10 Gifts For Massage Therapists

  1. Wooden Essential Oil Storage Box – This classy and elegant box is the perfect solution for storing all those essential oils us massage therapists enthusiastically collect!
  2. Himalayan Salt Lamp & Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser – Kill two birds with one stone with this super hip and fun salt lamp/humidifier. Are you sensing an essential oil theme here? We, massage therapists, love our essential oils! Lavender, bergamot, clary sage…the oils are good stuff!

3. RAD Self-Care Kit – This Colorado-based company are innovators in the movement revolution. With a variety of tools, they bring self-care to a new level. With continuing education opportunities, massage therapists are destined to get hooked on RAD once they have their first taste of these high quality, effective gear.

4. Mindfulness Therapy Game – Um, I am so in love with this one! A game about mindfulness, I mean come on, how cool is that? This game can be played with up to 15 players and is designed for kids 8 and up, teens, and adults – what a great way to start teaching the young ones early about mindfulness.

5. Dream Catcher – So, I am mildly obsessed with dream catchers these days. I love the idea behind these sacred hoops. And this one is so pretty! It would look great in a treatment room, or in your favorite massage therapist’s bedroom.

6. T-Shirt – How cute is this? We all know how tough massage therapists are. Now the world can too! It also comes in heather grey, silver, and baby blue.

7. Mug – You could pair this mug with some nice loose leaf tea, and you are sure to get in good with your favorite massage therapist.
“I’m a Massage Therapist not a Magician, but I can understand why you might be confused.”

8. Fruit Infuser Water Bottle – This clever design makes it that much easier for your MT to get their daily recommended water intake. The interior compartment is designed to hold fruit or veggies. Stick some raspberries or cucumbers in this bad boy and water has never been so fun.

9. Hoodie – Boy, can I relate to this one!
“I’m a MOM and a Massage Therapist nothing scares me” Anyone who also happens to be both a mom and a massage therapist knows how true this statement is. We are immune to the typical concerns of most. And there is nothing quite like a good hoodie in the long, cold winter months.

10. Notebook – This simple little notebook is sure to make the massage therapist in your life crack a smile!

I hope I’ve inspired you to make some fun buying decisions this gift-giving season! The holidays are a great time to show your appreciation for the ones you care about. Especially the massage therapists, wink, wink. Remember the old adage, “it is better to give than to receive,” with gifts like these you are bound to enjoy the giving immensely.

My son is becoming quite the portrait photographer My son is becoming quite the portrait photographer. Don't you think? 

Today is moving day for my business, and I'm finding myself quite sad! 

I've been in my current location for a little over three years. It was a COVID move that brought me to my current location. For FOREVER I was month to month, not fully committing to the space. 

And here we are 3+ years later, finally moving to a space that feels more like home, more aligned with my goals, more appropriate. 

Yet I'm sad!

I'll miss my neighbors and my current routine. I've helped so many people in this space. I've spent some life here! 

So today, I'm just going to feel the feels:)

A few years ago, when I still had therapists worki A few years ago, when I still had therapists working for me, we had an unfortunate occurrence.

A young woman who had recently been sexually assaulted came in to receive massage. She was trying to regroup and recover from her negative touch experience through massage. 

Her therapist insisted that she remove her bra.

Under "normal" circumstances, this wouldn't have been a huge deal. Not appropriate, but not a huge deal. But in this situation, it was catastrophic.

The young woman was extremely sensitive. The recent assault left her jumpy, nervous, and unable to stand up for herself.

She didn't feel comfortable speaking up and spent an hour feeling further violated. 

I was heartbroken a few days later when the situation was brought to my attention! 

Our job as therapists is to make clients feel comfortable. We have a responsibility to tap into our intuitive sense to see when our client's unspoken needs are not being met.

WE ARE NEVER TO TELL SOMEONE THEY MUST TAKE OFF MORE CLOTHING THAN THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE!

Chances are good we are working on people with turbulent touch histories. We need to be sensitive!

We must be vigilant in our observations. Sensitive in our approach. And avoid getting stuck in ruts. Each client has a complexity of emotions and past histories that they bring to the table, and it is our job to be aware of this range of experiences.

Our job is to develop tools that allow us to give fabulous treatments regardless of whether or not a client is fully clothed because healthy touch is an essential healing tool!

Setting your massage rates is one of the most diff Setting your massage rates is one of the most difficult things to determine in the beginning of your massagepreneur journey.

If you have yet to determine your rates, I know this might feel daunting and that you have undoubtedly spent much time lamenting over it, but now is the time to set your prices once and for all! 

However, before you arbitrarily pick a number out of thin air, I want you to do a little research/homework/reflection. 

Setting rates is a tricky thing.

Charge too little, and you will be in the poor house. Charge too much, and you risk pricing yourself out of the market. 

BUT it is important to note that often people perceive those with lesser prices as less than therapists. Charging a higher price might actually make you more appealing. 

Oh, they charge a lot, they must be good! 

Food for thought.

Have you ever heard, "No publicity is bad publicit Have you ever heard, "No publicity is bad publicity?" While it isn't entirely true, there is something to this notion!

Lately, I have been encouraging therapists to contact their local publications with press releases to get featured in their local news sources. 

While promoting yourself in this way can be intimidating, it IS your job as a business owner to put yourself out there and ensure you are being seen! 

Let's first talk briefly about what a press release is. A press release is a tool you write to a news outlet to announce something newsworthy that you want them to cover in their publication. The purpose of a press release is to get coverage and get noticed by a target audience.

Some Ideas for Press Releases Include:

🖤Opening Your Business
🖤Adding Unique Modalities
🖤Classes or Events You Are Hosting
🖤Touch Deprivation and Massage Benefits

Steps Involved: 

1) Identify who to address your press release to. 
2) Properly format your release. 
3) Include useful and timely statistics. 
4) Make your hook obvious.
5) Supply high-quality images. 

When you successfully follow these steps, you will be amazed as your name and image gets shared all over town! 

If you choose to reach out to your local news sources through a press release, I would LOVE to hear how it goes for you or has gone for you in the past! Please share!!!
