Meet Monica Skalsky — Your Coach for Building a Thriving Massage Practice

Monica Skalsky, CAMTC Lic #33056, CMT, MLD-C,

Hi, I’m Monica, CAMTC Lic #33056. With over 30 years in the massage therapy world, I’ve worn just about every hat: spa therapist, sports-massage practitioner, clinical bodyworker, educator at respected institutions, and entrepreneur. My journey has taken me through ups and downs, mistakes and breakthroughs — but that’s what shaped the fire in me to do more than just “work massage.” I wanted to build a practice that supports a lifestyle, honors my worth, and delivers real value to clients.

That journey led me to found three successful brands: from mobile massage therapy with Balanced Pro Massage, to post-op lymphatic drainage under Wrthit, to a post-op recovery product line Peaches by Wrthit. Today, I channel all I learned into the Massage Business Academy, because I believe deeply that you have what it takes to build a six-figure massage business — even if right now you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or undercharging.

If you’ve ever wondered how to transform your skills into a sustainable, thriving business — you’re in the right place.

Why the Massage Business Academy Is Different

There are plenty of business-education resources out there — but few written by a massage therapist, for massage therapists. The Academy is designed to address the unique challenges we face: unreliable client flow, scope-of-practice restrictions, unpredictable hours, burnout, underpricing, and figuring out how to stand out.

Because I’ve lived it, I built this course from the trenches. I understand that massage is not just a job — it’s a calling, and a craft. With MBA you get more than generic business advice: you get a tailored roadmap for a healing profession.

Whether you’re brand new and nervous about “going solo,” or you’ve been working independently for years but still feel scattered and undervalued — this program meets you where you are.

What the Course Offers — From Blueprint to Business

The Massage Business Academy is a 5-week fully online program, meaning you can go through it from anywhere in the U.S., on your schedule. Pre-recorded lessons let you move at your own pace — yet you’re never alone. Weekly live group coaching with me (and occasionally guest experts) gives you real-time support, answers, and guidance. Plus, every module comes with downloadable templates, checklists, scripts, and “Success Sheets” you can put into action right away.

Inside the Academy you’ll gain:

• A clear business roadmap — from vision to execution. You’ll design a practice that fits your life, not one that leaves you feeling overworked and underpaid.

• Pricing & Profit Blueprint — no more guessing what to charge. Learn how to value your work fairly, position your services, and build packages clients will gravitate toward while you make what you deserve.

• Marketing & Client Attraction Strategies — simple, authentic methods to attract and retain clients, even if you hate “selling.” You’ll learn to stand out in your market and avoid competing on price alone.

• Mindset Work — Mindset Makeovers — become the CEO of your massage practice. Replace self-doubt and “imposter syndrome” with confidence, clarity, and direction.

• Systems & Organization — plug-and-play systems that help you streamline scheduling, track clients, manage your time, and run a business without chaos.

• Supportive Community — connect with fellow therapists on the same path. Share wins, ask questions, get accountability, and build a network of support around your growth.

• Lifetime Access — you’re not boxed into a finite course. As your business evolves, you can return, re-learn, adapt, and grow with new lessons and updates.

In short: this isn’t just about getting by — it’s about building a massage business that lasts.

Who Should Consider the Massage Business Academy

✅ New Therapists Just Starting Out

If you’re fresh out of massage school or recently licensed (for example, through California Massage Therapy Council — CAMTC), you may be eager to start practicing but unsure of the business side. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by questions like:

• What should I charge?

• How do I structure my schedule to avoid burnout?

• How do I attract clients consistently if I don’t have a reputation yet?

• What business systems do I need to set up from day one?

This course gives you a step-by-step launch plan so you can begin accepting clients with confidence — no guesswork required.

💪 Experienced Therapists Who Want More

You’ve been working massage for years. You’re skilled. But maybe you’re tired of booking on the fly, wondering where your next client is coming from, and watching income plateau. Maybe you’re overworked, underpaid, or ready for a change.

If you want to:

• Raise your rates without scaring away clients

• Build a loyal class of regulars

• Create a waitlist of clients who value your work

• Have systems in place so you’re not “on-call” 24/7

• Reclaim time — for yourself, your family, or a side passion

Then this course can help you move from “working harder” to “working smarter,” scaling your business to six-figure potential and beyond.

A Realistic Scenario: How Massage Business Academy Could Change Your Story

Imagine this:

You’re a licensed massage therapist named Sarah. You graduated massage school two years ago, started doing mobile massage, and began seeing a handful of clients. Things have been “meh.” Some weeks are great — you fill your calendar. Other weeks? Crickets. You’re working odd hours, scrambling to book gigs, and living with unpredictable income.

You know deep down you’re a good therapist — your clients thank you; some even say you’re skilled — but you don’t know how to turn that into a stable and thriving practice.

You’ve tried raising your rates, but bookings dropped. You tried posting on Facebook local groups, but no real traction. You feel stuck, exhausted, and burned-out. The dream of a successful massage business seems far away.

Then you find the Massage Business Academy. You sign up. Week by week, with Monica’s coaching and the downloadable tools, you build clarity: who your ideal client is, what niche you serve, what you’re worth. You adjust pricing, restructure your schedule, and streamline booking and follow-up systems. You start marketing authentically — not spammy or salesy — but with integrity and value.

By the end of 5 weeks, your business looks totally different. Clients start referring friends. New clients book faster. You’re not scrambling last-minute; instead, you’re waiting — scheduling carefully, valuing your time, and working fewer hours while actually making more income. You set boundaries. You carve out time for yourself. You begin to feel like a business owner again — not just a therapist hustling for every booking.

That’s the transformation this course offers.

Why This Works — Because It’s Built From Experience

Here’s the hard truth I learned over decades in this industry: being a skilled therapist doesn’t automatically mean you’ll succeed as a business owner. Techniques, table skills, even compassion — all matter. But without a plan — without mindset, pricing clarity, systems, and business strategy — massage therapy can easily burn you out.

That’s why Massage Business Academy is more than a course — it’s a holistic approach. You learn to think like a business owner, position yourself with value, design a lifestyle that works for you, and build systems that grow with you.

I’ve built and managed multiple massage-therapy businesses myself. I’ve hired and fired therapists, cared for clients with post-surgical needs, adapted to changing market demands — and I’ve come out the other side with clarity on what works and what doesn’t. That’s what I bring to you.

Whether you want to launch your own mobile practice, build a post-op recovery clientele, offer specialized services like lymphatic drainage, or integrate a product line — this Academy gives you the toolkit.
