How Much Money Do Massage Therapists Make & Where Do Massage Therapists Work?
Neal Lyons	Posted in Career Considerations, Cost of Education	— No Comments ↓
How Much Money Do Massage Therapists Make, we have previously written about how much massage therapists make.
Recently, however, we came across results from a research study conducted by the ABMP, a member and income survey of hundreds of massage therapists, which revealed results that are dramatically different from the experience of our volunteer base.
In fact, the ABMP's survey results are also dramatically different from the numbers published by the United States Bureau of Labor Standards, which reported the average annual income of massage therapists to be $34,900 including tips.
Note that in our experience, not all tips and gratuities are reported at all times.
Why are these numbers different?
There are several reasons and How Much Money Do Massage Therapists Make.
We obtained our numbers from our volunteer base.
The Bureau obtained its numbers by extrapolation which involves several assumptions.
Moreover, self-employed therapists are not included in the Bureau's study, which really makes up the majority of massage practitioners in the United States.
The ABMP o, on the other hand, gathers its results by conducting a study of their members.
According to the ABMP's study, massage therapists earn the following income:
Independent practitioners: $25,365
Employees: $19,605
Average gross income during the first year of practice: $8,864
Note: These are average figures. Source: ABMP's survey published by www.massagetherapy.com
Of the therapists interviewed, 78% were independent practitioners, 7% were employees and 15% were a combination of both.
The study starts to get interesting when we look into the years of experience which is as follows:
Less than 1 year: 12%
1-3 years: 23%
10-12 years: 12%
13-15 years: 8%
More than 16 years: 10%
Now that we have covered how much massage therapists earn, let's look at where massage therapists work, their work environment and conditions.
Where Do Massage Therapists Work? – How Much Money Do Massage Therapists Make
This data is also directly from the ABMP, which was published by www.massagetherapy.com.
The data is self-reported through the research study conducted by the ABMP.
Therapist's office (31.5%)
Massage clinic (13.8%)
Therapist's home (11.8%)
Chiropractic or medical office (10.5%)
Day spa (9.6%)
Client's home (5.3%)
Chair massages in a therapist's office (2.5%)
Chair massages in a public location (2.4%)
Health club (2%)
Salon (2%)
Resort/hotel (1.9%)
Hospital (1.1%)
Destination spa (0.8%)
What is the Typical Workload of a Massage Therapist?
Average number of clients seen per week: 10
Average client contact hours per week: 17.8
Median client contact hours per week: 12
47% of massage therapists have another job, at which they spend an average of 22 hours per week.
The top five secondary occupations: office, medical, education, sales/retail, massage instructor.
67.2% of massage therapists say they wish they had more clients
In our experience, we understand the average number of clients per massage therapist per week to be higher, as is the client contact hours per week.
This is perhaps because our volunteer base was mostly full time employees or business owners who generally work more.
We do find our findings consistent with the ABMP however in terms of handling multiple jobs and wishing they had more clients.
Every massage therapist wishes they had more clients than they do.
How do Massage Therapists Split Their Professional Time Between Work Locations?
33.8% of therapists spend all their professional time at one location
31% provide massage at two locations
15.1% provide massage at three locations
73.1% of massage therapists work in a spa at least part time
Of these, 64.4% work as independent contractors to the spa
These statistics are also consistent with our understanding based on our survey of our volunteer base.
While the ABMP's and our findings are mostly consistent in terms of where therapists work, their workload, working conditions and how they spend time, a drastic difference exists in the income earned by massage therapists.
Our population is admittedly significantly smaller than the population surveyed by the ABMP.
However, we assume that the Bureau's statistics were compiled utilizing a much larger base than both the ABMP and us.
The average amount of income earned by massage therapists in our experience is similar to what the Bureau reports.
Interestingly, the ABMP's reported number is more than $15,000 lower on average.

