Instructor

Kelly Bowers

Kelly has been teaching the basics of business to massage therapists since 2003 through classes and books. She developed her business ethics curriculum in 2018, building on the foundations of the therapist/client ethical relationship, because she understands that our clients need a consistent ethical experience in all aspects of interacting with a massage therapist. Her classes are popular with students in professional training programs and with practicing therapists through professional conferences and meetings. She retired from hands-on bodywork in 2022 after 20 years to focus on business education and support. She lives and works in Durham, NC.
