In this episode, I chat with Colleen Weibel, a massage therapist practicing in New York State @newleafmassage. Colleen offers a thoughtful comparison of what it's like to practice massage in the U.S. versus Canada . We talk about regulation, public perception, continuing education, and how each country's system shapes the therapist experience.
What We Cover:
The difference between luxury vs. healthcare in how massage is viewed
Licensing, CE requirements, and practice freedoms across borders
The value of flexibility in Colleen’s career (as a parent and traveler)
Why collaboration between countries could benefit the whole profession
