#083 Hope For The Best But Then Plan For The Worst with Thomas Thorne, Investment and Insurance Broker

#083 Hope For The Best But Then Plan For The Worst with Thomas Thorne, Investment and Insurance Broker

As a massage therapist, have you ever been asked if your hands are insured? Have you thought about how you are going to save for retirement as a self-employed massage therapist? How long could you survive on your savings if you received a life changing diagnosis?


On this podcast I want to bring you the topics and guests that will help you become the best version of yourself- to show you the ways of a radical massage therapist and how to work smarter, not harder. Protecting yourself, your career, and your loved ones is part of being a radical massage therapist.


Introducing Thomas Thorne, investment and insurance broker to the podcast has been a priority of mine for awhile. Having him explain the differences between insurance- life, disability, and critical illness as well as discussing the variety of ways we can and should be saving for our retirement may seem overwhelming in the moment but, I hope this episode sparks a curiosity and a desire to have more of these conversations with the right resources.


I hope this episode curbs any skepticism and helps you develop a plan for your future.

#081 CBD For Self-Care; Massage Therapist and Client with Kumi Taylor, LMT

What if you experienced chronic pain after a car accident and suffered for 13 years without a resolution? What if the pain kept you from work as a massage therapist and you had to consider leaving the profession? What would you have to lose by trying CBD?

Kumi Taylor has been a licensed massage therapist in Texas for more than 20 years. In 2005 she was in a car accident that caused excruciating neck pain. CBD really improved my quality of life and she started retailing it in 2018 when it became federally legal. http://www.kumismassagestudio.com/

#063 Go With the Flow and Sync Your Schedule with Samantha Storozuk, RMT

Jumping right into today’s episode we are discussing cycle syncing and how we can work with our bodies instead of against them. If you are a person who menstruates or you know someone who does, you will recognize that not everyday is amazing and in fact some days feel absolutely terrible. Over the course of a month you can feel different physically, mentally, and emotionally every single day. My guest Samantha Storozuk has a fascination with this topic and I am super excited to speak with her on how we can “flip the script.” Instead of powering through the month accepting it is what it is- we can take power to understand our cycle and schedule our month to optimize the highs and choose rest on the lows. The benefits of this career is that we have independence and we are in charge of our own bodies, and our own schedules. I hope you enjoy this episode with Samantha!


ABOUT OUR GUEST

Samantha Storozuk, RMT is a Registered Massage Therapist since 2016, she now co-owns Marchdale Massage in Ottawa, ON.
Sam has an eclectic mix of topics she's passionate about, that she applies to her own personal practice and Massage Therapy in general. Want to see her really light up? Ask her about her latest fascination - it's always something new! Currently she's on about the Cycle Syncing method, Spin class, finding the MOST comfortable underwear (it's key!), budgeting & investing.

Intrigued? I was and I'm so glad I was able to connect with DJ in his area of expertise! 

Not only does DJ give us "the seven stages of practice ownership" but he reveals why most massage therapists get stuck at stage 4.

#048 How Your Space Impacts Your Success with Carolyn Boldt

Your brick and mortar space is an extension of you and it represents the expertise your ideal patients are looking for. If you wonder why patients aren't rebooking or referring even though they tell you it was an excellent massage- what's going on? In this episode you will discover that your physical location has even more of an impact on how your patient feels over the great work you do as a massage therapist! You will learn from Carolyn Boldt, an interior designer and VP of Crossfields Chiropractic Design who specializes in holistic spaces to elevate the public perception of healthcare practitioners including chiropractors and massage therapists. Whether you own multiple clinics, you work as an independent contractor, or you rent a small room in an office building there are helpful takeaways in this episode for you.

ABOUT CAROLYN BOLDT

Thirty years ago, Carolyn was faced with a hard decision: doctors wanted to remove her
daughter's tonsils, but she was hesitant to have her two-year-old daughter undergo surgery at such a young age. Today, thanks to chiropractic care, Carolyn’s daughter still has her tonsils. The impact of that care on her daughter’s life would make Carolyn a lifelong advocate of holistic healthcare. In 2004, Carolyn and her husband co-founded CrossFields as a design-build firm in Atlanta, and in 2011 they changed their focus to improving the public’s perception of alternative medicine, and highlighting the power of holistic healthcare. CrossFields has helped hundreds of
practitioners across the country expand their practices and reach higher levels of success by maximizing space, attracting and retaining patients, and saving money.

#047 Should You Take Courses In Your First Year of Massage Practice? Krista Dicks, RMT

#047 Should You Take Courses In Your First Year of Massage Practice? Krista Dicks, RMT

If you are a new massage therapist and you are beginning to discover all the amazing courses, modalities, techniques, trainings, retreats, workshops, seminars etc that you can take to enhance your career- I bet you feel like you want to take them all now. Like, right now! Maybe you have something in mind in order to work with a specific population, you want to go deeper on a technique you learned in school, or you have seen something that "looks cool" and you want to try. On the other hand, maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by all the options and since continuing education plays a big role in maintaining your practice you are willing to take anything just to earn the credits and maintain practice standards. Either way I have some thoughts on whether or not you should take courses in your first year of practice. If you are beyond your first year in practice I would love it if you shared your feedback!

#040 How can we be advocates for massage therapy?: Don Dillon, RMT, Speaker, Practice Coach

#040 How can we be advocates for massage therapy?: Don Dillon, RMT, Speaker, Practice Coach

“We should expect results from our professional association the same way our patients and clients expect results from us everyday” - Don Dillon, RMT

...

This episode of The Radical RMT podcast features Don Dillon, RMT. Don is a practitioner, speaker, and practice coach. He began his massage practice in 1991 and he has worked in chiropractic, spa, and medical facilities before operating his own clinic in a fitness club for many years. He now has a home based practice in the Niagara area. Don has written articles appearing in several professional publications in Canada, US, and Australia. Don has received the Ontario Massage Therapist Association President’s Award of Merit, Two Hand of Thanks certificates, and the Ken Rezsnyak award. This award is bestowed annually to a member who embodies the true meaning of the profession in addition to going above and beyond for the betterment of the profession. In 2012 Don was honoured with ONE concept’s Massage Therapist of the Year award in Canada. 

Don is here to talk about Advocacy and how we can be better advocates for our massage profession in order to move our profession forward. I was glad to have Don on the podcast to discuss this topic as I often feel useless when it comes to knowing what I can do that will make a difference. He delivers with clear, tangible steps we can all take big or small in order to remain active in communicating with our peers, educating the public, and the ways we can ask our association to deliver results.

I would love to hear how this episode has inspired you and the small steps you are taking to advocate for massage therapy and the future of our profession.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