Then creating the conditions, leadership or communications necessary to fulfill the vision.
Click the tabs above for a few case studies which will give you an idea of my process.
But the program was invested in its historical name, as were the clients. So the question became, how can TOP keep the brand they've established with their service population while making it clear to potential donors what the group was about?
I suggested adding four words to be used with their name. This short tag line would do many things: (1) articulate the vision (2) make sense of the organization's historical name (3) explain what the program did (4) convey a sense of caring about clients while refusing frame the work as a people problem (as saying something like "helping the homeless every day" does, covertly).
The Other Place. Until there's no homelessness.
This case study shows something about my creative process and thinking, because writing, organizing and strategizing are creative processes and inform each other.
A veterinary clinic wanted to reorganize its staff. Thinking traditionally and hierarchically didn't suit the clinic owner, who really wanted to promote sharing of responsibility and tasks among her staff, many of whom worked part time. I created an organizational flow I call "Circles of Influence" instead of thinking in terms of departments. The main circle is pictured below, then each individual area of influence has its own circle of related tasks (not pictured here). In the actual clinic plan, people are assigned within these circles — sometimes their name shows up in several different places as they are assigned according to their strengths. This allows the staff to flow to jobs and tasks that they are passionate about doing.
A fair amount of time I'll have entrepreneurial clients who need a professional web presence and don't have web skills — but they want to self-manage their web content as a way of controlling ongoing costs. One of my skills is helping them identify what tasks they actually can do and want to do— and what they want to contract out. Based on this understanding, I design a site, HTML email or presentation on a platform that works for them and teach them how the technology works "under the hood." I've worked with many different platforms such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix, Silverpop, Mailchimp, Constant Contact... and of course PowerPoint and Prezi.

If you are searching for a document storage solution to organize and secure your business documents, you are on the right path to improving your business. However, document storage is only one item you want to look at when it comes to selecting the right solution for you.
After solving the issue of document storage by creating a folder structure on your network drives, you will encounter problems with document control which is non-existent in document storage solutions. With network storage you are dependent on employees self-managing the folder structure. Multiple employees have copies of the same documents and can make changes that will overwrite what other people have done. This can get out of hand very quickly and make version control a nightmare.
With online document management, you are able to create a structure that mirrors the way you work. By incorporating your own requirements and terminology, you can implement a system that is easy for everyone to use and eliminate the ad hoc creation of scattered folder structures. The system will manage the documents for you, so that all users can focus on getting the work done instead of worrying about whether or not they are in the correct version.
Employees are often very busy keeping up with their daily tasks and projects that they don't always have time to collaborate with one another. Email communications make this separation more distinct as employees communicate back and forth on various projects, all the while emailing different versions of the same documents. When a user sends a document via email, it is unmanageable and difficult to trace all of the communications related to that specific document.
With online document management, you can keep documents in the system instead of emailing copies. Users can send messages and attach notes without losing control over their documents. When a user sends a message with a document link using the system, the document version controls are still in place protecting the integrity of that file. This messaging system allows for increased collaboration and better workflow amongst staff.
The benefits of document storage solutions are obvious after organizations have suffered through the paper to network storage transition. But document storage is only a first step. You want to make sure you have a system in place to help you with process control since almost all business processes have documents at their core. Document storage solutions are far from able to do this for you.
With online document management, your business can become truly efficient by automating your processes. This will allow you to codify corporate knowledge into repeatable results, ensuring your lasting growth and success as a business. This will also save everyone from wasting time and effort on unnecessary activities.
When researching the best solution, it's critical to consider these features.

