Welcome to the Honest Practice Blueprint — a podcast for Registered Massage Therapists who want a practice that’s ethical, sustainable, and regulator-safe. I’m Mike Reoch. Like most RMTs, I didn’t learn business, consent, or documentation in school — I learned by making mistakes and fixing them. This podcast is about clear systems, honest conversations, and protecting your license while still earning a living you can stand behind. No hype. No shortcuts. Just real practice, done well.
