  • Episode 091: When Nothing Else Works: Kylie Hicks on Trauma, Touch, and Trust
    Apr 8 2025

    In this replay episode, we revisit a standout conversation with Kylie Hicks from March 2024 — a must-listen for anyone working with chronic pain clients.

    Kylie shares her unique, empathetic approach to treating pain — not just physical pain, but the emotional and nervous system loops that often underpin it. We explore the importance of being hands-on, especially for clients who’ve never been touched by their medical teams, and the power of long-term care plans tailored to each individual.

    Kylie also unpacks how she combines bodywork with tools like NLP to gently shift emotional patterns and help clients stuck in long-term pain cycles find relief.

    Whether you’re a seasoned therapist or just starting out, this episode is full of practical insights and golden takeaways.

  • Episode 90: How a Business Coach Can Help Your Massage Business Grow
    Apr 1 2025

    What does the research say about surviving a zombie apocalypse? Is a business coach the missing piece in your massage therapy journey?

    In this episode, Jackie and David unpack whether a wooden stake or a silver bullet might stop a zombie …. what business coaching is (and what it isn’t), how it differs from mentoring, and how to know if it's the right move for your stage of practice.

    There are so many options around - some who might cost a lot of money. There are coaches for solo practices through to empire builders. We explore why personality fit, communication style, and aligned values are critical to success.

    We also cover the realities of money—what coaching might cost, what kind of return you can expect, and how to avoid common traps, like investing in coaching when you’re not ready to take action.

    Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, this episode will help you understand what to look for in a business coach and how to get the most value from the relationship.

    💡 Real talk, practical steps, and no zombie apocalypses (well, maybe a little).
