Yes. If you accept money or barter for your services you will need to have a license.

What to Expect from Massage Therapy Education?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that demand for massage therapists will grow over the next ten years. In 42 states and the District of Columbia, entry into the field requires extensive education to prepare for licensing or certification. In areas without state certification, massage licenses may be granted at the local level, but formal education may still be needed to obtain a license. Spas and other massage providers may also require therapists to have completed a program in massage therapy. Massage therapy education programs can be found at universities, community colleges and private massage schools. A typical program features study of human anatomy and movement, training in massage techniques, and application of these techniques to muscle and skeletal health problems. Programs also may include courses on ethics, communicating with clients and preparing for licensing exams. Schools may offer internships or work-study opportunities where students can develop hands-on skills under professional supervision. In some programs, students may choose to specialize in certain types of massage, such as sports medicine, clinical massage or Eastern therapies. Massage therapy education programs generally require 500 to 600 hours of course credits for completion. Students can take anywhere from six months to one year to complete a program, depending on the required course hours and whether they attend on a full-time or part-time basis. Massage therapy education programs generally require students to have at least a high school diploma, and may require an entrance exam or interview before admission. Some schools have competitive admissions, but most motivated students who meet the minimum requirements will be able to find a program. After completing a program, massage therapists may need to fulfill continuing education requirements. These can be set by the state, local officials or employers. Generally, continuing education programs can be found at massage therapy schools and through professional organizations like the American Massage Therapy Association. State requirements vary, but generally involve 20 to 30 hours of course credits each year.
Can massage therapy detox your body?
No, it cannot. The term 'detox' is often used in relation to massage therapy, and it is often misunderstood. I will do my best to clear up this misconception: Your own body systems that deal with processing metabolic wastes are the only ones that can detox your body. Also, your body systems can only function at a certain rate as far as processing those wastes. The only thing that massage therapy can do is to facilitate those systems and allow them to function more efficiently. In other words, your body has to do all the work and massage can make it easier for your body to detox itself. It cannot do the process for you. You can think of the process sort of like this analogy: If you are in pain, you have to heal your own body to get rid of the pain. Massage therapy is like a good friend. It can hold your hand and make the pain easier to bear, but in the end, you still have to go through the pain. Massage is the good friend that helps your body do what it does naturally, no more, no less.
