✨ Getting ready for my next group of future massage therapists! ✨

There’s something special about preparing my classrooms before a new cohort walks through the doors.

I’ve been organizing our learning spaces, getting supplies in order, and preparing everything for the next Brookdale Community College Massage Therapy Program cohort beginning September 28th. 💆‍♀️📚

And we have just 2 seats remaining!
I intentionally cap each cohort at 10 students. Keeping the class small allows me to really know my students—not just how they’re performing academically, but how they’re developing as future massage therapists.

It means more individualized instruction, more hands-on guidance, more opportunities to ask questions, and the kind of mentorship that I believe is so important when entering this profession

📅 Day Program: Monday–Friday
⏰ 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
📍 Brookdale Community College
🎓 Program Coordinator & Lead Instructor: Jennifer Carlson, LMT, BCTMB

Thinking about becoming a massage therapist—or know someone who would be a great fit for this profession?

💬 Comment CAREER below and I’ll send you information about attending our virtual Massage Therapy Information Session on September 9th!
You can also visit the Brookdale Massage Therapy Program webpage to learn more about the program and upcoming enrollment opportunities.

Two seats left. Ten students maximum. One new class getting ready to begin. ✨

I can’t wait to meet them.

I'm excited to finally share something I've been working on! 😊

Welcome to Clinical Tip Tuesday. I hope these quick videos encourage thoughtful assessment and clinical reasoning.

I learned a new trick this week! 😊 If you haven't heard of Kinetic Chain Release, or you have but haven't looked it up yet, this is your sign to do some research. 🙌

I'm really looking forward to learning alongside Kristen O'Grady this Monday and Tuesday as she teaches Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) at Massage Mastery Institute.

If you've been curious about KCR, this is a great opportunity to experience an approach that looks beyond the site of pain and helps identify how the body functions as an interconnected system.

We still have a few spaces available for this Monday and Tuesday's course, so if you've been thinking about joining us, there's still time!

Feel free to message me with any questions or register today. We'd love to have you with us!

🦴 I need your help!

Our classroom skeleton at Massage Mastery Institute still doesn't have an official name... and massage therapists have been absolutely hilarious with their suggestions! 😂

Today we're collecting the final contenders and opening the voting.

If you have one last clever, anatomical, punny, or downright ridiculous name idea, head over to the original post on the Massage Mastery Institute page and add it to the comments. Then cast your vote by reacting to your favorite suggestions!

I can't wait to see which name becomes our newest team member's official identity. 💚🦴

💀 Meet the newest member of the Massage Mastery Institute team!

Our classroom just welcomed a new teaching assistant... although we're still waiting for their résumé. 😆

This dedicated team member: 🦴 Never calls out sick. 🦴 Has every bone in the game. 🦴 Doesn't mind being the center of attention. 🦴 Is always willing to lend a hand... literally.

The only problem? They don't have a name yet!

Help us out by dropping your funniest, cleverest, or most anatomical name suggestions in the comments. 👇

Will it be Skelly Clarkson? Sir Ribs-a-Lot? Bone Jovi? Patella White? Or something even better?

The winning name might just become an official part of the Massage Mastery Institute classroom! 💚

I applaud the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario for approving amendments that reduce fees for both initial applicants and inactive members.

While I would also love to see reduced registration fees for active RMTs, I believe this is a meaningful step in the right direction.

As a former Ontario RMT, I likely would not have surrendered my inactive registration years ago if maintaining it had been more affordable. Over time, the increasing costs made it difficult to justify keeping a registration that I wasn't actively using.

I hope this is part of a broader effort to make it easier for massage therapists to remain connected to the profession throughout different stages of their careers.

How do you feel about the MT license and registration fees where you reside?

I am sharing this post because I believe it is important for massage therapists and healthcare professionals to be aware of several scope-of-practice discussions currently taking place before the New Jersey Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy.

The Board is seeking additional information regarding kinesiology taping, therapeutic ultrasound, and red light therapy. Public comments are being accepted through June 23rd. (Send your email ASAP to help the cause!)

As an educator, Board Certified Massage Therapist, and advocate for high professional standards, I believe these discussions should be informed by education, competency, public safety, evidence-informed practice, and the realities of modern collaborative healthcare.

If you are a massage therapist, physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, athletic trainer, occupational therapist, acupuncturist, educator, employer, or healthcare advocate, I encourage you to review the information below and consider submitting a respectful public comment.

If you choose to participate, consider sharing your perspective regarding training standards, professional competency, public safety, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the appropriate use of these modalities by properly trained professionals.

Professional, thoughtful voices matter.
