The Massage Project with Kristi Waltrip Kristi Waltrip

In this episode I candidly talk about the courage you must tap into to raise your rates, change your hours or clientele and walk away from your employer to start your own business.  Want to connect with me?  Check out the show notes below for some links.  

"When it comes to your massage business, if you aren't connected to your authentic self, if you're doing something within your practice that isn't aligned with who you are, because you're afraid of the discomfort of change, you're not alone. And there's a way for you to turn it around."

Hi, this is Kristi and you're listening to The Massage Project.  


I’ve been a massage therapist and educator for 17 years.  What lights me up and brings me the most joy is when I am spending time connecting, inspiring and educating fellow massage therapists.  I want to light your soul on fire and blow your mind as you hear from empowered massage professionals as they talk about their success stories, but also their challenges, fears and mistakes.  You’ll also hear what it takes to overcome the tough times, because, just like you, they had a desire to help people.  


This podcast is for you if you are a massage therapist, massage student or wellness professional and you love what you do - BUT YOU WANT MORE.  Something is pulling at your heart and you are craving more connection, more inspiration, more fulfillment.  You want opportunities to help MORE people……….and yes, you can say it.  You want to make more money.  


Maybe you are craving confidence to talk about your business, maybe you are feeling stuck in your career.  Maybe you’ve had an idea or dream for your massage business, but you are frozen in place.  You can’t think about getting to the finish line, because you haven’t been able to get started.  Or, maybe you’ve had a disappointment or setback with a massage business idea that didn’t work out, and now you’re defeated.  


Can I tell you something?  There is nothing wrong with you.   No matter what you’ve been through as a therapist, and no matter how new or seasoned a therapist you are.  Your idea or dream can happen.  But, you have to go after it.  


I know what it feels like to want more as a massage therapist, I have let fear and confusion paralyze me in the past.  I want to help you by sharing my story and other therapist stories.   I will be interviewing amazing massage therapists and wellness professionals who speak your language and will inspire you.


This podcast is not a space for perfect therapists, educators and business owners.  I don’t want to talk to people who have never made mistakes or never fought with feelings of self-doubt and failure.  I want to have deep and meaningful conversations with authentic people in the massage industry who have found personal fulfillment and achieved their goals and dreams in spite of their challenges.  


My first episode will launch September 12th, and new Episodes will drop every Tuesday on Apple and Spotify.  A second mini episode will drop once a week, because I want to encourage you and be your cheerleader throughout the week while you go on this journey of empowerment and showing up for yourself.  


I am so excited to share The Massage Project with you.  Do me a favor and Subscribe right now, leave a review, and share it with a friend.  I’ll talk to you soon!
