Join us as she describes how to properly screen clients, including code words and red flags to look out for, so you’ll be more able to avoid illicit behavior before it occurs. She also shares step-by-step advice for how to get out of a bad situation if you find yourself in one. Joyce provides verbal cues, marketing collateral for your practice and website, and suggestions for simple security setups. For more information, visit www.respectmassage.com.

Joyce Gauthier is a New York State licensed massage therapist. She owned a successful medical massage practice in a chiropractic office for seven years before following her dream of traveling full time. Her current residence is Gavia, a 42-foot sailing ketch, accompanied by her wonderful husband, Matthew, and a lazy shih tzu named Loki. Joyce is the founder of Respect Massage. The Respect Massage mission is to educate and empower massage therapists so they can easily spot, deter, and escape from clients who are looking for happy endings or “extras.”
