Just a reminder to all the massage therapists out there that it is not your job to be a miracle worker!!!! It is your job to hold space for the miracles to happen.

Yes, sometimes massage therapists are able to provide incredible transformations. There is nothing wrong with striving to achieve results for your clients, but sometimes, achieving results go beyond what your hands are capable of OR the result requires more work for the client to do outside of bodywork alone.

We should always remember as massage therapists that our worth and the value that we provide is not driven by our ability to “fix” a clients physical issue. It is driven by the quality of space we hold, how much we care, how we educate ourselves, and how we continue showing up.

It can be easy to be hard on yourself and feel like you have to solve your clients every ache and pain, and that is just not doable or realistic.

Holding is sometimes when the greatest things for our client can occur. The moment when they realize how much they deeply needed the time to simply relax, the time they spend allowing their nervous system to unwind, the reminders given about stretching, strengthening, and general self care. The space massage and bodywork gives a client can allow them to “reset” their self care rhythm and tune into what their body truly needs beyond just the bodywork we can give.

Just the other day, I had a client who kept having persistent cramping. It was something we both noticed in all of his sessions and something he dealt with off the table. He really enjoyed having his legs worked, but they would always cramp when I moved into work on them, even with light touch. He decided to start taking magnesium and increasing his electrolytes and the cramping went away completely. At our last session we were able to massage his legs and feet thoroughly and he said, “if it wasn’t for these massages, I would have never made that change.”

You are an amazing massage therapist. You don’t need to “fix” everyone you see. You just have to hold space for them to relax, be present in their bodies, and encourage them to do it more consistently. We all need this kind of space holding!

We don’t know every path to success for massage therapy because there are so many. But we do know our own path to peace, abundance and fulfillment in this industry.

From booking out our practice, building a monthly membership that made finances consistent and predictable, and expanding into an online business in the bodywork industry… we learned how to grow a career that was not only sustainable and fruitful, but also incredibly freeing.

We learned how to market ourselves through content creation and paid ads that not only rewarded our practice but also gave us the skills to build our dreams further here online. We were able to create a life where we can take clients just 15 days out of the month, still make 6 figures in our practice, and then the rest of the month we can rest & do online work in the industry we love.

The path that brought us peace was learning marketing, not just massage. It was really learning how to structure a business, and doing so in a way that was holistic and honors the life we want to live. The path was not overworking & undercharging, but building a solid practice with a membership model, coupled with expansion beyond the table for true financial freedom and longevity in this field.

Now, we have the privilege of teaching this to massage therapists and bodywork entrepreneurs all around the world through the blueprint we created. What a gift!💕

Massage IS healthcare ✨

This doesn’t mean you should break your back for your clients, that you shouldn’t educate your clients on what might work better for their goals, or that you should do things you don’t enjoy. This simply means that if you want clients to truly enjoy you as their massage therapist, you should listen to what they are looking for out of their massage experience, and either provide that for them, or point them in the right direction for what they are looking for!

Some clients don’t want their bodies turned into a puzzle. They just want their back rubbed and to feel good. Some clients want a very firm pressure, and to not be told why that won’t work. Some clients want a very light pressure, and to not be told that they need firm pressure to feel better. Some clients want to work very functionally and are willing to do the active, therapeutic techniques and don’t want a fluff and buff.

It’s okay if you like to work a particular way, but it’s also important to listen to what a client is looking for, validate, educate, and give them the massage they are looking to receive ❤️

If there’s one thing we have been super successful at helping other massage therapist with, it’s building memberships in their practices 🙌🏼

Memberships can not only transform your business, but your LIFE!!! & we have the privilege of being able to say we have helped HUNDREDS of massage therapists build membership programs in their practices 🥹

Membership based business models are extremely successful and sustainable. This is especially true for wellness based businesses like massage & bodywork therapies! Clients love memberships. It makes massage something consistent in their life and budget; it makes getting massage every month EASIER, which is the goal ✨

Imagine a business where your bills are paid the start of every month, client retention is rock solid, you have a waitlist of clients eager to join your exclusive little club, and you don’t have to worry so much about week to week appointments.

If you’d like to build your membership, comment “blueprint” to purchase our best selling business course which will help you design, launch & market your membership 🚀

The goal is not to do this but sometimes it happens okay?!?😂

I read something before that said people want to work for themselves so they can avoid having an a**hole boss, but then they start working for the biggest a**hole, which is themselves 🤠

This made me chuckle because it can be so true. It’s taken consistent effort on my end to build a business that supports the life I desire to live and to not feel guilty about it. Still, I’d rather work triple as hard working for my dream than anyone else’s ✨

Comment & share if you relate 🙌🏼

This is the kind of mindset shift we walk therapists through inside the Bodywork Business Blueprint. Your hands deserve a business that supports them, not just one that uses them🙌🏼

Most of what massage therapy changes doesn’t happen in the muscle first.
It happens in the nervous system.

We’ve been taught to think in terms of pressure:
“deeper is better,”
“break it up,”
“work it out.”

But when you look at the research, there’s very little evidence that massage literally breaks apart tissue the way we imagine. People are not puddy, not clay to be molded. We are composed of living, highly innervated tissues.

What is well supported is the way touch changes how the nervous system processes sensation, safety, and pain. That’s where the real magic happens.

When the nervous system feels safe, tissues soften. When the brain turns down threat, the body lets go. When someone can relax into the work, their system actually allows change.

& here’s where DNIC (diffuse noxious inhibitory controls) comes in.

Pain Inhibits Pain. For some people, firm or intense pressure can trigger the body’s built-in pain-relief systems and create real relief. Not because we’re “smashing knots,” but because the nervous system shifts how it interprets sensation.

