2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone Mochee

Jasmine had worked as a Massage Therapist in spas before starting up her own mobile practice. She mentioned to us that when she was employed at the spa, she had more than one encounter with a patient who didn’t want to be treated by her because she is a black therapist. We invited Jasmine in to speak about her experiences with racist patients, how she handles the situation, how the spa handles it and could handle it, and how Jasmine reacted to the experiences. It’s sad that the conversation has to happen but we cannot stop talking about important issues until they aren’t issues anymore. But of course, in true 2 RMTs and a mic fashion, the three of us had some fun even while discussing a heavy topic.

Megan is a Registered Massage Therapist and founder of Slow Medicine Company in Toronto. We invited her in to talk about her company and her journey through massage. Megan is a yoga instructor and was the person who got Amanda interested in yoga many years ago with her unique style of helping her students gain more body awareness and mind body connection into their practice. We didn’t expect the conversation that developed but we got to hear a beautiful story of Megan’s unique journey from leaving home as a teen, travelling alone as a young girl, gaining self awareness, and ultimately deciding on a career as a massage therapist. Listen to a story about another amazing human who helps other humans.

We had a sit down with 2 people from the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association (CMMOTA). We met Heather, the Executive Director, and April, the conference coordinator, at the CMMOTA spring conference this past May in Saskatchewan. These two women really strive to provide a supportive environment for therapists and bring quality education and advocacy for their members. We have been invited back to their fall conference next month and we are so excited to work with them and the awesome therapists we will meet in Alberta. The conference is open to both members and non members so listen to hear what this association is up to!
