The Ridiculousness of Local Regulations , with guest Roxana
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.

Having an Online Presence, with Guest Rebekah
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.

Surprise! You Need Surgery
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.
