About Massage Educator

Why Massage Educator Exists

Massage Educator began as a shared vision between Angie Dubis and her brother, Bill.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Angie was working as both a massage therapist and educator, teaching live seminars and continuing education courses around the country. She saw firsthand how much therapists benefited from gathering together to learn, ask questions, exchange ideas, and challenge one another to grow.

In 2008, as online education was beginning to emerge, Angie and Bill started exploring a way to combine the accessibility of online learning with the depth and connection that came from live seminars. Their goal was to create a place where massage professionals could teach, learn, and share knowledge while staying connected to one another and to the profession.

In early 2009, Bill passed away unexpectedly before the first version of the Massage Educator website could be completed. Though he never saw the finished platform, his ideas, encouragement, and belief in the project helped shape the vision that continues today.

After more than two decades in the massage industry as both a practitioner and educator, Angie has seen how the ways therapists learn and connect have continued to evolve. Education is more accessible than ever. At the same time, opportunities for meaningful in-person connection have become less common.

Massage Educator exists to help bring those two worlds together.

Through small, intentional live events and online learning opportunities, we create spaces where therapists can learn practical skills, exchange ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and stay connected to others who care deeply about the profession.

At its core, Massage Educator is about supporting massage therapists in building meaningful, sustainable careers while remaining connected to the profession, the community, and the purpose that first drew them to this field.
