2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone Mochee

Rebekah is a soon-to-be LMT in New York who has created a community of followers primarily on TikTok through her videos following her through Massage College. She originally set out to be a Phyical Therapist but decided to take the path of Massage Therapy instead. She noticed that the perception of Massage Therapy online, in her own circle, and through the public’s eyes was not what she wanted to portray. Her TikToks educate people on what massage is, what the education and clinicals are really like, and what to expect when you see a therapist. We talked about the positives that have come from her social media, the hate, keeping yourself safe, privacy concerns, and what her goals are. Follow Rebekah @healedbyparis on all social platforms.

We did a recording from our basement this week after a wild week that all started at the gym. This is Amanda’s story from finding out that she has endometriosis four months ago, to being told it’s stage four and you will need surgery right now. I’m sharing this because it is still mind blowing how fast this all happened, what signs I saw, what signs I ignored, and just what the human body is capable of. Listen to my story as I recover from surgery and begin a new journey with aggressive endometriosis.

Career evolution is a dynamic and ongoing process that varies for each individual based on their aspirations, experiences, and circumstances. Adaptability, resilience, and a willingness to embrace change are essential traits for navigating these complexities. Check out this sit down we had with Cindy. Cindy flipped her career from Banking IT to Massage Therapy. Although still pretty new in the massage world, she has done and is planning on doing some pretty cool things. Listen in a we rap about her move away from a high paying secure job to her decision to enroll in a massage therapy program, how COVID was a catalyst for her work as part of the Canadian Massage Conference team, moving her treatments from the table to the floor, motorcycles, different philosophies behind goal setting, and her secret 3 year plan… We love a cool conversation the blooms from an episode with no real plan.
