IS A LICENSE NEEDED TO PRACTICE MASSAGE THERAPY OR BODYWORK IN WISCONSIN?

No. In Wisconsin, Wis. Stats., Chapter 460, is a title protection act, not a practice protection act. This allows for voluntary certification of persons as massage therapists or bodyworkers. Persons with a certificate granted under the statute are allowed to use certain protected titles. To become a certificate holder you must meet certain minimum educational and other qualifications. You can work as a massage therapist or bodyworker without being a certificate holder; however, if you do not receive a certificate from the state you are limited in the permissible titles that may be used to call yourself.
