💔 Why We’re Going Live
Recently, our community was shaken by a deeply upsetting incident — a sexual assault committed by a massage therapist in our area.
As massage professionals, we are heartbroken and angry. This kind of act violates everything our profession stands for and damages the trust between clients and therapists.
Todd, as a male therapist, has felt this especially deeply — because he knows how this affects not only his work, but how clients see all therapists, and how it impacts the reputation of our entire wellness community.
We refuse to stay silent. We’re turning this moment into a chance to educate, protect, and advocate for change.
🎯 What We’ll Talk About
Join us for this short but powerful 30-minute conversation where we’ll discuss:
What happened, and why it’s so damaging to our field and our clients
How we protect your safety every time you step into our treatment space
Why Minnesota needs state-level massage regulation — and how it can prevent future tragedies
How you can help support new legislation that brings accountability and professionalism to our industry
🧭 How You Can Take Action
There’s a real opportunity right now to make a difference. Minnesota lawmakers are reviewing two bills that would establish massage therapy licensure and oversight across the state.
📜 Learn about the bills:
House File 362 (HF 362): https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94-2025/0/HF/362/
Senate File 1131 (SF 1131): https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=SF1131&session=ls94&session_number=0&session_year=2025
