The Unprofessional Hour, with guest Teresa

2020/01/12

We are due for a light hearted good ol’ Unprofessional Hour aren’t we? Well we gave it the good ol’ college try! We had Teresa come hang out on our couch after meeting her at a ConEd Institute course recently because she was far from shy or filtered and seemed to be the perfect guest for an unprofessional chat. Well...this isn’t your typical unprofessional hour episode. Teresa is going through a college investigation and speaks very openly and candidly about why she’s being investigated, mistakes

We met our guest Jean at the Canadian Massage Conference in the fall and had many interesting talks about what it’s like being a Massage Therapist in a very small town. Jean is the ONLY massage Therapist in his town in Northern Ontario where he works with the only Chiropractor! Listen to him talk about his journey in Massage, moving to a small town, and being THE RMT that everybody knows. In a city where there are therapists in every corner, we enjoyed hearing about Jean’s practice which is fully

In this episode we hang out with a past student to see where life has taken her. We wanted Cindy to come on because she had a unique situation that may be relatable for some Massage Therapy students or even therapists currently practicing. Cindy had a passion and drive for massage but life really got in her way when trying to complete her diploma. She completed it finally and passed her OSCE on her first attempt! But then again, things happened, and now she’s sitting on our couch, two Massage

In part 2 of our mini series on dealing with negative reviews, we had Melanie come into our space who is a clinic owner here in Toronto. Melanie’s story is quite personal as the negative review personally attacked her, the clinic owner, and was so bad that google actually flagged it as hate. Melanie is used to dealing with some criticism, which is part of the job, but this review hurt her and she wanted to make sure her staff were protected as well. Listen to Melanie’s story and how she handles

Being a clinic owner means you have to have thick skin sometimes. Not everyone is going to share your vision and love the image and atmosphere you have created. But what do you do when someone leaves a fake review online and slanders you, your clinic, or your staff? In part 1 of our mini series on dealing with negative reviews, we speak to Dana, who owns a Massage Therapy clinic in a small town in Ontario and had someone leave a one star review of her clinic. The review spoke about services not even

2019/12/24

One of the best things about our profession is all of the different paths practitioners can take and the flexibility to create a career that suits your lifestyle and not the other way around. Joyce is sailing proof of that. Although she is not treating clients at this moment in her career (only because the logistics of having a practice on her boat are quite tricky), she has built an online community of Massage Therapists who offer help, support, and advice to one another. Now if that doesn’t make

We are always grateful when we get positive listener feedback. A few months ago we received a very nice message about the podcast and it turned out to be from a Massage Therapy educator, author, and clinician with more than 30 years experience. We were thrilled to know that Whitney Lowe, Massage Therapist in Oregon who is the author of Orthopedic Massage textbooks and founder of the Academy of Clinical Massage was one of our listeners! He has decided to start his own podcast to bring more education

Hanging with Entrepreneurs, with guest Melissa

2019/12/16

A question we ask many of our guests and many of our participants in our courses at ConEd Institute is “why did you want to get into Massage Therapy?” There’s a few typical answers but an overwhelming response is the flexibility and ability to be self employed. We meet a lot of therapists who say “I would like to own my own clinic one day”. But how many actually do? It’s a huge risk, it’s expensive, and it’s a LOT of work. Melissa never really wanted to own and operate her own business. She was

Do you play music while you do treatments? There’s so much diversity in our profession but we know that many therapists still use the tried and true ambient relaxation music that we all became accustomed to during Massage School. It’s calming, sets the tone for the treatment, and allows a person to clear their mind with its soft, rhythmic sounds. But have you ever thought about who makes this music? Well we found him! Steve, aka Luiniss had an injury in marching band which inspired him to become a

The Massage Therapists Association of Alberta contacted us to discuss what they described as "the frustrating landscape that makes up the Massage Therapy profession in Alberta". Alberta is one of the unregulated provinces in Canada and has 4 main Massage Therapy Associations. The MTAA has concerns about public safety, especially when it comes to sexual assault cases involving Massage Therapists and feels that there has to be a a complaints and disciplinary process which could only really be achieved

What do you know about concussions? Do you feel confident when working with a client who has had confirmed concussions, multiple concussions, or possible concussions? Do you know signs, symptoms, and how to test for the various neurological effects of a concussion? Do you know if you have/ what your role is as a Massage Therapist in managing concussions? If you work with athletes (or any human for that matter) it may be worth your while to listen to Conor clear up some misconceptions about

Jason contacted us because he wanted to speak about a type of therapy he has been learning about, offering to his clients, and now teaching to other Massage Therapists. Does Lomi Lomi ring a bell? We had another Massage Therapist and educator from Arizona on the podcast teaching us about this sacred Hawaiian practice and Jason wanted to expand on what she had to say. As a white man practicing in Texas, Jason wanted to be sure he stayed true to the Hawaiian way of practicing this therapy and keeping

Hiring Females Only, with guest Clarence

2019/11/27

We love a good rant don’t we? Clarence is fed up with the double standard that exists when posting job ads that blatantly ignore the law when it comes to gender discrimination. How is it that in our beloved profession it is acceptable to post a job ad for a “female massage therapist” only when it would NEVER be tolerated in any other profession especially if it were the other way around and excluding women. Clarence has been in this field for over a decade and he is well aware of some client

We love a good chat with an ambitious RMT! Sarah is the co-founder of a Mobile Massage Company that operates in the GTA and Ottawa called Mama Mobile Massage. Sarah contacted us because she hires many new grads and one of them told her about our podcast and she loved the idea! As a lover of continuing education, she has been referring people to us to listen in and we are always grateful for the support and couldn’t wait to return the favour and pick the brain of a business owner.

Here we go again! We had a ConEd student hang out post course and talk to us about all the interesting things she deals with in this profession. From over involved mothers waiting to brawl in the clinic parking lot, to preachers trying to bless an atheist and save her “soul”, to looking unprofessional, to cult like Continuing Education courses, and even sexist clients! Mindy has met some interesting characters in her short RMT career and she held nothing back. Mindy is one of the most animated

Sex testing in sport is something not talked about a lot and many may not actually know how much this actually takes place and the history behind it. We had Sandy, a PhD candidate on to speak about her research regarding the history of sex testing in sport and what problems continue to arise with this invasive practice. We were inspired to have this conversation by the controversy over trans female athletes competing with biological females in elite level sport and whether or not there is a true

Cassie is a Massage Therapy student who has been living with endo for years and has noticed that she feels like she has to validate her illness to people constantly because people don’t view this disease as debilitating as it actually can be and as it is in reality for Cassie. She speaks about the parallels with

Josh was one of our first guests way back when we started this podcast thing, well before we even really knew what we were doing, well before we discovered our voice, our groove. When we brought up the idea of having him on again to get deep about some of the stuff that he had been going through, he accepted...like a true champ.

Have you ever wondered what Matrix Repatterning is? Well we did too! Being in this industry we have heard of it, understood that it had to do with working on the body at a cellular level, but didn’t quite understand the theory behind it or what the assessment and treatment looked like from a Matrix Repatterning practitioner. Elsie and Julie asked to come by to attempt to explain this system to us. Not too sure we were the best students but it was a very interesting, informative, and fun
