#104 Work Less. Earn More. Travel Often with Nicki Iskander, RMT

Check out this inspiring chat with Nicki Iskander sharing her experiences and insights on advocating for financial success in massage therapy, overcoming gender bias, and launching a successful home practice.

Nicki exemplifies work-life balance with a 4 day work week, a six figure income, and takes extensive time off to travel. She learned that having a solid business plan and mentorship are key aspects to avoid wasting time and take the guesswork out of building a successful business.

She came to massage therapy after a decade of working in the music industry because she saw massage therapy as a profession that provided job security and was dominated by females.

We touch on many key points in this episode including

Small business ownership
Cancellation policies and having credit cards on file
How she managed during the COVID-19 pandemic
Strategies to prioritizing safety in a home practice

This episode wouldn't be complete without discussing her love of music and the role of music in massage therapy sessions including her well curated and popular playlist “no pan flute”

I hope you enjoy this episode with Nicki!
