This workshop will cover the positives and potential negatives of being self-employed, a contractor, or an employee. Massage therapists will learn what they may encounter in each employment situation and what personality traits help and hinder in each.

Students will receive an e-book that includes a breakdown of the workshop slides. It also contains a section on pay structures to help set pay expectations for massage therapists, whose salaries in Canada can range from $30,000 to $120,000 per year.

The information in this workshop will be presented as an unbiased perspective on all workplace types with time for questions at the end of the presentation.

About the Presenter

Kelly Cabrera believes in self improvement, leadership, and growth. Throughout her 15 years as a registered massage therapist, clinic owner, and massage mentor, she continuously advanced her massage and business skills.

After earning a diploma in Massage Therapy with honours from Lethbridge College in 2010, Kelly now practises a variety of modalities with multiple massage technique certifications.

Her interest in becoming an educator was sparked when she assisted with the practicum program at Lethbridge College from 2015 to 2016. Kelly went on to open Breakthrough Massage Academy to provide unique, accessible, and engaging continuing education courses to therapists.

What shapes Kelly is her drive to always learn more, develop her skills, and pass them on to the next generation of massage therapists so that they can have long and thriving careers.
