Check this out before you make a decision that could cost you time, money, and a lot of stress.
Thinking about hiring as a massage therapist?
If you’re a massage therapist who is:
Fully booked and exhausted
Thinking hiring is the next step
Unsure if you’re actually ready
Wanting to grow but don’t know where to start
The Truth About Hiring
Hiring sounds like the next logical step when you’re fully booked and feeling stretched thin.
It feels like the solution: more help, more income, more freedom.
But what I’ve seen, and experienced myself, is that hiring often creates a completely different set of challenges.
More responsibility.
More decisions.
More pressure to make it work.
And if you’re not set up properly, it can actually make your business feel heavier instead of lighter.
You’re no longer just a therapist. Now you’re managing people, navigating personalities, handling problems, and making decisions that affect more than just you.
That doesn’t mean hiring is a bad idea.
But it does mean it’s not always the right next step…or it just might not be the right step yet.
Built from Real Experience
I’ve been a massage therapist for 20 years and an employer for 9, and hiring has been one of the most challenging and educational parts of my career.
We’ve had incredible team members and some really difficult situations…everything from poor fit and inconsistency to navigating serious workplace issues.
Over time, we learned what actually matters: culture, structure, and doing things the right way from the start.
We’ve also built a team with longevity, including two of our original hires.
This guide is based on real-world experience and everything I wish I knew before hiring.