Alexa and Carlos PenaVega Are Expecting Baby #2
Nicole Villeneuve
And baby makes four! Spy Kids actress Alexa PenaVega and her husband, former Nickelodeon star Carlos PenaVega, just announced that they're expecting their second child together.
"Holy Moly!!! Guys!!! We are having another baby!!!!" Alexa shared on Instagram on Thursday, January 17, along with a photo of her and Carlos excitedly holding up a positive pregnancy test while their 2-year-old son, Ocean, sleeps soundly in his stroller.
"Do we wake Ocean up and tell him??!!" she added. "Beyond blessed and excited to continue growing this family!!! Get ready for a whole new set of adventures!!!
Carlos shared the news on his social media accounts, too. "It's HAPPENING… AGAIN! WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!!" he captioned a picture of him and his wife puckering up for a kiss while holding an ultrasound pic of the new baby. "Another PenaVega is joining the family! This year we will officially be able to say we have 'kids'! Our minds are blown and we are beyond blessed and excited for our growing family!!! Let the journey begin!!!"
Alexa famously played Carmen Cortez in the Spy Kids film series and recently starred in Hallmark's Christmas Made to Order. Carlos, who himself has appeared in several Hallmark original films, starred as Carlos Garcia on the Nickelodeon series Big Time Rush. The couple tied the knot in January 4, 2014, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and welcomed their first child, Ocean, in December 2016.
The couple have not revealed any other details, such as a due date, for baby number two, but with any luck, they'll share more details along the way as they did with Alexa's first pregnancy. Congrats to the growing family!
Do you have any name suggestions for Ocean's little sibling? Let us know @BritandCo!

Highlighting my travels through mainland Norway and the Svalbard archipelago. My first tastes of life above the Arctic circle, shrimp, and a true polar plunge. Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer beauty of this Arctic gem - Svalbard was a dream from which I never wanted to wake.
Viva Mexico
Highlighting my travels through the Sea of Cortez and mainland Baja. Our first tastes of whale watching, Lobster Tail, and Stand Up Paddleboarding. Mexico thrilled me with its varied landscape, and I found myself constantly breathless as I took in the views from the peaks of cactus-laced mountains.
Ecuador y las Islas Galapagos
Highlighting my travels through the Ecuadorian highlands and the legendary Galapagos Islands. Our first tastes of South America, Guinea Pig, and the finals of the FIFA World Cup. Wandering around small villages in the Andes and piles of iguanas in the Galapagos made me feel like I was looking through the world through a perfect, sunny orb.
The Columbia and Snake Rivers
On this trip, we stepped back into history. We learned all about the expedition that Lewis and Clark took through the Pacific Northwest. We cruised through gorges and dams, went wine tasting through the wine vineyards of Oregon, kayaked on the calm and rafted in the rough rapids. It was a well-rounded trip with everything!

Home / News / ASU alumna returns to college with a new purpose
ASU alumna returns to college with a new purpose
ASU Online Student Claudia Becerril poses in her nursing school scrubs. The ASU alumna is enrolled in the CEP, a unique program where she completes her hands-on clinical work at a community college - while at the same time taking baccalaureate-level coursework online at ASU.
The path to finding your true passion looks different for everyone. For Claudia Becerril, it began with an interest in health and a desire to help.
She found a way to combine those two things when she attended Arizona State University the first time, majoring in Global Health and Psychology.
"As part of my program, I studied abroad in Guatemala and became interested in diabetes research and education. Later on, as part of the Honors College Experience, I was privileged to travel to Venice, Italy to present on Health and Quality of Life at the International Society for the Quality of Life Studies," Becerril said.
During the course of her undergraduate experience, her enthusiasm for public health work and the overall wellbeing of communities only continued to grow. She interned at the ASU Obesity Solutions Initiative and worked at the ASU America Reads programs.
"In these programs, I learned about the effect that one's nutrition, physical activity, and socioeconomic status can have on our health, and how both nutrition and academic education can make such a large impact. It was amazing to see the effect someone like me could make on the lives of others," explained Becerril.
The Barrett Honors student went on to graduate and start work but quickly realized something was off.
"I wanted to be able to make a bigger difference, and have more participation within a care team. So when I was thinking about this I realized that all of the things I was interested in while doing my undergrad, I can do as a nurse and that's when it all clicked," she said.
Her aha moment led her to the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation Concurrent Enrollment Program, which was the best fit for her. The program is unique because Becerril will complete her hands-on clinical work at a community college - while at the same time taking baccalaureate-level coursework completely online at ASU to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
This isn't her first experience with ASU Online, but it is her first time taking exclusively online classes for a program.
"I'm familiar with the setup of online courses at ASU, and I really like the support that I've been able to receive. The online success coaching program makes a big difference," she said.
In addition, Becerril says the expectations of each class are clearly shared as are the due dates for all of the assignments right upfront.
Helping to make her feel even more comfortable, the fact that professors make themselves available to students, even more so she says than in her previous experience taking classes online.
Connecting IRL
But don't let the online platform's ease of use fool you. It is still a rigorous curriculum on top of her traditional nursing school courses at the community college. Add to that the fact that Becerril works full-time and is trying to balance the other aspects of her life and it can easily become overwhelming.
"There are days where it does feel like a lot. The one thing that has been very helpful is that there are other students going through the same thing. So remembering that I'm not alone and knowing that I have such an amazing support system with my family has been huge."
In fact, she says connecting with her classmates in the program has been a great relief. From casually chatting about the various assignments to sharing the feelings they're all going through, she says it has all made a difference.
Within the program, there's some empathy as well. Becerril says her professors online are cognizant of the fact that this is not an easy path they're on.
"They acknowledge nursing school is very challenging and intense and there is a level of understanding that some of us are working as well. So, the constant communication is reassuring because I never have to wonder when something is due or what is expected of me."
This frees up her time to focus on learning, something Becerril is especially grateful for.
"I was raised by a single mom, who brought my brother and me here from Mexico. So being able to pursue my dream of attaining an education hasn't always been easy but it's something I'm extremely devoted to."
Ultimately, Becerril says she wants to earn the "credentials and credibility" to provide bedside care along with treatment and education to all different kinds of patients.

