Meet the Instructor, Tina Hopkins

Hi, I’m Tina Hopkins, a licensed massage therapist and continuing education provider with years of experience navigating and overcoming the challenges posed by inappropriate clients. My journey began after a life-changing injury that led me to discover the healing power of massage therapy.

Unfortunately, I quickly learned that our profession comes with its own set of unique challenges. From my first shocking encounter with an inappropriate client to the countless stories shared by fellow therapists, it became clear that we need better tools and education to handle these situations.

That’s why I created "Good Massage Gone Bad" and this new course, "Inappropriate Clients." I am passionate about teaching therapists how to protect themselves, set strong boundaries, and maintain a safe and professional practice.
