The MTP Bonus Episode: 2 RMTS and a Mic X The MTP

The Massage Therapy Podcast has teamed up with Mark and Amanda from 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone once again for this bonus episode for you.

Combined, we have over 13 years of professional massage therapy experience and we are both female small business owners who have a passion for health and wellness.
