ABMP vs Happy Websites
ABMP’s website comes free with your insurance. Ours is designed and written for you, and it’s yours to keep.
ABMP, a massage therapy association in Golden, Colorado, includes a free Wix website and a directory listing with membership, from $199 a year, along with liability insurance, CE and a free booking app we don’t offer. A multi-page site is an upgrade, and its published terms don’t say what happens to the site if you leave.

What website comes with ABMP?
A free Wix site you set up yourself.
It shares one profile with your ABMP directory listing, so updates show in both. Upgrading to a multi-page Wix site earns $100 off your next renewal.
Is the ABMP website really free?
The basic site is.
ABMP says it comes at no extra cost. One member reported in September 2026 that publishing it or changing themes meant paying for a subscription.
Do you keep your ABMP website if you leave?
ABMP doesn’t say.
Its website page and terms of use don’t cover the site or its domain once membership ends, so ask before you build on it.
What else comes with ABMP membership?
Insurance, CE and a booking app.
Every membership includes liability insurance, and Professional members get 350+ hours of free CE. The PocketSuite Basic booking app is free for members.

ABMP FAQ
Is ABMP legit?
Yes. Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals is a national massage therapy association, founded in 1986 and based in Golden, Colorado. It has a 4.8 rating from over 3,500 Trustpilot reviews and an A+ BBB rating with no complaints in three years, though it isn’t BBB accredited.
How much does ABMP membership cost?
Professional membership is $199 a year, and Certified is $229 a year or $20 a month. New graduates pay $89 for their first year. The free Wix website, the directory listing, liability insurance and continuing education are included.
Is the ABMP website free?
The basic Wix website comes with membership at no extra cost. A multi-page Wix site with more features is an upgrade that earns $100 off your next renewal. ABMP doesn’t publish the upgrade’s price, and one member reported having to pay to publish the site or change themes.
What happens to my ABMP website if I leave?
ABMP’s published pages and terms don’t say whether the website stays online or who keeps the domain once your membership ends. Ask before you build on it, and keep copies of your text and photos.
Is Happy Websites a good ABMP alternative?
For the website, yes, if you want it designed and written for you, with more pages, unlimited edits, and a site and domain you keep. ABMP costs far less and includes liability insurance, continuing education and a booking app Happy Websites doesn’t offer, so you may want both.
