Who This Is For

Massage therapists who want to:

  • Support clients preparing for or recovering from gender-affirming surgery, breast/chest surgery, or cancer treatment
  • Work with less physical strain and learn light-touch, evidence-informed techniques
  • Build confidence treating post-surgical clients and communicating with healthcare teams
  • Create a sustainable practice built on trust, referrals, and deeper client impact
  • Step into a role where their work carries meaning and long-term purpose

If this sounds like where you want to go, MTA gives you the training and support to get there.

Program Overview: What You’ll Learn

1. Core Curriculum 

You’ll learn the advanced techniques needed to safely treat clients through:

  • Breast/chest surgery
  • Gender-affirming top surgery
  • Oncology care
  • Mastectomy reconstruction
  • Lymphatic considerations and post-op complications
  • Scar tissue management (gentle methods that protect your hands and body)
  • Navigating contraindications, red flags, and scope-of-practice questions
  • Trauma-informed communication and consent

You’ll graduate with the confidence to work with complex clients and collaborate with their medical teams.

 

2. Marketing & Communication 

Most therapists don’t get training in how to build a steady practice.
You will.

We cover:

  • Mindful marketing principles that feel human, not salesy
  • Ready-to-use templates: business cards, brochures, referral letters, presentations, social posts, and content calendars
  • How to build referral relationships with surgeons, oncologists, community orgs, and allied health providers
  • How to explain your work in plain language that builds trust fast
  • How to price your services and give yourself a raise with confidence

You don’t need to become a marketer. You just need tools that work.

 

3. Supportive Community

This is the part graduates talk about most.

You’ll receive:

  • Weekly small-group mentorship
  • Case-study discussions
  • Feedback on your hands-on techniques
  • A private online community where you can ask questions anytime
  • Guidance on navigating real-world client scenarios
  • Peers who cheer you on, share resources, and help you grow

You’ll never feel alone in your work again.

Your Return on Investment (ROI)

What your earning potential can look like

 

With the skills you gain in this program, many therapists raise their rates by $20/hr based on advanced training.

  • A $20/hr increase working 30 hours/week = $17,600 more per year
  •  Over 10 years, that’s $176,000 without adding any hours
  •  At $130/hr, a fully booked 30-hour week = $2M+ over 10 years
  • Even at 10 hours/week, that’s $676,000 over 10 years

These numbers are examples, not promises. Actual earnings depend on your schedule, location, demand, and how you apply what you learn. But graduates consistently report fuller caseloads, shorter waitlists, and more confidence charging rates that reflect their expertise.

Why this matters

  • You don’t have to burn out to make a living.
  • You can work smarter with techniques that protect your hands and body.
  • You can build a practice that supports you for decades—not just a few years.

This program helps you create a career that lasts.

Time Commitment

To give you a realistic picture:

  • 8–10 hours per week
  • Weekly live calls and mentorship sessions
  • Practice-client sessions throughout the program
  • Video submissions for hands-on feedback
  • A mix of clinical lectures, demonstrations, and community support

Most therapists continue working while enrolled.

The Course Investment That Pays You Back—For Life

Most continuing education courses for massage therapy are limited to standard weekend workshops. While they provide valuable insights, they often lack ongoing support, leaving therapists to implement the material on their own.

As a result, most practitioners use only about 10% of what they learn.

Additionally, these courses typically focus solely on clinical techniques without addressing the essential business and marketing strategies needed to position yourself as a trusted specialist in your community.

🌟 The MTA is not just a training course—it’s a guided mentorship that supports you every step of the way, helping you apply what you learn in real-world scenarios.  This fast-tracks your growth and abilities!

Here, you’ll gain:

  • Evidence-informed clinical skills
  • Proven business and marketing strategies to attract and retain this specialized clientele.

No other massage therapy program provides such a comprehensive approach to building a thriving, sustainable practice

one that not only expands your skillset

but also protects your greatest asset:

✨ YOUR ABILITY TO EARN AN INCOME. ✨

Most massage therapists work 30 hours per week due to the physical demands of the profession. With the right skills, those 30 hours could translate into:

💰 $2.03 million in earnings over 10 years at a rate of $130/hour.

Even working just 10 hours per week, the potential earnings reach $676,000 in the same timeframe.

Now consider this: The investment in the MTA program is only $5,500.

That’s a return on investment of over:

  • 36,770% for full-time therapists
  • 12,190% even for part-time therapists

👉 A financial opportunity almost unheard of in any other profession.

But it’s not just about money—it’s about longevity. 

Many therapists burn out within 5-10 years, but this training helps you: 

  • extend your career
  • sustain your passion
  • protect your body
  • Continue earning an income that supports your lifestyle

Meet Your Mentor: Eryn

Aloha Lovelies! 😄🦋

With over 25 years in the healing arts and 15 years as a massage therapist, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting clients through breast and chest surgeries—from breast cancer treatments to gender-affirming procedures. After logging well over 10,000 hours of hands-on work with this unique and beautiful population, I now focus on helping other therapists expand their skills and practices in this rewarding field.

To date, I’ve trained over 650 massage therapists across multiple countries through my accredited programs and reached thousands more through educational events and workshops.

Working with clients navigating breast cancer and surgical recovery has been one of the most meaningful and inspiring paths in my career. It allows us to connect deeply with people during a vulnerable time and provide care that truly makes a difference. Plus, the gentle, focused techniques needed for this work are not just transformative for clients—they’re body-saving for therapists, too. Shifting my practice in this direction helped me overcome chronic pain and burnout early in my career, giving me a renewed sense of purpose and passion.

I’m excited to share this journey with you and help you build a meaningful, sustainable career that brings both personal fulfillment and professional growth.

🙌 I can’t wait to see you inside the Mentorship and Training Academy
