Re: income and supply of massage therapists, in and around Seattle Washington, a number of massage schools have closed, creating a higher demand for therapists and in many situation, driven up the pay being offered. But many of the practitioners here are approaching a stage in life where they must consider adapting to their challenged physical resources, and maybe retire.

First time listening in...you both are very articulate and thorough with your discussion. Looking forward to part 2. I am part of the aging population of therapists (23 yrs "in") and a baby boomer (60 yrs old) so this topic is especially important to me. Thanks so much for sharing!

These challenges are so pertinent. The aging therapist population was an interesting observation I hadn’t recognized.
