Hi I am Paula.  I have been a massage therapist for the past 21 years so I do understand your pain.  Because I know how hard it is for massage therapists to build a practice (which is why most of them work for someone else at a much lower hourly rate), I have decided to become a business coach for massage therapists (or anyone else who wants to build a practice in the health and fitness industries: I have business coached yoga studio owners, dance studio owners, chiropractors, counselors, psychologists).
I have studied general business at Boise State University, and I have gone to www.ccui.com for my coaching education.  So you are in good hands.  I hope you come to my blog regularly as I begin to post things I want to share with you to help you make your practice more successful and profitable.  Please share with me your challenges, so I can post articles to help not only you but others like you who come to learn and grow their practices.
Cheers to your business success!
Business Coach Paula
