December hits. Schedules implode. Clients shuffle like mad. And every therapist asks the same thing: should I just take a break?
David and Jackie cut through the chaos with a fast, honest look at Tetris Month, why January goes flaky, and how to protect your sanity. Learn how to plan time off, set boundaries, manage client expectations, and actually return rested rather than wrecked.
We chat about what it really means to pause, breathe, and take a holiday. The seasonal rhythms, the emotional load of December, and how to communicate time off with kindness and clarity.
From creating space to rest to easing gently back into work, this episode offers a gentle reminder that breaks aren’t indulgent. They’re essential.

It’s December, the Facebook groups are buzzing, and massage therapists everywhere are asking the same question: Do I have to give my clients gifts?
In this episode, Jackie and David dive straight into the holiday chaos and cut through the pressure, guilt, and mixed messages that show up every year.
They explore why you never owe anyone a present, how to express genuine gratitude without turning Christmas into extra labour, and what actually lands as a meaningful gesture. Expect stories from their clinics, clever low-cost gift ideas, a reminder that referrals are the ultimate compliment, and a few hilarious moments (including a client who 3D-prints surprises best kept off your desk).
This is a lively, practical conversation that helps you finish the year with confidence, boundaries, humour, and a clear sense of what truly matters in your client relationships.

The question that keeps coming up in massage therapy circles: Will massage and myotherapy in Australia ever be recognised as allied health?
David and Jackie unpack the context and complexities behind professional recognition. They explore what “allied health” really means, the function of AHPRA, and why massage therapists sit in a uniquely funny grey area.
From qualification inconsistencies and multiple associations to public misconceptions and rogue operators, take a look at the barriers that keep massage on the fringe. But it’s not all frustration — because advocacy is already underway. Collaboration across associations is gaining traction.
And how therapists present themselves can raise standards and strengthen our profession.
