Who am I?
I'm Ayana, owner of True Massage & Bodywork. A 6 figure wellness brand that specializes in post-op lymphatic drainage massage. I help overwhelmed massage therapists who are tired of being solo practitioners become entrepreneurs using automation, systems, and smart outsourcing so they can earn passive income and avoid burning out.

I am a CNA who is currently working bedside and WAS going for nursing. I have been working since the pandemic and I am over this. I start my massage therapy program in three weeks. I want to do this for people who suffer chronic pain. I had a head/neck injury 5 years ago, and there is much relief I can gain from massages. I cannot wait. I want to work in the hospital for cancer patients, along with maybe starting my own side business as well. I don't know just yet, but I want to help people heal in a holistic way.

[@truemassagebodywork]

Keep up the good work!

[@aminamylovee]

Hey Leslie, how’s the massage program going?

[@rachellemirabal474]

I have been a massage therapist for the past 6 years!! I absolutely love it. I was actually thinking of studying Nutrition to add to my skill set.

Put God first and watch how successful you’ll become. Don’t focus primarily on money but build relationships

[@truemassagebodywork]

Absolutely, by putting God first and prioritizing building genuine relationships, not only will you experience true success, but you will also create a fulfilling and impactful journey that extends far beyond monetary gains.

[@quinnrivers527]

So glad I found this! I am a nurse and I am considering becoming a massage therapist and saying goodbye to nursing

[@truemassagebodywork]

Thanks for the love! Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

[@Bunnie1337]

Same! I start school for massage in a couple weeks.

[@taajahsmith913]

As a yoga instructor and degree in health studies I love the idea of working as a massage therapist. Always loved cozy vibes and its a lucrative career. I love anatomy but I don’t care for nursing. It’s very long hours at hospitals and I commend nurses but I can’t see myself doing it.

[@Emalye.Saeeeeeeeee]

Same my friend does nursing and she hates it. I’m like yeah not doing that

[@kingkong8974]

When i was younger my big sister told me i should be a massage therapist. And now im dating a woman whos a hair dresser, shes finishing up her business school n gonna take accounting next. I honestly want to give her massages n facials, plus i dont wanna continue working minimum wage if shes leveling up so much. I wanna make money too so we can live a great lifestyle. 1. More money 2.

I am clinicals at school. I am open to learning different modalities after school. Chose it because being autistic/creative and very shy adult male, it sort of fits for me more than other careers. I used to work at tiffany and company as just a security guard although I did sales as a guard, because I wanted to be a sale professional but never was hired for that gig. My other job was tsa. It was OK, but the loud sounds would mess me up. I would go into full on depression due to sensory overload for most of my past jobs.

[@truemassagebodywork]

This is a great career for those of us who are neurodivergent. I've met plenty of non-neurotypical people in this field, who have excellent careers! Thanks for sharing this!

You're so kind, thank you!

[@graceelaine1230]

Glad I'm not the only one not interested in doing deep tissue😅

[@truemassagebodywork]

not at all!

[@dwightkschrute80]

I start massage school in two and a half months. I think it would be cool to have my own business. I am drawn to the field because I am interested in anatomy and physiology and want to put that information to good use.

[@truemassagebodywork]

Thanks for the support ! Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

Is it easy for massage therapists to find a job straight out of school like at a franchise or is it difficult? Thanks !

[@truemassagebodywork]

I'll make a video about that! But it depends!

[@justlauren3253]

I'm planning to become a massage therapist....to make a money...

[@MsRosieA]

That to my mind, is the wrong reason…

[@TheHighNorth]

If you’re a male massage therapist forget about it. We get treated like shit. I’ve been a LMT for about 3 years now and I won’t be renewing my license. It was fun while it lasted. As a male LMT, you get used and abused. My hands and forearms are shot, you’re schedule isn’t always filled, and you walk around on eggshells. Like I said Massage therapy is great. If you’re a woman. You’ll get treated immaculately. No I’m not being sexist or I’m not trying to be at least just stating a very obvious fact.

[@Tlahuiltezcatl]

I'm sorry to hear u had that experience :c

[@HilaireJoie]

So sorry to hear that! People can be mean and abusive. :( I hope you find a more lucrative career.

[@teriyakiwilson7072]

I hope to dispel that myth. I'll let you know when I get there!

[@TheHighNorth]

@@teriyakiwilson7072 I mean different strokes for different folks. Here’s the deal. If disprove it great but, after my 3rd year in the industry and watching WOMEN fill their schedule, get treated perfectly fine, I couldn’t do it anymore. You don’t know my story but, if you’d like I have the receipts with zero to lose Walk up to anyone and ask would you rather have a man massage you or a woman? 9/10 a woman. Lemme guess you think you’re gonna change the world of massage? Highly doubtful.

Look for a WIOA grant in your area that can pay for your schooling.

im confused why you quit a good paying job, now doing commission, i dont see massage as worth it
