Nobody Taught Us This: Managing Your Money as an RMT — with Heather Green
We learned how to help people physically. We learned technique, anatomy, and how to build a treatment plan. But managing our finances as self-employed practitioners? Nobody taught us that.
In this episode, Jamie sits down with friend and fellow RMT Heather Green — founder of The Proactive Practitioner — to talk about the financial systems she’s built specifically for massage therapists. From tracking business expenses to navigating GST, setting aside the right amount for tax season, and actually knowing where your money is going each month — this one is for every practitioner who has ever dreaded the email from their accountant.
In this episode they cover:
- Why financial literacy is one of the biggest gaps in our training
- Heather’s Financial Freedom Course — what it covers and who it’s for
- The Tax Tracker vs the Financial Freedom Blueprint — which one is right for you
- GST quick method vs regular method — what the difference actually means for your practice
- How to do your own bookkeeping without it taking over your life
- Managing receipts and handing off to your accountant with ease
- Why manual entry often beats AI for small practice bookkeeping
- How both Heather and Jamie’s ADHD brains shaped the way these tools were designed
- The community Heather is building for proactive practitioners
Whether you’ve been in practice for two years or twenty — if your finances aren’t as organised as your treatment room, this episode is for you.
*Note: Heather’s course and spreadsheets are primarily designed for BC-based practitioners, with most content applicable Canada-wide.*
