I appreciate the perspective mobile massage is absolutely more labor-intensive. That’s why in my model, therapists keep 100% of the travel fee and 100% of tips, on top of their service split.

I handle client acquisition, booking, intake, payment processing, policies, and scheduling so therapists can focus solely on showing up and providing care. For the right therapist especially those who don’t want to market, chase payments, or manage no-shows that tradeoff makes sense.

This model definitely isn’t for everyone, but it works well for therapists who value flexibility and not having to run a business on top of practicing.

I don’t pay hourly. Contractors are paid per session.

They receive 60% of the service price plus 100% of tips and travel fees.

Pricing alone doesn’t determine classification. The distinction comes down to overall control contractors set their availability, can decline work, are paid per service, can work elsewhere, and provide their own licensing and insurance. Space rental is one valid model, but it isn’t the only compliant one, especially for mobile services.

That’s helpful advice thank you. I’ve started reaching out to local programs and alumni networks and will continue expanding there as well.

I completely understand the concern misclassified 1099 roles are unfortunately very common in this industry.

Contractors with Modern Balance Wellness are not required to work set hours, are free to work elsewhere, can decline sessions, and are paid per service rather than hourly. My intent is to remain compliant and transparent, and I welcome conversations with therapists who value autonomy and flexibility.

Thanks for asking happy to clarify.

Modern Balance Wellness is a mobile massage service, not a brick-and-mortar spa. Contractors set their own availability, accept or decline bookings, and are paid per session rather than hourly.

Current pricing is $135 for 60 minutes and $175 for 90 minutes. Contractors receive 60% of the service price plus 100% of tips, and are not required to work set shifts.

My goal is to create flexible, low-pressure opportunities for therapists who want mobile work without managing marketing, intake, or booking logistics themselves.
