Marie is a LMT in Florida and has worked in spas, as a mobile therapist, a spa party coordinator, and has both worked as an employee and been an entrepreneur. As a business owner learning on the job, one important lesson she learned is about the importance of networking in this profession. So after covid, she held her first LMT social. Her intent was to make it accessible for therapists to come in, share stories, and meet with other therapists. After a successful first event, and maybe against her better judgment, she decided to hold a second, and now there’s a third coming up! Check out this episode to learn about the LMT Social hosted by Marie from Prestige Massage.
