We've teamed up with Mark and Amanda from 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone once again for this bonus episode for you. Even though we are currently on a recording break as we (Nicole & Heather) prepare to move their practices to a new location, we had to get behind the mic again after the latest fee announcement from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (May 2022). Listen in as we discuss how we felt when we read the $100 fee increase for 2023, review the CMTO's rationale behind this increase, break down some math for you, and of course our usual ramblings! We all bring a different perspective as some of us have our General Certificate, some Inactive, some have experience with the CMTO, feel free to join in on the conversations as maybe you know something we missed.

E206 NOW LIVE!🎙️🍵

When Noterro slid into our DMs (not like that) and asked to sit down and talk with Nicole and Heather, we were of course ecstatic. For one, we were honoured that a large company wanted to be on our podcast and two we both use Noterro in our businesses! We were so excited to learn more about the inner workings of this platform.

Okay, okay and three we wanted to meet the guys, Nick and Ryan, who help us answer all of our tickets and make sure they didn't hate us (insert Heather's sarcasm here).

E203 - NOW LIVE! 🎙️ Spilling Tea with Dr. Theresa Lisk

Click link in bio to listen on , , or .fm

RMTs in Ontario often work with Chiropractors in multidisciplinary settings or referral relationship. Since we are often referring clients to Chiropractors or even getting adjustments ourselves, we wanted to sit down with a Chiropractor and get all the tea! We reached out to our friend and colleague, Dr. Theresa Lisk, to come chat about how adjustments work, how they know where to adjust and when/why other manual practitioners may want to refer a client to a Chiropractor. We discussed some pretty cool topics, learned some new information ourselves and even discussed some common misconceptions around Chiropractic care. And of course, as we always do, we got into Dr. Lisk's 'True Why' and purpose in this profession.

Get your kettle boiling, put up your feet and enjoy!

BE KIND AND STAY WELL

We had our good friends from .mtp join us again for a round table discussion about the peer assessment process which seems to be a hot topic in the Ontario Massage community these days. Nicole has first hand experience working with the college and we had a peer assessor help us to understand the process as it is meant to be. We wanted to give the other side of the story and maybe ease the stress on those who have yet to be peer assessed by giving some insight...spoiler- Heather has never been assessed!

🎧 To this episode: Let’s Talk Peer Assessments, with the Massage Therapy Podcast. June 3, 2021.
