Meeting Rescheduled for January 30

Building a career that is inspiring and financially successful

Join the Dallas AMTA region  for our January 2025 meeting where we will be hosting a special workshop led by John James, a distinguished local massage therapist with over 33 years of experience and the owner of the Ke Kino Institute of Healing. kekino.com

John will share invaluable insights on how to cultivate a career in massage therapy that is both inspiring and financially rewarding. For years, this program has been instrumental at Ke Kino in bridging the gap between graduation and building a successful career in our field.

It’s a well-known fact that the average massage therapist practices for only three years, often attributed to burnout. However, John offers a fresh perspective, suggesting that the real issue may be financial instability rather than burnout. With his extensive background in the industry, John will reveal the proven strategies that have led to his own financial success and those of his students at the Ke Kino Institute of Healing.

This workshop promises to begin the journey to illuminate the path from graduation to a fulfilling and prosperous career as a healer, body worker, and massage therapist. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in our profession!

Location: KeKino Institute of Healing          1620 Custer Rd  #1  Plano, TX
Date & Time:  Thursday January 30, 2025 from 9-11 am

This meeting is open to all massage professionals, not just AMTA members. Students are always welcome.  As always, the meeting is free and snacks will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
