The Protected Practice Project

Helping Massage Therapists Love the Work Longer

The Protected Practice Project is the home for the ideas, education, and resources that continue to grow beyond the pages of The Protected Practice.

Amy Gimmy, licensed massage therapist and author of The Protected Practice, writes at her desk surrounded by massage therapy resources, a microphone, SOAPoster, and professional materials focused on boundaries, education, and sustainable massage therapy practice.

My goal is simple:

help massage therapists build practices that are sustainable, ethical, and deeply human.

Every article, book, class, and resource is created with one guiding question:

How can we help massage therapists love the work longer?
