Customer Reviews
Wow! What a delight.
I was so happy to come across this podcast. Corey Rivera is a natural. Her research, editing and content are so professional, and the thoughts she shares about massage and healing are compelling. Five stars, Corey! I am excited to hear more.
Just what this industry needs
Whenever I struggle to put into words what massage therapy is, who it’s for and what role it is has in health care, I only have to listen to this podcast to be reminded about our purpose, our challenges and our community. If every massage therapist had to listen to one podcast episode before graduating, I recommend the Feb 14 one. Corey, in short order, both defines our profession and captures how it can be so difficult to find consensus on how we talk about touch.
Love this podcast!
What's on my mind is how much I'm loving the "Rub" podcasts with Corey! Corey, you are so funny, smart and engaging. The podcasts are informative, contentious in an amusing way, and enjoyable to listen to. Thanks for bringing forward this talent, Corey. I look forward to more. 💓
