2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone Mochee

Katie is co-founder of For Health’s Sake, a multidisciplinary clinic with 2 locations in Toronto. Her and her business partner, Chloe had a very organic career progression starting out as RMT friends working in clinics, to venturing out and staring their own mobile practice, to opening their first clinic, then their second, and now they’re franchising the business and a third location will be coming soon. This is a unique business and we wanted to speak to these RMTs to learn about what it takes to get to this step in clinic ownership. Listen to hear the story of For Health’s Sake.

Roxana is a Licensed Massage Therapist practicing in Virginia who emailed us about a local ordinance that quietly passed which has LMTs in certain counties feeling defeated and overwhelmed. The Massage Therapists affected by these local regulations feel they are being punished and lumped into a category they do not belong. As healthcare professionals they do not want to be categorized with certain adult industries. Roxana is doing everything she can do to raise awareness of what is happening around her because she says it’s happening elsewhere and it isn’t right. Roxana Paduretu can be contacted online if you want to get involved or learn more.