Researchers Develop Label-Free, Non-Destructive Tools to Detect Metabolic Changes Linked to Disease
Discovery suggests the possibility of non-invasive metabolic monitoring for use in research and development of improved therapeutics
Mar 11, 2018|3 min read Tufts University
Cell fluorescence reveals metabolic activity.Images courtesy of Tufts University
MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (March 7, 2018) — Metabolic changes in cells can occur at the earliest stages of disease. In most cases, knowledge of those signals is limited, since we usually detect disease only after it has done significant damage. Now, a team of engineers and biologists led by Prof. Irene Georgakoudi at Tufts University School of Engineering has opened a window into the cell by developing an optical tool that can read metabolism at subcellular resolution, without having to perturb cells with contrast agents, or destroy them to conduct assays. As reported Mar. 7 in Science Advances, the researchers were able to use the method to identify specific metabolic signatures that could arise in diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.
The method is based on the fluorescence of two important coenzymes (biomolecules that work in concert with enzymes) when excited by a laser beam. The coenzymes—nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)—are involved in a large number of metabolic pathways in every cell. To find out the specific metabolic pathways affected by disease or stress, the Tufts scientists looked at three parameters: the ratio of FAD to NADH, the fluorescence "fade" of NADH, and the organization of the mitochondria (the energy producing "batteries" of the cell) as revealed by the spatial distribution of NADH within a cell.
The first parameter—the relative amounts of FAD to NADH—can reveal how well the cell is consuming oxygen, metabolizing sugars, or producing or breaking down fat molecules. The second parameter—the fluorescence "fade" of NADH—reveals details about the local environment of the NADH. The third parameter—the spatial distribution of NADH in the cells—shows how the mitochondria split and fuse in response to cellular growth and stress.

"Taken together, these three parameters begin to provide more specific, and unique metabolic signatures of cellular health or dysfunction," said Georgakoudi. "The power of this method is the ability to get the information on live cells, without the use of contrast agents or attached labels that could interfere with results."
Other methods exist for non-invasively tracking the metabolic signatures of disease, such as the PET scan, which is often used in research. But while PET scans provide low resolution information with excellent depth penetration into living tissues, the optical method introduced by the Tufts researchers detects metabolic activity at the resolution of single cells, although mostly near the surface.
That is not necessarily a limitation. Many diseases can be detected at the surface of tissues, including cancer, while many pre-clinical studies are performed with animal models and engineered three-dimensional tissues that can benefit from being monitored non-destructively. The method developed by Georgakoudi and colleagues may prove to be a powerful research tool for understanding their metabolic signatures.

