Meet Monica Skalsky

Monica Skalsky, CMT · CAMTC #33056 · C-MLD · CLT · BLDM · Advanced MLD · Post-op Recovery Mastery, has spent over 30 years in the massage therapy industry — from spa to sports therapy, clinical work, and teaching at the National Holistic Institute and American Career College.

She’s the owner of three thriving brands:

  • Wrthit — a premium lymphatic drainage brand serving post-surgical clients across Southern California

  • Balanced Pro Massage — a mobile massage company that brings relaxation and connection corporate settings, trade shows, and spa parties

  • Peaches by Wrthit — her luxury post-op recovery product line

After decades in the massage therapy profession, Monica recognized a common challenge: therapists are extensively trained in their craft, but often receive little guidance on how to successfully build and manage a business.

She created Massage Business Academy to bridge that gap—giving massage therapists practical business knowledge, tools, and strategies to increase their income, reduce the stress of running a practice, and build sustainable businesses that reflect the value of their work.

What I Wish I Knew When I Started

When I first started my massage career, I thought passion and hard work would be enough.
But I quickly realized that skill doesn’t always equal success.

I struggled with pricing, confidence, and the constant question — “am I doing this right?”
Now, after building multiple six-figure businesses, I teach therapists exactly what I wish someone had told me: You can be a great therapist and a thriving entrepreneur.
