Help/massage therapist

New to Phoenix 👋🏻

Hi guys,

I moved from WA to AZ 2 weeks ago..I drove myself. My WA license for massage is active, 10 yrs experience. Massage work has been my only source of income, I love helping others. I moved to Phoenix, secured apartment beforehand, and was still in limbo with the Board in AZ trying to get a one time waiver. I now can't, due to them seeing what I made in WA and only going by that. It sucks. I have a job offer from two places in phoenix. I am now running out of money. Im trying doordash at night, but that takes gas etc. It's 114 degrees hot outside. In order to even make headway financially I need to do massage, I need to get licensed in AZ, which costs money. Im freaking out. A part of me wants to high tail it back to Seattle, where I can work now. Im really struggling. Also, no loans poor credit and no one to help me out of this tough spot. 😪
