How a Formerly Broke Massage Therapist
Became A Massage Marketing Expert…

Hi, my name is Michael Humphreys and I'm a massage therapist who was once just like you. I started my massage practice in December 1993 on a measly $100 budget. Now, that isn't just a catchy marketing angle — I was really that broke when I started my massage business many years ago.

I didn't become a success overnight. In fact, I struggled for four long years until I learned the secrets to building a successful massage practice.

Let me explain why…

Who The Heck Is Michael Humphreys?

"I started my massage practice at the age of 23 years old, with no money or business training.

To this day, I have never taken one college business course.

Instead, I have studied hundreds of business books and have tested every business concept or marketing idea in my own massage business.

If it works, then I share it with other massage therapists. That's exactly what I did in my massage practice building manual, 'Help Your MASSAGE Practice' and other massage practice building resources.

Since 2004 I have been deeply committed to helping countless other therapists become successful too."

… I Went From A Part-Time Massage Therapist
To A Busy Massage Therapy Center Owner Quickly!

I struggled to develop a full-time massage business for almost 4 years, until August 1997 when I lost my full-time job in the physical therapy field. I never thought that it could happen.

I was shocked and dismayed. I was also really hurt and angry. I had been with the physical therapy clinic for over 4 years. I really needed that job to survive! I knew it was impossible for me to live on the paltry part-time massage therapy income I was making.

But you see, it was actually the best thing
that could have ever happened to me.

Let me explain.

After that experience, I decided I never wanted to work for someone else ever again. I got serious about learning how to grow my massage practice — and grow it fast!

I knew that the only way to make sure I didn't have to work for someone else was to grow my own massage business. But since it was just a small part-time business on the side, I had to kick it up a few notches. I had to find more clients. A lot more, if I were to completely replace my newly lost full-time income.

It wasn't easy, but within three months, I was seeing 12-15 clients per week. And within 6 months, I had grown my business to 25-30 appointments every week.

In fact, I got so busy that some of my clients started asking me for recommendations for a another therapist who could work on their spouses, because I didn’t have any openings to offer!

So I referred them to my competitors. That's how busy I was! (Think about it… Wouldn't that be a nice problem to have?)

I started working on opening up my own massage therapy office that would employ multiple therapists. I thought, why should I keep referring clients to my competitors… when I could schedule them with another therapist in my own massage therapy company instead?

In less than 2 years, I grew my private practice so big that I couldn't accept any more massage appointments on a weekly basis.

If It Took Me 2 Years To Learn The Secrets To
Creating A Busy, Full-Time Massage Practice, Then
How Much Faster
Will You Do It With My Help?

Remember, it took me that long because I was starting with zero business or marketing training. I did countless hours of trial and error, to learn what works and doesn't work.

I started in 1993. I didn't have a massage marketing expert to learn from… there weren't any internet-based massage marketing experts then!

Today, there are dozens of sites who claim to be "massage marketing experts"… yet my site Help Your Practice has been one of the most popular massage marketing websites online since it started in 2004.

In January 1999, I converted my massage practice into a massage therapy office that employed both male and female therapists.

I started hiring other massage therapists to work for me. I needed to hire other therapists because I was already doing 25-30 massage appointments every week. I needed to focus on marketing and growing the massage therapy office instead of just doing massages.

I continued to grow that massage therapy office, and in February 2003, I expanded it into a complete massage therapy center with a retail gift shop and seven treatment rooms. I even had a staff break room with a full kitchen, TV, and even a VCR!

It didn't take long before I started having other people seeking me out for my business expertise.

These requests came from all over the world. So in 2004, I created Help Your Practice with the help of Eric Mitchell, an extremely successful personal trainer.

How I Went From Being A Very Busy Massage Therapist
To An Overworked Massage Center Owner

Now it may sound naive, but I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to juggle so many activities at once.

I was running a massage therapy center that employed seven other massage therapists… doing 12-15 massage therapy appointments personally each week… writing all of the marketing and advertising for the center… doing most of the adminstrative work… and building Help Your Practice, all at the same time.

I was working 80-90 hours each week and hardly ever seeing my friends or family. My wife and I wanted to start a family but when could we do that?

I was working so many hours that I felt like I hardly had any free time left. How could I help raise a family when I was always working and was never home?

I wrestled with this personal dilemma for about a year, until early 2005 when I decided to close my massage therapy center and go back into private practice.

Why You Should Take Business Advice From Someone
Who Actually Closed A Successful Massage Therapy Center…

I didn't close the massage therapy center because it had failed. By industry standards, it was actually quite successful. I closed the massage therapy center because I came to the realization that:

I enjoy educating and teaching people (especially other massage therapists)…
After 6 years, I was tired of working 80-90 hours every single week. Take my word on it — that's a pretty common work schedule for the owner of a day spa or massage therapy center.
I was receiving more consulting requests from other massage therapists and clinic owners than ever before…
I was tired of working so many hours and I wanted to be able to spend more time with my wife and family. (Today, my wife and I have a beautiful little daughter who I absolutely adore.)
I didn't enjoy the daily stress and challenges that came with managing other people anymore…

Today, I have the career of my dreams. I do massage therapy in my own private practice four days each week and maintain a full-time client schedule.

Because I am no longer working 80-90 hours weekly running a massage therapy center, I have more time to help other massage therapists. As a result, I have become even busier as a massage business consultant.

Even other industries contacted me for consulting help. So in early 2006, I finally agreed to accept non-massage business consulting clients. Those industries pay me alot of money to tap into my marketing expertise… but the good news, you don't have to pay me a single penny.

2 Big Reasons Why My Massage Practice Building Advice
Is Powerfully Different From Other Massage Marketing Experts…

There are two major ways that my advice differs from many of the other massage therapy consultants:

I still actively perform massage therapy… so I'm in touch with current industry trends and what clients are asking for.

I continue to do massage because I love doing massage. Some of the other industry experts giving out advice haven't done a professional massage in years…or have ever done one at all!

I don't give any pie-in-the-sky wild guesses or offer any untested theories. I only offer tested, proven massage practice building facts.

The good news is, I'm about to help you improve your own massage business for absolutely no cost at all.
