Ep 599 – Better Use, Bigger Impact: "Fully Booked" with Elicia Crook
Sometimes we're so focused on finding the next new thing that we overlook what we already have. In this episode of Fully Booked, Elicia explores how reflection, existing skills, and available resources can create meaningful change in your business. Sometimes moving forward isn't about doing more but making better use of what's already in your hands. Host: Elicia Crook is a business coach and mentor for massage therapists, sharing the tactics she used to create her business success over 16 years. She is a diploma-qualified remedial massage therapist, using modalities such as Bowen and craniosacral therapy, and has a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, which she used while teaching massage for several years. Through her career and business experience, Crook discovered who she needed to be and what is required to run a deeply satisfying massage business.

Ep 598 – When a Client Doesn't Actually Want to Heal: "The Rebel MT" with Allison Denney
In bodywork, recognizing when a client is stuck in a pain pattern because they don't know what they don't know can be an important part of working effectively. But what happens when a client is aware they're stuck and, consciously or not, is comfortable staying there, even if it means continuing to experience pain? Host Bio: Contact Allison Denney: rebelmt@abmp.com Allison's website: www.rebelmassage.com Allison Denney is a certified massage therapist and certified YouTuber. You can find her massage tutorials at YouTube.com/RebelMassage. She is also passionate about creating products that are kind, simple, and productive for therapists to use in their practices. Her products, along with access to her blog and CE opportunities, can be found at rebelmassage.com. About our Sponsors: Rebel Massage Therapist: My name is Allison. And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids.

Ep 597 – Meet the Researchers: Word Matters with Anna Gabriella
Release. Adhesions. Breaking things up. Some of the words we use every day in massage make claims we can't always back up. But what if being honest about what we don't know made our work more credible, not less? In this Meet the Researchers episode, Rachelle talks with Dr. Anna Gabriel, a physiotherapist and fascia researcher studying non-local effects—how an intervention at the foot can create measurable changes elsewhere along the posterior chain. But observing a change isn't the same as knowing why it happened. Dr. Gabriel offers a refreshingly simple approach: say what you did, say what you observed, and don't claim a mechanism you didn't measure. Join Nicole and Rachelle for a conversation about scientific precision, the language of massage therapy, professional credibility, and why we don't need to have all the answers to do meaningful work.

Ep 596 – The Pain in Procrastination: "Fully Booked" with Elicia Crook
Is procrastination really the problem, or is it trying to tell us something? In this episode of Fully Booked, Elicia Crook explores four common reasons we put things off and how asking better questions can help us move forward. From feeling overwhelmed to recognizing when a task should be delegated or eliminated altogether, discover why procrastination might be useful information rather than something we need to fight. Host: Elicia Crook is a business coach and mentor for massage therapists, sharing the tactics she used to create her business success over 16 years.

Ep 592 – Talk Less. Ask Better: "The Rebel MT" with Allison Denney
There's a debate in the manual therapy world about which is better: talking or staying silent during a session. But neither approach, when done on autopilot, actually helps a client in pain.
