Most massage therapists are trained in hands-on bodywork — not business strategy. That’s why many excellent therapists struggle when it comes to pricing, marketing, client retention, and scaling their practice. Monica Skalsky, the founder of Massage Business Academy, knows this first-hand. With over 30 years of experience in the massage therapy industry — from clinical work to education and entrepreneurship — she has walked the path from burnout to six-figure success. Her journey equips her to coach therapists in ways that generic business courses simply cannot.
Balanced Pro Massage: A Mobile Success Story
Long before she built an academy for other therapists, Monica created Balanced Pro Massage, a successful mobile massage business rooted in convenience, personalization, and professional care. Serving homes, offices, and wellness events, this brand proves that therapists can build thriving practices without traditional clinic walls. Balanced Pro Massage’s success lies in its focus on client experience and operational flexibility — foundational principles Monica now teaches to her students.
Wrthit: Post-Surgical Care Done Right
Monica didn’t stop with mobile massage. She also founded Wrthit, a premium brand specializing in post-surgical lymphatic drainage and recovery support. Wrthit serves clients across Southern California with licensed, therapeutic touch designed to help the body heal after cosmetic procedures. This business demonstrates Monica’s ability to identify a specialized niche, build clinical credibility, and deliver results — skills that translate directly into the curriculum and coaching inside Massage Business Academy.
Peaches by Wrthit: Purpose-Driven Product Innovation
Monica’s entrepreneurial instinct also led to the creation of Peaches by Wrthit, a line of luxury post-operative recovery products designed to complement professional care like The Bellini BBL Pillow. Unlike the service-oriented Balanced Pro Massage and Wrthit, Peaches by Wrthit shows how therapists can expand their impact — and their revenue — through thoughtfully crafted products. This diversity of business models gives Monica a unique perspective she shares with her students: real-world strategies for growth, adaptation, and multiple revenue streams.
Monica’s Experience Makes Her the Right Mentor
Monica’s career encompasses nearly every role a massage therapist might imagine: clinical practitioner, educator teaching at institutions like the National Holistic Institute and American Career College, and successful business owner. When she created Massage Business Academy, it wasn’t from theory — it was from lived experience, built through successes, failures, pivots, and big wins. Her coaching curriculum helps therapists understand pricing, marketing, systems, confidence, and mindset — exactly the gaps most therapists struggle with.
