Rebecca is a 3 time guest who always has some inspirational words for RMTs, LMTs, CMTs, and any bodyworker or entrepreneur really. We invited her back to talk about her newest baby, iHeal Institute, which uses NLP, Time Line Therapy, and hypnosis, to help coaches, massage therapists, and anyone really to learn the ways that they can heal themselves and help other people do the same. As always, Rebecca delivers some awesome advice for anyone in our profession and told us about another thing off her bucket list recently...her very first fitness competition! Listen to be inspired...

Paula is an International speaker and educator from Brisbane, Australia who specializes in teaching Neuro-Lymphatic Reflexes, commonly called Chapman’s reflexes, because they were first observed by Osteopathic Physician, Frank Chapman. Paula is also the founder of the Supercharged Therapist Method. She wanted to have a chat with us about some of the very interesting things she’s doing in her practice and her teaching and we love hearing from practitioners around the globe who are doing something a little different. We had a late night recording here in Toronto with some drinks and if it wasn’t morning in Brisbane Paula would have definitely joined us in a pint!

Joyce is a Massage Therapist in Toronto who is the “breadwinner” for her family of four. She says her family has broken the mold of what people view as a traditional family structure. At the end of 2019, Joyce and her family had their world shaken up when Joyce made a discovery that led to a diagnosis she never would have imagined she would hear. Joyce feels like often people don’t speak about what happens behind closed doors when something like this happens to your own family and there can be an elephant in the room when speaking to people on the outside. Joyce feels that telling her story and being open may encourage others to not go through this alone and understand that it can happen to anyone. She also feels it can help others know how to best support someone who is dealing with illness.

Kelly is a Reiki Master from Orlando Florida and has a story about her first experience feeling energy through massage which is how she realized she may just be a Michael Jordan in this field (you have to listen to understand). We learned that Kelly was organizing a fundraiser for Prevent Child Abuse Florida and wanted to give her a platform to talk about it. She had a virtual lip sync battle, “Putting on the hits 2021” to help raise money for this organization which means so much to her. As a child, Kelly grew up in an abusive home and stresses the importance of these kids having support systems outside of their home to get them through. Listen to us talk about energy, fundraising, and all about Kelly becoming who she is today.

Nicki is a regular guest, turned friend and wine drinking buddy here and she has returned for a third episode to share some of her most unpopular opinions with us. The three of us discuss topics such as money and how society feels about the “super rich”, discrimination and when it may be justified, Massage Therapists as a business, and many more opinions that may or may not be shared by the majority of manual therapists. Nicki loves healthy debates and is very open minded and her opinions are fluid which is why she’s very open to sharing her views with us all...don’t hate, just enjoy a fun conversation between three RMT friends!

Alyssa sent us a message to express some of her thoughts about being a Massage Therapist in California. She’s a new therapist and is also still in school to become a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist. We invited her to talk about being a new therapist while still studying and we ended up going down a path that of course we didn’t set out to go down. Alyssa recalled a time when she had a major emotional release while receiving treatment which opened up her eyes to how incredible Massage Therapy can be. Listen to some cool shop talk to get inspired all over again by how amazing Massage Therapy really is.

Alex, the founder of Neurofit, describes this virtual reality tool as the Fitbit for your brain. After his father suffered a stroke, Alex realized there were limitations with brain injury rehabilitation and knew there had to be a better way. The entrepreneurial spark became a fire and Neurofit VR was born. The mission is to allow patients to receive personalized rehabilitation and allow the healthcare providers to help more people even with limited time. Listen to Alex tell us his story, how Neurofit works, who Neurofit can help, and how his company has had to shift due to COVID.

Montana is a LMT in New York who has experience working in both New York and Florida. She has recently become a listener of ours and wanted to have a chat about the differences she encountered both with how the spas were run and the clients she met working in these two states. She was also interested in breaking down the differences between being registered and being licensed. It’s always fun to chat with our listeners down south and hear their stories and Montana delivered! She told us some crazy stories about traveling and dealing with inappropriate clients which many of us can relate to. Listen to another fun and productive conversation with an awesome listener!

Check out this sit down we had with a Massage Therapist after she caught our eye with a Facebook post that sparked some interesting conversation about issue that she was having with the Governing Body, and apparently she's not the only one...
