Supporting our practitioners:
Master Therapist Status
Our Industy
Massage therapists typically work in dark rooms, without breaks, wearing boring black clothes.
They also have a ceiling if they choose to work for a big chain employer. At Water House Wellness, we've given our therapists more room to grow. We offer them management, teaching and coaching positions as well as make sure we are always aware of their physical limitations while planning for supporting them far into the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
For those whom are interested in seeing a master therapist or your current therapist is transitioning to Master Therapist level.
It would be really easy for us to say that our practitioners are given Master Therapist status once they cross a certain milestone in the years they have been in practice.
While we agree that experience creates muscle memory in the hands of a therapist providing an intuitive and knowledgeable treatment, this is not our only criteria.
When the therapist has reached a level of finesse in their work where the therapeutic relationship, the manual skills and the ongoing problem solving with treatments is superb we would like to offer them the ability to see clients that are willing to work with them on a longer term basis and also increase their wage for these skills and attention. The Master Therapist status is the next stage in a career providing financial and practice stability.
All our therapists are able to create a practice and work directly with you. They use a tool kit of creativity to fit the needs of your ongoing wellness. Because the early stages of a therapist's career can self select a client base that is a perfect fit for their technique, it is towards the full practice level that we see therapists need more time in between clients to write notes, write follow up emails, make phone calls and spend time discussing self care and wellness. Instead of trying to wrangle the schedule and take away these beautiful results of your connection with the therapist, we would like to enable this growth by raising the rate for the Master Therapist slightly and giving the therapist more time to connect with you in and out of session.
Simply put, our Master Therapists are able to share an enlightened level of care with you. We believe in the skills of all of our therapists, and hope to support them all through a healthy and lengthy career.

Yes. Our therapists are paid more depending on the length of the treatment and the kind of treatment for Master Therapist appointments.
We completely understand that talking and thinking about financials is stressful. While we want to be flexible and accommodate you as much as possible, we want our therapist to have financial stability.
Our goal is to transition all of the therapist's clients to Master Treatments or membership. If you are unable to do either option, please reach out.
Once your therapist is exclusively at Master Therapist level, you have a couple of choices.
- You can become a Member and continue to see your therapist as a Member or Master Member
- You can individually see your therapist for the higher rate per treatment.
- You can buy a package and the package will apply to the Master Treatments.

If your therapist is not a Master Therapist it means that they are either still building their practice or they are new to Water House or both. Don't worry- all of our practitioners are amazing!
At this time we are unable to apply 4Packs to master treatments. Please consider trying the therapists at full price if that makes sense for you!
Yes! Of course.
