Massage therapists are uniquely qualified to step back and notice how they feel in their bodies and minds. So, how can they view their choices objectively? In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren speak with Allissa Haines about her article “Is It Impostor Syndrome or . . .” in the May/June 2022 issue of Massage & Bodywork magazine, how the pandemic brought the issues of ego into scope, and how asking yourself the right questions will help you determine whether it’s impostor syndrome or good judgment.
Allissa Haines is a busy massage therapist and amateur chaos gardener. She runs a small massage practice in Massachusetts and partners with Michael Reynolds at Massage Business Blueprint to help her colleagues get more clients, make more money, and improve their quality of life.

Fascia Research Society (FRS) was established as a membership organization to facilitate, encourage, and support the dialogue and collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and academicians, in order to further our understanding of the properties and functions of fascia.
Every three years, FRS hosts the International Fascia Research Congress (IFRC). Beginning in 2007 with the first IFRC, and triennially since, the IFRC has been the premier fascia congress in the world. No other fascia congress brings together the very latest in fascial discovery and the diversity of the leaders in fascia. Registration closes August 31, 2022—don’t miss out!
For more information on FRS, or to register for the 2022 IFRC, please visit us at www.fasciaresearchsociety.org.
