Grant Funding for Massage Therapists - Application Guidelines

Helena Kaill — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 13:16:00 +0000

Working in private practice is just one model that we can use as massage therapists, yet it is the dominant one for most of us. That is, we advertise our services and private individuals pay us for massage. It can be a fruitful way to work but it can be hard yards to get off the ground, especially in times of economic difficulty. It also makes massage a luxury service - we have to charge a certain amount to cover costs, which often cuts out people on low incomes who are in need of what we offer.
