Fellow friends, hundreds of other legitimate, certified massage therapist providing Wonderful Service in San Francisco have to dig into some savings accounts that we may or may not have for thousands of dollars of fees to pay for a Health Permit that we had no idea was necessary, number one, and number two, i kind of want to have a reeducation about who we are. This may be an issue for the city and for the nation as a whole, but why is the Health Department going after california certified massage therapists who have Business Licenses and who are doing business in the city.
