing requierments and its asking about convictions. So I have a few questions really….1, if its withheld ajudification do I have to say I was convicted? 2, if I do, how hard is it going to be to actually get my license? Any help would be great, I was and still am really excited about going to school but I don't want to spend the next 2 years in school if it won't lead to a career!! Thank you!
Ask your state board of massage licensing dept. If you live in a state that has only city licensing you need to ask them.
You school should also know more.
Ask your lawyer too.
I don't know what it means to have a 'withheld ajudification'.

See about getting your felony expunged.

I would discuss this with an attorney who can speak to your probation officer. You may be able to get this expunged or reduced to a misdemeanor after your probation is finished. Also, never lie on any application about your record. It's easier to explain doing something foolish and getting caught than it is to explain why you lied and tried to cover up the conviction.

What I have recently found out is that, the State Board of Licensing does a five year back ground check, within that five years and to date you can not be on probation or parole. Other than this I was told that it does not matter what the felony is you can still get your license. The licensing board does ask for an explanation and copies paper work for the incident. Good for me seems how I myself have some setbacks when it comes to this.
