EPISODE 056: Massage Careers = Freedom, Flexibility, Fun & Financial Success with Krista Dicks

Have you ever wondered if a career in massage therapy could actually provide freedom, fun, and financial success?

Spoiler Alert: It totally can.

In our latest episode, we are joined by the amazing Krista Dicks, Canadian RMT, clinic owner, and host of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast. With nearly two decades of experience—and a resume that includes spas, multidisciplinary clinics, race crews, and tropical destinations—Krista is living proof that massage therapy offers unmatched flexibility and opportunity.

Maybe you’ve met Krista before, but on the other side of the mic. Today, she is the hot seat as we explore how massage therapy can be a gateway to adventure, balance, financial success, and a deep sense of purpose.

We LOVE massage! We think more people should consider it as a career option! And we struggle to understand why it’s not growing at a more rapid pace!

🎧 What we cover in this episode:

  • The surprising joys of massage school.
  • Exciting career paths (hello, cruise ships and Caribbean contracts!)
  • Why the industry is growing fast—but we’re not training enough therapists.
  • The difference between the U.S. and Canadian markets.
  • How to build a massage career that supports your life—not the other way around.

Did you know?

The U.S. massage industry is worth over $18 billion and projected to grow 22% between 2018 and 2028. Yet the number of therapists has only grown 4.6% in the last decade. The demand is there. Are you ready to meet it?

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or considering the profession for the first time, this episode will remind you why massage is a career like no other.

Maybe you are:

✔️ Thinking about going to massage school
✔️ A newer therapist unsure of your next step
✔️ A seasoned pro needing a reminder of why you started

This episode is for you.
