Welcome to The Rehab Room Academy!

Hi there, I’m so glad you’re here.

If we haven’t met yet—I’m Kelly, sports massage therapist, business owner, coach, and the founder of The Rehab Room Academy. I help massage therapists like you build strong, sustainable businesses without the burnout, overwhelm, or guesswork.

But I didn’t always have it figured out.

When I first started my massage business, I made a lot of mistakes. I moved to a town where I didn’t know anyone. I undercharged, second-guessed everything, and spent way too many hours and dollars trying to figure it all out the hard way.

Eventually, through trial (and a lot of error), I created systems that worked—and I realized I wanted to help other massage therapists avoid the same headaches I went through. (That is why we became massage therapists in the first place, right?  We are HELPERS!)

That’s why I created the START Program—a step-by-step guide to help you launch your massage business with clarity, confidence, and a plan.

Why This Blog Exists

Over the next 10 blog posts, I’m giving you a sneak peek into the START Program—broken down week by week, covering:

  • Structuring your business the right way

  • Creating offers and pricing that reflect your value

  • Setting up systems for scheduling and payments

  • Building a smooth client intake process

  • And finally, showing up confidently online to attract the right clients

Each blog will be short, to the point, and actionable—so you can apply what you learn immediately, no matter where you are in your business journey.
