Description

In this episode I welcome back Heather Rivers, Registered Massage Therapist and clinic owner based in Durham Region, Ontario. Heather is the founder of Rivers Massage Therapy, where she specializes in injury rehab, chronic pain, and mental health support through evidence-based therapeutic touch. But beyond her work in the treatment room, Heather is on a mission to help RMTs across Ontario and Canada create safer, more empowered workspaces.


This conversation is a powerful preview of her new one-day virtual workshop, Secure Practice: a must for any RMT who wants to take responsibility for preventing harassment and abuse in their massage therapy practice.


Insights from our discussion and what to expect from her virtual course:

  • How to prevent inappropriate behaviour before it reaches your clinic or mobile practice

  • Identify practice-specific risks and learn how to reduce them

  • Set clear, professional boundaries without guilt or over-explaining

  • Use scripts, policies, and technology to protect your energy, time, and safety

  • Walk away with an actionable plan, downloadable templates, and new confidence
