About the Vision
Vanessa believes with more support, massage therapists can experience career fulfillment and prevent burnout.
​
She knows how hard this profession can be: the sore muscles, compassion fatigue, difficult clients who drain your energy.
It doesn't have to be this way.
​
She sees a world in which massage therapists are never overworked and always have the time they need to take care of themselves.​
​
She envisions healthy massage therapists who prioritize self-care, charge what they're worth and have employers who not only value them but pay them well for their hard work.
​
If you're ready to feel better about the massage field, this is your time.
