In this episode, I sit down with Marta Hanrahan—RMT, Structural Integration practitioner, and owner of Myosense Clinic in Ottawa. Marta shares how her love of adventure (and a few sports injuries) led her into massage therapy, and how her career evolved from heliski operations and spas to clinic ownership and Rolfing.
​
She also opens up about her work mentoring RMTs who are reentering the profession after stepping away, especially during the pandemic. We talk about why therapists left, what’s drawing them back, and what that return really looks like.
Plus: the realities of owning a clinic, launching workshops, and why she moved her practice after 10 years
TAKEAWAYS​
  • Reentry into massage therapy is possible and valuable. Many RMTs are returning to the profession after stepping away, and there’s community and mentorship to support them.
  • Structural Integration offers a different lens for treating chronic issues. Marta explains how her training shifted her view of posture and injury recovery.
  • Clinic relocation and reinvention are part of growth. Marta shares how she moved her clinic after 10 years and how she reimagined the space to include workshops.
  • Workshops and education can create meaningful connections. From yoga tune up ball therapy to postural alignment, she uses her space for more than hands-on sessions.
  • Embrace your path—even if it looks a little wild. From heli-skiing to yoga training, Marta reminds us that your massage career can be as unique as you are.
ABOUT
As an outdoor enthusiast, Marta is no stranger to sports injuries. She became interested in bodywork at a young age as she learned what Massage and bodywork could do for her own sports injuries. Fascinated with recovery and alternative health care, she completed her 2500 hours of Massage Therapy training in Ottawa at Kine-Concept. As she became more interested in the significance of correct posture and its impact on chronic injury recovery, she discovered the Rolf Method of Structural Integration. Marta trained at the Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado and has been practicing both therapies in Ottawa ever since. She is also a certified Yoga Tune Up Instructor with Tune Up Fitness. She recently completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Pure Yoga. Marta is a registered massage therapist with the College of Massage Therapy of Ontario (CMTO), where she also works part-time as a mentor and tutor. 
 
When Marta isn’t at work she enjoys escaping the to mountains to either snowboard or bike. She enjoys practicing yoga, pilates, and exploring different methods of self care she can introduce her clients to.​
