Massage is for EveryBody

Dannie was invited onto the ABMP podcast to talk about Cleveland Embodiment’s accessible pricing program as part of their annual inclusivity campaign called Massage is for Everybody. ABMP, which stands for Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals, is an organization that provides training, advocacy, and insurance to bodyworkers.

Highlights of the segment include Dannie talking with Kristin Coverly about how the program works, why it’s so vital that our program pays fair wages for low-cost work, and how our model lets the program scale up and slow down automatically based on how busy our practice is at any given moment.

You can listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Dannie comes in at the 17:00 mark, but the whole episode features other practitioners who have received similar recognition for their work expanding access to bodywork, including Nicole Kurth, who works with pediatric hospice and palliative care patients, Singeli Zaparaniuk, who works with suicide loss survivors, and Julia Semple, who is a massage therapist working with chronic pain in Colorado.
