About This Event

The Problem

Massage school teaches technique.
It rarely teaches sustainability.

Many therapists unknowingly do “magical math” when calculating income and burn out within their first few years.

This session is about grounding your career in reality — not hustle culture.


What Makes This Different

This is not a motivational seminar.

It’s a professional calibration session led by Jodi Scholes, founder of MassageGrads.com with 30+ years as a Licensed Massage Therapist.


Shhhhhhhh….Live attendees will receive first access to a new 8-week Spring Practice Builder Cohort launching in April.
