About Us

As a massage therapist of 26 years, I've spent more than two decades loving this industry, mastering my craft, and connecting with incredible bodyworkers. But let's be honest: when it comes to the business side of maintaining our licenses and growing our practices, the system has always felt incredibly fractured.

For years, I found myself completely tired of "the hunt." Every renewal cycle meant spending hours scouring a dozen different websites just trying to find a high-quality CE class. Even when I did find one, I was flying blind—wishing there was a central place where I could read honest reviews from other therapists about their actual course experiences before investing my hard-earned time and money.

Then, my perspective shifted. As an educator and CE provider for my company, CoreStones, I stepped to the other side of the equation and realized the struggle is just as real for teachers. I experienced firsthand how incredibly difficult it is to reach students and let them know about upcoming learning opportunities. On top of that, I wasted countless hours cold-calling and searching for professional, reliable locations just to hold my courses.

That was my breaking point. I realized we shouldn't have to piece our professional lives together from random internet searches, isolated social media groups, and endless dead ends.

I built Massage Marketplace because it is time our industry has its own dedicated home. I wanted to create a unified ecosystem where any therapist can easily find local classes, online courses, or dream destination retreats—complete with real reviews from peers. But I also wanted to solve the space and marketing headache for educators by building a platform where we can easily post classes and where LMTs can actually monetize their empty office space by listing it for rent.

Whether you are looking for your next breakthrough class, trying to fill your student roster, looking to generate extra income from your clinic workspace, or just looking for the best tools and services our industry has to offer, this is our space.

Massage Marketplace was built to allow all massage therapists around the world to connect, grow, and build meaningful professional connections. Welcome to our community!
