You're ready to add massage therapy to your wellness center. You know it would complement your existing services beautifully. But then reality hits: What should you pay them? What equipment do they need? How many clients can they actually see in a day? Where do you even begin?

In this episode from Kendall's "What the Wellness Center?!" series, she's joined by Crystal Meyer, a licensed massage therapist who's worked in chiropractic offices, high-end spas, and private practice before finding her home at Vancouver Wellness Studio. Together, they tackle the real questions practice owners have about hiring massage therapists.

The conversation reveals a crucial insight many employers miss: "Massage therapists are definitely underpaid in our industry and the work that we do is invaluable," Crystal explains. She goes on to share what LMTs are really looking for in job postings, and it's not what most practice owners expect.

From compensation structures (spoiler: those massage chains paying $15 per session are creating the burnout crisis) to understanding physical labor limitations, from legal requirements to room setup essentials, this episode covers the practical details that determine whether your hiring effort succeeds or fails.

Crystal's insider perspective, combined with Kendall's experience as an employer, creates a comprehensive guide that helps you avoid costly mistakes while creating an environment where talented massage therapists actually want to work.
