Episode 000: Welcome to Folding Towels Podcast
Hooray, you found us! Folding Towels is a podcast where we’re all about diving into the nitty-gritty of being a massage therapist. We’re your hosts, Jackie and David, and between the two of us, we’ve spent decades working as massage therapists and building our own businesses. This podcast is where we’ll be sharing all that we’ve learned along the way—the good, the challenging, and everything in between.
When you trained to be a massage therapist, it probably wasn’t because you were eager to spend late nights washing towels, updating social media, and doing bookkeeping. We get it, and that’s exactly why we’re here! We’re tackling all those essential tasks they don’t teach you in massage school, helping you navigate the “boring” but necessary parts of the job so that you can focus on what you love—caring for clients. Whether it’s compliance and policies, the latest in pain science, or finding your ideal client niche, we’re here to help you master it all.
Did you know that the average massage therapy career only lasts about 5 to 7 years? We’re on a mission to change that. We want you to enjoy this career for the long haul, just like we have—without selling your soul. From staying physically strong and mentally fresh to avoiding burnout, we’ll be covering ways to make this profession sustainable and fulfilling.
Throughout the series, we’ll bring in expert guests and fellow massage therapists to share their stories and expertise. We’ll dive into the latest research, trends, and practical tips to help you stay on top of your game. And as the podcast grows, we’re excited to take requests from you, our listeners, to cover topics that are on your mind.
So whether you’re fresh out of massage school or a seasoned therapist, Folding Towels is here for you. Join us as we journey together through the ins and outs of this big, beautiful, and sometimes challenging industry. Subscribe now, and let’s get started on creating a long, rewarding career in massage therapy—one episode at a time!
