As massage therapists, many of us are limited in the number of clients we can see in one day. If we work too much, we risk burnout or even worse – injury. So how as a massage therapist can you earn additional income? 

In this episode, Julie is joined by Peggy Lamb LMT, BCTMB to discuss how massage therapists can extra money through passive income streams. 

Peggy has practiced massage since 1986 and is nationally certified. She currently owns a private massage and movement therapy business, where she practices when she's not teaching. Peggy received her initial training at the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and at Wellness Skills, Inc., in Dallas, Texas.
