Subject: Massage Therapist License Application — Enrique Solano
Application
Enrique Solano applied for licensure as a massage therapist to work for Whole Health
Massage at 8800 East Point Douglas Road. Whole Health Massage LLC is currently licensed
to operate a therapeutic massage business at that location.
Background Investigation
The Public Safety Department conducted a background investigation of Mr. Solano and did not
find anything that would constitute a basis for denial of the application.
I searched the disciplinary actions posted by the MN Department of Health Office of
Unlicensed Complementary and Alternative Health Care Practice and did not find any actions
posted against Mr. Solano.
Proof of Education/Certification
The City of Cottage Grove requires that proof of education/certification in compliance with our
City Code be sent directly to us from the institution, program, or examining board. I received a
transcript directly from Broadview University indicating that Mr. Solano holds a diploma in
Massage Therapy from Globe University awarded 12/23/2010. Globe University, which is no
longer in business, was accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and
Schools. This standard meets our city code criteria.
a. Graduation from an institution or program in massage therapy that is accredited by an accrediting agency
recognized by the United States Department of Education.
b. Passing results of Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) administered by the Federation
of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), or the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage
(NCETM) or National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCETMB) administered by
the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork(NCBTMB).
c. Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage &Bodywork(BCTMB)from the National Certification Board for
Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork(NCBTMB).
Excerpt of Education/Certification requirement from our City Code—meeting one of the criteria is required.
Staff Recommendation
Authorize issuance of a massage therapist license to Enrique Solano.
