EPISODE 013: Respect Massage with Joyce Gauthier

Sexual solicitations are a problem in the massage industry. Anyone who has spent any length of time in the industry knows this.

Maybe you have experienced this issue in your practice. Maybe not. Either way, it is an important topic to discuss.

But, just because it is a problem in our industry does not mean we can’t take steps to protect ourselves. Because we can!

In this month’s episode, we interview Joyce Gautier of The Respect Massage Movement. Joyce has made it her mission to empower massage therapists as they create safe working environments. She has done all the research and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this topic.

Joyce offers therapists the steps necessary to protect themselves. With a vast array of resources from stickers to verbiage to put on their website to continue ed classes, she aims to help therapists deter sexual solicitations in their practice.

Tune in as we talk clothing, getting down in a small town, education, and even a bit about sailing. It is a fun-filled episode based on a serious topic in our industry.

It was such an honor to have Joyce on the podcast! She is doing some amazing work for the massage field. Bridging the gap from what school teaches to what actually happens in the industry.

We hope you enjoy the show!

Did you know my program "Massage In The Real World Did you know my program "Massage In The Real World: The Complete Guide for Bridging the Gap from School to Thriving Practice" is open for enrollment? 

I am soooo excited to welcome another round of students into the program!

My program has been carefully laid out to include everything you need to make it as an entrepreneur in the massage world.⁣ ⁣ If you've been waiting to launch your massage biz, maybe due to COVID or because you are scared or afraid to fail, this is the program for you!⁣ 

When I was in massage school, I noticed a severe gap in the information being provided to therapists versus what it actually took to be a thriving, successful entrepreneur.⁣ ⁣ 

It broke my heart to watch therapist after therapist struggle to get their business off the ground!⁣ ⁣ In school, it feels like a warm cocoon. A bubble of love and healing light! We are insulated from a lot of the realities we face in the field!⁣ ⁣ Now, I don't want to burst that bubble. I think the world needs as much love and healing light as possible! 

Instead, my goal is to equip therapists with the tools necessary to share their light while also kicking ass as informed, prepared, confident entrepreneurs!⁣ ⁣ 

Inside the program, I teach you how to overcome your fears, practice in ethical ways, gain traction, and increase your dollar bills!⁣ ⁣ 

​"Massage In The Real World" is about creating and launching profitable, sustainable, ethical massage businesses that set you up for a life of success!⁣ ⁣ 

Here, you join a community of highly motivated massage therapists, get a step-by-step guide to launching a business "right" the first time, and receive support along the way!⁣ ​⁣ I'd love to personally invite you into my program. ⁣DM me for details.

Step off the hamster wheel and commit to yourself!⁣ I hope to see you on the other side!⁣

What does a sober living group and massage busines What does a sober living group and massage business marketing have in common? You may just be surprised by the answer! 

In the latest episode of "Align with The Massage Business Mama," we dig into a unique approach to marketing your practice. 

Instead of pushing, pushing to get people through your door, we discuss a better way. We discuss the idea of attraction. How sharing what we are passionate about in life and massage can draw in our ideal clients like magnets on a fridge. 

This is a subtle mindset shift that can have profound effects on the health of our business!