So it’s not that deep work is bad, and it’s not that light work is better.

It’s that results come from regulation, not force. From helping the body feel safe enough to change, not trying to overpower it.

Lately, I’ve been feeling called to create something different for massage therapists. Not another technique course, but a deeper dive into the nuance of our work:

• how the nervous system actually drives results
• DNIC & gate control theory in real practice
• trigger points vs adhesions
• tissue states instead of “knots”
• working with the body, not against it

A course for therapists who want to be more evidence-based, thoughtful, and intentional in how they work, without losing the art of massage.

Lesson 1: It’s hard, but not impossible. & it’s definitely not reserved for “special” people. It takes grit, yes- but it’s far more doable than most massage therapists believe. The real barrier isn’t ability. It’s belief in yourself and carving out the time for it. If you can build an in-person massage practice, you can build an online business in this industry, too.

Lesson 2: Audience doesn’t pay the bills. Offers do! Our biggest mistake was waiting too long to create our first product. We focused on growth of our social media pages before building the backend. Everything shifted when we stopped just building an audience and started building an actual business- systems, software, and a clear offer. We took the same skills that we used to book out our practice and figured out how those translated online. That got the money rolling in.

Lesson 3: Longevity comes from diversifying beyond the table.
When we launched our first digital product, we started seeing the fruits of our labor. This finally created the freedom to scale back to 15 days of hands-on work a month & build a career flow that supports rest, family, and long-term sustainability. The belief that massage could only live at the table had to die for everything else to grow.

We encourage every bodyworker to build a solid foundation in their own practice before expanding into online income so you can nail the basics of business & step into your online journey with real stability under your feet (which the Bodywork Business Blueprint is designed to help you do!) If you’re thinking, “My practice is already successful, is the Bodywork Business Blueprint still for me?” the answer is yes. Inside the Blueprint is an entire segment called the Online Income Blueprint- a complete, comprehensive course on how bodyworkers turn their skills, experience, & knowledge into sustainable online income. It walks you through discovering what you can create, how to package it, and how to build real revenue beyond the table, so your success doesn’t have to stop at your schedule.

2025 taught us something we didn’t expect.
Growth doesn’t look like linear progress. It looks like endurance. It looks like getting 1% better through all the failures.

This was the year of car accidents, missed launches, software chaos, ice storms, hotel stays, unexpected pregnancy, health scares, renovations, and learning what it really means to run a business through real life.

And through all these ups and downs we built a business that lasted. We helped hundreds of therapists grow their income. We proved that systems matter more than trends and done is better than perfect.

We didn’t hit every number we wanted to hit.
But we became better business owners, better leaders, and more grounded humans because of it.

So now we’re stepping into 2026 and we couldn’t be more excited.

Let 2026 be the year you build a business that supports your life, even when sh*t hits the fan.

Comment BLUEPRINT and we’ll send you the step-by-step system we use to help massage therapists create the business they deserve.

Let’s make this your strongest year yet.

Your social media posts aren’t turning into massage clients because the way social media works has changed.

There was a time when educational, tip-based content performed really well and could lead to new bookings. Posts like:
“Pre-massage tips”
“3 reasons massage helps stress”
“5 reasons to get a massage”

But these posts don’t work as well as they used to. People get that information in 10 seconds from Google or ChatGPT.

What they can’t get from AI is you.

Your perspective.
Your philosophy around the body.
The way you see pain, tension, healing, rest, and care.
The moments where someone reads your words and feels seen and heard.

People don’t book because of tips anymore.
They book because they feel safe with you.
They resonate with you.
They trust how you think about your work and how you treat your clients.

This shift is exactly why we created our newest mini-course, STOP POSTING TIPS: A new way for massage therapists to create content.

Inside the training you’ll get:
✨ a short, grounded video breaking down what’s actually working right now
✨ 180+ perspective-based content prompts
✨ zero trend-chasing, zero fluff, just real ways to sound like yourself online

And as a bonus, this $17 standalone mini-course includes 30 days free inside the THB Collective so you can explore additional trainings, resources, and direct mentorship with us.

If posting has started to feel heavy, forced, or disconnected, this will help.

Those “knots” you feel under your hands aren’t chunks of muscle tissue that need to be broken apart.

They’re not scar tissue you have to smash. They’re not adhesions you need to overpower.

Scar tissue CAN be mechanically influenced with manual therapy.
It’s a structural change- collagen laid down after injury or surgery- and skilled, progressive loading and hands-on work can help improve its mobility.

But the most common “knots” people feel are trigger points, and trigger points are different.

Trigger points are areas of heightened sensitivity and increased tone that are held in place by the nervous system, not glued together by tissue that needs to be torn apart.

They’re part of a conversation happening between the brain, nerves, and muscles.

When the nervous system perceives threat, overload, fatigue, or repeated stress, it increases protective tone. Muscles stay guarded. Sensitivity increases. Pain signals amplify.

What you feel as a “knot” is often the body doing its job, creating stability and protection.

Massage doesn’t work because we’re stronger than the tissue. It works because touch changes how the nervous system interprets sensation.

Through mechanisms like:
• Gate Control Theory: where non-threatening touch competes with pain signals at the spinal cord
• Descending inhibition (DNIC): where the brain releases its own pain-relieving chemicals
• Parasympathetic activation: shifting the body out of defense and into safety

Skilled touch tells the nervous system:
“You’re okay. You don’t need to hold here anymore.”

And that is when tone changes.
That’s when trigger points soften.
That’s when relief spreads.

Massage isn’t about breaking people down.
It’s about helping the brain, nerves, and muscles work together again.

When therapists understand this, their work becomes more effective and their careers become more sustainable.
