Health & WellnessBe More! Business-Minded Opportunities for Massage Therapists
Post by new guest blogger Steph Lasch, LMT, CFT This is my first blog entry for the WIBB. I’m truly excited to be providing quality content here and talking about some of the things I’m passionate about, besides being a massage therapist. I love talking about business, finance and operations in the spa &... Inquiring Minds Want to KnowI’ve spent the past couple of weekends teaching at AMTA meetings; first in SC and this past week in Alaska. One of the classes I taught at both meetings was “Using Research to Market Your Massage Therapy Practice.” I’ve been on my research soapbox for a while now. The big question is, “Who gives... Bridging the Gap; Referring Other CAM Disciplines
If you know of something that may help a client, are you inclined to share that information? (I HOPE the answer to this question was YES.) Because the truth is, as a healthcare professional, your client looks to you for advice and direction to not only alleviate symptoms but to provide long term solutions... The Best Shape Of Your Life
I don’t have to tell you how physically demanding this profession is. Standing on your feet all day, leaning over, lunging, holding heavy arms and legs, sometimes sacrificing your alignment to benefit someone else’s body…. not to mention the strain on thumbs, wrists, elbows, fingers, shoulders….it can add up to aches at the end of... Legislative Hullabaloos in WV and TNAs usual, the opinions on my blog are my opinions and not to be construed as the opinions of anyone else.

In spite of my attendance at one of Michael Reynolds‘ brilliant presentations on how to be an e-mail ninja and have a “zero inbox,” I confess I just haven’t gotten there. And I’m wading through a field of spam. I have... My 10 Top Predictions for 2012 Irene Diamond’s Top 10 Predictions for Health & Wellness Practitioners for 2012 I’ve been in the Health and Wellness industry for over 2 decades, since 1985. (That’s longer than some of you have been alive!) I’ve seen the industry ebb and flow, therapists thrive, and barely survive, and some, therapists close the doors to... Give Yourself the Gift of Self Care this Holiday Season
With the holiday season now in full swing, you are probably putting in the extra effort – staying up late writing e-newsletters, upping your marketing and advertising, taking last minute appointments for clients, visiting relatives, and booking your schedule solid because your own holiday bills are mounting. During this time, it’s very tempting to... Is Health a De-Valued Commodity?
I ask you this because I have truly been taking stock of things in my life and the way I manage myself and my health. Upon further consideration, I began to realize that I am not alone in slighting my own needs, and that most Americans value their health by one simple litmus strip;... Investing in Your Health
In our practice, my partner and I are often met with an answer of “I wish I could afford to… receive massage more regularly/use essential oils/buy nutritional supplements, etc”. In the past we subscribed to this same mentality in our personal lives and in our business, but we chose to shift our paradigm concerning... | |||||||||
