Hi, I’m Krista, and I love sharing the stories of massage therapists from around the world. I am constantly fascinated by the way our career allows freedom, flexibility, fun, and financial success. I find massage therapists who are living proof that we have a profession like no other that allows us to live life on our terms. Why me? I'm an RMT since 2006 and a clinic owner but, I started this podcast to share YOUR story. Not mine. YOU are the Radical Massage Therapists who inspire me each day. Thanks for being here to support our goals beyond massage, build up the profession, and enjoy life!

<p>In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I’m joined by manual therapist and movement educator Jenn Slade (Structural Integration & Myofascial Bodywork, M.S. Ex. Sci., ATSI, LMBT, CYT. Jenn shares her inspiring (and honest!) journey from wanting to attend medical school, to massage therapy to Structural Integration, and how it radically changed her understanding of the human body. We talk about the role of fascia, her love of dissection labs, why mentorship is crucial when niching down, and what it really takes to shift your practice when your heart wants something more. If you’ve ever felt pulled to explore a new path—or wondered if Structural Integration is for you—this episode is a must.</p><p>-</p><p>Contact Jenn Slade</p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a><br />IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/threewavesbodywork/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@Threewavesbodywork</a><br /><a href="https://www.anatomytrains.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Mentioned: https://www.anatomytrains.com/</a> </p><p>-</p><p>Contact The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast</p><p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theradicalmassagetherapist/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@theradicalmassagetherapist</a></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.theradicalmassagetherapist.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.theradicalmassagetherapist.com</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p><br /></p>
