  1. Trust, Team Culture, and Taking a Vacation: Behind the Scenes with Clinic Owner Krista Dicks

    Trust, Team Culture, and Taking a Vacation: Behind the Scenes with Clinic Owner Krista Dicks

    What started as a conversation about “when your business becomes the boss” quickly turned into one of the most honest and empowering deep dives into clinic ownership I’ve had on the show. In this episode, I talk with Krista Dicks, RMT — host of The Radical Massage Therapist podcast and clinic owner with Align Massage Therapy. Krista brings 19 years of hands-on experience and 3 years of clinic ownership wisdom. She opens up about her journey into leadership, the mentorship that shaped her, and how she’s built a successful clinic while still protecting her boundaries, her energy, and her life outside the treatment room. We talk about: The moment she realized her business was running her How to stop people-pleasing your team Why boundaries make you a better clinic owner Why hiring on “good human” vs. “perfect fit” is overrated Navigating entitlement in today’s massage therapy market The importance of extreme ownership (and why it changes everything) How to build trust so your team actually runs the clinic smoothly The importance of systems — even down to the thermostat Why a successful clinic should be able to run without you  And how you can build a business model that supports your life — not the other way around If you’re a massage therapist thinking about hiring, renting rooms, growing a team, or stepping into ownership… or if you already own a clinic and want it to feel lighter, simpler, and more aligned — this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

    Holding Space for Others Without Losing Yourself

    In this deeply personal and professional episode, Amy Bradley Radford opens up about her most difficult season — walking through cancer diagnoses, loss, and caregiving across her family — and how those experiences reshaped her understanding of Neutral Space, compassion, and healing. Amy shares how even healers reach a breaking point, what compassion fatigue really looks like for massage therapists, and how to return to center through grounding, allowing, and letting go. With honesty, humor, and heart, she offers a map for staying steady in the storm — whether that storm is at the massage table or in your own life. You’ll learn: What compassion fatigue looks and feels like for bodyworkers. How Neutral Space protects your energy and your clients’ healing. The seven elements of holding space without over-giving. Why allowing, not forcing, creates deeper healing outcomes. Amy’s real-life journey through loss, burnout, and rediscovering balance.

    How to Build Your Massage Clientele in 90 Days

    In this episode of Massage. Business. Success., Amy shares the personal story that inspired her proven 90-Day Referral System—a strategy she created after relaunching her massage practice and realizing her old clients weren’t returning as easily as she’d hoped. What started as a moment of panic turned into one of the most powerful business lessons of her career. Amy explains why referrals are the most authentic and effective way to build a massage practice, and she breaks down her 3-Part Referral Strategy: how to inspire clients to refer, how to reward them in a way that motivates, and how to welcome new clients so they immediately feel connected. She also explores the ripple effect of referrals, how to avoid overwhelming your schedule, and why trust and gratitude are the foundation of a thriving practice. This episode isn’t just about filling appointments—it’s about building a business rooted in connection, integrity, and sustainability. Amy’s approach shows massage therapists how to grow a steady, full schedule in 90 days without relying on expensive ads or gimmicks.

    The Massage Business Audit: Where Are You Leaking Time, Energy, Or Money?

    Are you feeling stretched too thin, running on empty, or wondering where all your hard work is actually going? In this empowering and honest episode, Amy walks you through a candid, interactive audit of your massage business—helping you identify where time, energy, and money are slipping through the cracks. Because here’s the truth: most massage therapists aren’t failing… they’re just leaking. This episode is for you if: You’re constantly behind, overwhelmed, or booking on your days off “just this once.” You feel run over by client demands but aren’t sure how to set boundaries without guilt. Your bank account isn’t reflecting the amount of work you’re putting in. You suspect your systems (or lack of them) are draining your momentum—and your joy. You’ll learn: How to spot subtle time drains that sabotage your schedule and sanity. The mindset shift every self-employed therapist must make to thrive long-term. Amy’s practical strategies for batching, automating, and setting unapologetic boundaries. How energy leaks show up in client relationships—and what to do about them. The financial blind spots that cost you more than you realize (and how to fix them without fear). Plus: Amy shares an eye-opening reframe around pricing, boundaries, and the emotional toll of “people-pleasing policies” that are holding your business back. If your business feels like it’s running you instead of the other way around, this episode will hand the reins back to you—with grace, clarity, and a touch of tough love. Grab some paper and  listen with a pen handy to get ready to reclaim your business one smart shift at a time. Because you don’t need a new business—you just need to fix the leaks and let your magic flow again.  TIME STAMPS 00:00 Introduction to the Massage Business Audit03:41 Identifying Time Leaks in Your Business06:22 Setting Healthy Boundaries08:49 Redefining Time and Money in Self-Employment11:35 The Importance of Planning13:52 Maximizing Efficiency and Batching Tasks16:18 Automating Business Processes21:13 Addressing Energy Leaks24:10 Understanding Money Leaks26:26 Realignment and Moving Forward FREE GUIDE: "Discover Your Value" FREE Q & A: "What Are Your Questions?"
