  • Episode 080: Your Questions Answered
    Dec 10 2024

    In this episode, we dive straight into the questions you’ve been asking. From the logistics of overseas training to the nitty-gritty of taxation and bookkeeping, we tackle the practical challenges faced by massage therapists. We share plans for a new finance-focused series featuring experts, offering the tools you need to manage your business confidently.

    We also discuss the industry-wide debate about whether there should be one governing body for massage therapists in Australia. With insights into current training standards and the challenges of uniting under a single voice, we explore what it could mean for the profession.

    Ever wondered if association membership is worth it, especially for part-time mobile therapists? We break down the benefits, from networking and advocacy to access to resources and support. Plus, we unpack the pros and cons of massage subscription models and touch on the current chaos surrounding the NDIS and how it’s impacting therapists.

  • Episode 079: Should You Sell Products In Your Massage Clinic?
    Dec 3 2024

    In this episode of The Folding Towels Podcast, Jackie and David dive into the sometimes divisive topic of selling products in your massage clinic. Do you need to sell products? Not at all. But for therapists who choose to, selling the right products can boost income without the physical strain of more massage sessions.

    They explore the importance of aligning products with your clinic’s values and niche, from spiky balls and TMJ tools to nurturing bath salts and festive aromatherapy. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls, like dead stock or feeling pressured to hard-sell, and hear tips on sourcing and pricing products effectively.

    David also shares his lessons learned (50 heat bags, anyone?) and Jackie talks about her passion for magnesium products. Whether you're new to selling or looking to refine your approach, this episode offers practical advice to help you sell with confidence and integrity.

    Tune in and discover if product sales are right for your clinic!
