Building a Successful Career

This is the premiere guide to managing a successful massage career and running a successful holistic business. Written by veteran massage therapist and holistic business coach Jessica Abegg (LMT, MBA, MSIB), this visual, hands-on book contains all the tools readers need.

It focuses on both practical concerns (such as finance and legal organization), and intangible elements of success (reflection, balance, and self-care).