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography Photographic Laboratory was established in 1949 to provide photographic services to the SIO community. Any SIO academic, administrative or research units could request these services. Photographic requests were usually for still images. Subjects included aerial views of La Jolla and the Scripps campus, artifacts, campus buildings and events, faculty and staff at work, marine specimens, research ships, and scientific instruments. Moving images were sometimes requested, often of expeditions at sea. Beginning in 1958, the Photographic Laboratory's scope expanded to include what would become the newly established San Diego campus of the University of California, recording the construction of campus buildings and early campus events. The Photographic Laboratory closed in 2000.

Migration From California To The Great Basin ca. 1000 CE
The Uto-Aztecian peoples of the Great Basin at the time of first contact with Europeans (in Western Colorado, the Utes) arrived in the Great Basin and one of three separate Uto-Aztecian peoples with distinct language from Eastern California Valleys in a fairly rapid migration around 1000 CE, which is about the same time as the Na-Dene migration from the Pacific Northwest to the American Southwest.
They replaced the Fremont people who had an ethnic affinity with the modern Hopi Indians (see also here and here).
A combination of linguistic evidence, ethnography, oral histories, genetic evidence (which shows the discontinuity between earlier remains and modern Native American populations in the region), and the archaelogical evidence seem to support this account.
The best guess at the reason for the shift is that the big game oriented hunting of the Fremont lost effectiveness as a way to make a living there relative to the smaller animal and seed based subsistence of the Uto-Aztecians. Climate, of course, is also always a serious suspect in this kind of transition, particularly since it involved three parallel migrations of Uto-Aztecians and another parallel Na-Dene migration (probably actually more than one of these migrations as well) rather than just a single migrating group - disfavoring "great men of history" or "single decisive event" type explanations.
A key take away point is that the notion that North American prehistory was relatively static is increasingly being discredited as we learn more. The relatively recent mass folk migrations so familar from old school European history and from other Old World prehistory reconstructions with linguistics and archaeology also characterize North American prehistory. We are starting to be able to fill in some of the big waves of migration and replacement, large scale archaeolgical cultures that rose and fell with hints at the causes, and links between successive prehistoric cultures in the New World as well as the old. In short, North American prehistory is starting to look more like a historical account and less like a vague prologe to the eras we understand from historical records.

"the notion that North American prehistory was relatively static is increasingly being discredited as we learn more".
The same apparently holds for Australia as well. Some years ago I was surprised to learn that the Pama-Nyungan languages, spoken over virtually the whole of Australia, began diversifying just 10,000 years ago. Yet people have populated almost all of Australia for something like 50,000 years. The claim was that people had expanded back into the desert following a particularly arid period. Climate again, just as for the Great Basin.
Although in Australia, there is at least circumstantial evidence that rather than climate, the shift was due to early contact with Indonesians, which a new genetic study seems to support and which is also supported by the concentration of lingustic diversity among Australian aboriginals on the North Coast. Pama-Nyugan could have spread with cultural advantages obtained from this contact, if there was any, rather than being climate driven.
Possible. But in the region where most Indonesian contact occurred the languages are non-Pama-Nyungan. The original article I read claimed Pama-Nyungan had spread from the southeast but some more recent research did suggest that Pama-Nyungan was a branch of non-Pama-Nyungan. So the jury is still out. I don't know if you've seen the abstract and data from the link Kristiina provided at Maju's blog:
The map has data from just four regions but that doubles the information we previously had. The greatest diversity of haplogroups, as we would expect, is in the northwest. But we can see that Australian prehistory was a dynamic process, not static.

The Inox Steel Scourer from Vileda is the perfect weapon for getting rid off those pesky stains on grills, baking trays and other tough kitchen items.
We've all had it, something has been left on the pan too long and it's managed to burn on. Before you open the bin and throw it away why not give it some elbow grease with this. In no time at all you'll have a pan that looks like new. The ball is made up of steel spirals that are flexible but tough at powering through burn marks and well stuck grease.
Please note: Heavy duty scouring, not for use on delicate kitchen items.
