Please note: This episode discusses the topic of pregnancy

This episode is a great place to start if you are planning for a family and you are wondering how to prepare for mat leave from your massage practice. Thanks to a listener request, we have got some great info for your! In this episode I am joined by Kelly Salvador, RMT and Emilie McKay, RMT.

Kelly and Emilie cover three key areas: Leading up to the pregnancy including the financial options you have available either through investing or through EI, During pregnancy and what it looks like to treat, how long they worked before taking time off, when they needed to reduce their hours, and how even your best plans can really go out the window, and lastly we cover What it looks like to return to your practice postpartum, including childcare, reducing compassion fatigue, and getting rid of mom guilt if you want to return to work.

I could not be more grateful for the insight and preparation these two women provided on this episode and their enthusiasm to both contribute.
