Right away, we start second guessing our decision of picking someone out of the phone book and some of us even leave!

If you are a massage therapist, one little accessory will keep this from happening to you ever again - a lab coat; and for an added image boost, a set of…

Massage Business or.........?

I'm curious…with massage clients, how big a percentage is the physical massage in relation to your massage session, or, to the bigger picture of your massage business?

I can say 100%. Everything I do leads to the end result; a massage that is specific to what the client wants and providing an excellent massage.

I can also say about 10%. As an ‘in-home massage specialist’, I have the time to communicate a…

Hell Has Frozen Over: Yes, that is me in an ad for the NCBTMB.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from blogging about the massage profession, particularly when it concerns politics and/or the goings-on at the associations, it’s that there aren’t any secrets in this business. I’m pretty good at keeping secrets; I wouldn’t be able to write this blog without the help of sources who prefer to remain anonymous. This time the cat is out of the bag--concerning me.

In the next few weeks, the trade magazines will be coming out with an ad from the…

How often should I get massage?

How often should I get a massage? One of the most frequently asked questions, with one of the most annoying answers. It depends.

Of course if money were no object, the answer would be, every day. While we have heard about the legendary stories of Bob and Dolores Hope receiving daily massage, and how he gave it credit for both their longevity and vitality, I am not acquainted with anyone personally…

Your Migraine Could Be Telling You Something – Are You Listening?
