Why Resident Rates Are Lower (And Why That’s Honest)

We want to be transparent about how Mader’s pricing works — because we think you deserve to know. 💬

Resident sessions are priced at a lower rate that reflects his entry-level experience as a newly licensed therapist. As his skills grow, his rates will grow too.

This isn’t “budget massage” — it’s honest pricing that matches where he is in his journey while giving you access to quality, mentored care.

Think of it as getting in early on someone who’s going places. 🌿

📅 Book Tuesday evenings, 5–9pm at the link in bio.

Your skin in April vs your skin in May

There’s something about an April facial that just hits different. 🌸

Maybe it’s the fresh start. Maybe it’s knowing summer is around the corner. Maybe it’s the complimentary hydrating mask we’re throwing in all month.

Whatever it is — your skin in May is going to thank your April self.

Chair massage = accessible, approachable, and impactful.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage — MLD explained

You've probably heard the term — but what is Manual Lymphatic Drainage actually?

MLD is a gentle, specialized massage technique that supports the body's lymphatic system. It's used to reduce swelling, support post-operative recovery, assist with lipedema management, and promote overall wellness.

For LMTs, adding MLD to your skill set opens doors to a whole new client population — and a deeply rewarding area of practice.

Our September CE course in Steilacoom covers all of this and more. Early bird pricing available until June 30. 👉 Link in bio to register.

Start learning before the in-person dates

Here's something we love about this course format:

You don't have to wait until September to start learning.

When you register and put down your 50% deposit, you get immediate access to all 21 hours of online course materials — anatomy, theory, pathology, technique foundations.

By the time you arrive in Steilacoom on September 19th, you'll already have a solid foundation. The in-person days become deeper, richer, and more effective because you're not starting from zero.

It's continuing education designed to respect your time and your intelligence. 🙌

Register now — $1,200 inc. tax | 50% deposit unlocks your online materials immediately 👇

If you or a loved one are navigating cancer treatment or recovery, you deserve care that feels safe, gentle, and supportive. Oncology massage is not just a softer massage—it’s a specialized approach tailored to the unique needs of people affected by cancer.

Who your MLD clients will actually be

When you're trained in MLD, who are you working with?

Clients who are ready to feel better in their bodies — and who haven't been able to find the right support yet.

Think: the client recovering from a cosmetic procedure who needs gentle post-op care. The person with lipedema who finally feels heard in a session. The athlete who wants faster recovery. The client with chronic sinus congestion or fibromyalgia who's tried everything else.

This course teaches MLD for the intact lymphatic system — giving you a safe, effective, evidence-informed technique that serves a wide range of real people walking through your door.

It's a meaningful specialty. And not many therapists in your area are likely offering it yet. 💙
