#148 Why Not Me? Designing a Sustainable Massage Career with Michelle Ratz-McGuire, RMT

#148 Why Not Me? Designing a Sustainable Massage Career with Michelle Ratz-McGuire, RMT

What if building a sustainable massage career didn’t require more hustle, more techniques, or more sacrifice?

In this episode, I chat with Michelle Ratz-McGuire, RMT and hypnotherapist from Waterloo, Ontario, for a grounded, honest conversation about designing a massage career that supports your life—not the other way around.

Michelle shares her journey from social work to massage therapy, why she transitioned to a mat-based, Thai-inspired approach, and how addressing money mindset, boundaries, and nervous system regulation changed everything. This episode explores what it really takes to earn well, protect your energy, and enjoy your work long-term—without abandoning hands-on care.

If you’ve ever thought “must be nice” while scrolling social media, struggled with over giving, or wondered how to make this career feel better day-to-day—this conversation is for you.
