What exactly is a vibe—and how do therapists use it every day? In this conversation, philosopher, author and teacher Jason Del Gandio explains his 30-year exploration of vibes, which he describes as “bodily emanation”—the energy we project and perceive.

We dig into first impressions, setting therapeutic atmosphere, regulating your own state, shielding from “bad vibes,” and how to practise vibe awareness like a skill. You’ll leave with a clearer language for what you already do instinctively, plus simple exercises to try this week in the treatment room.

Massage therapist, teacher, writer and editor David Lobenstine shares how leaving New York—and choosing to commute back for three long clinic days every fortnight—reshaped his work and made sustainable technique non-negotiable.

We dig into Tai Chi-inspired mechanics (“pour, don’t push”), why body–brain–breath is the antidote to fatigue, and how gentle detachment lets change emerge without forcing it. David explains how sustainable touch makes 10–12 hour days possible without self-sacrifice, and how he now helps therapists rediscover their joy for massage through practical teaching and presence.

“Falling in love with massage” isn’t a one-off; it’s a practice. Explore David’s courses, including Give a Great Massage Again, at bodybrainbreath.com, and his clinical work at fullbreathmassage.com.

Mobile massage is rewarding, but it also comes with unique challenges: endless travel, scattered notes, safety concerns, and admin that piles up fast.

In this episode, we sit down with Nick Gabriele — therapist, educator, and co-founder of Noterro — to talk about what makes mobile practice so different from clinic work. Nick shares his journey from creating SOAP Vault, a simple note-keeping tool, to shaping practitioner-led solutions that put therapists’ needs first.

We dive into the top pain points mobile therapists face, the things that often don’t get done because they’re too hard on the road, and why efficient, practitioner-focused systems matter more than ever. Nick also introduces Noterro GO, a new platform designed to tackle those challenges with features like geo-fencing, safety alerts, and hands-free note dictation.

If you’ve ever felt like the “chief everything officer” of your own practice, this episode is packed with insights to help you reclaim time, reduce admin stress, and keep your focus on client care.

After decades in the corporate world, Laura Jane Layton found herself in a hospital bed following a heart procedure. That moment became her wake-up call — the signal that she needed to change her story, her self-talk, and her approach to life.

In this conversation, Laura Jane shares what she calls “self-care from the inside out”: how to notice your body’s check engine light, how to shift the way you speak to yourself, and why choosing yourself first allows you to better serve others.

If you’ve ever pushed too hard, ignored the signs, or struggled to balance caring for others while caring for yourself, this episode will give you both encouragement and practical steps to reclaim your energy and joy.

GST makes many massage therapists cringe, but it doesn’t have to be scary. In this episode, Jackie and David unpack what GST is, why it exists, and how it affects massage businesses in Australia.

We talk thresholds, exemptions, and the myths that keep therapists hiding under $75k. We share stories of first-time BAS panic, mindset shifts, and why hitting the GST threshold is actually a milestone worth celebrating.

Whether you’re close to registering or just curious, this chat will help you understand GST without the jargon.

You didn’t become a massage therapist to do spreadsheets — but understanding a few core numbers in your business can be the difference between burnout and sustainability, between “barely scraping by” and feeling confident in your pricing, schedule, and goals.

In this episode of Folding Towels, Jackie and David unpack the five key numbers every massage therapist should know — without getting buried in financial jargon or complicated systems. With a bit of humour and a lot of honesty, they break down how knowing your numbers can help you make smarter decisions about your time, pricing, energy, and business growth.

You’ll learn how to:

• Work out how many clients you can sustainably see per week or month without frying your nervous system.

• Understand the real cost of delivering a massage, including the hidden time and energy expenses most therapists overlook.

• Reverse-engineer your pricing based on your financial needs, values, and actual capacity — not just what the place down the road charges.

• Track booking patterns, cancellations, and active clients to find gaps, avoid burnout, and tighten up your calendar.

• Spot seasonal trends and client rhythms so you can plan your holidays, promos, and quiet times like a boss.

  
  

This episode is a gentle invitation to take stock — using what you already know, what your gut’s been telling you, and maybe a trusty legal pad. Whether you’re a numbers person or not, these simple insights can help you run your massage business with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Anyeska O’Rourke was inspired to work in allied health from the age of 8. Put off by the prejudices of academics she went on to qualify as a Remedial Massage Therapist and work on the luxury resort island of Hayman Island. But it was an injury and a move to Canada that changed everything.

In Canada, she fell in love with the wellbeing side of the industry — the slower pace, the heart-led care, the space to work with people more deeply. When she returned to the Gold Coast, she brought those values home with her.

In this episode, she shares:
✨ Why building your practice slowly is okay
✨ How to shape your business around your values
✨ What quiet leadership looks like
✨ How doubt can be part of a thoughtful practice
✨ And why success doesn’t have to mean hustle
