Who this fits
You're a new graduate
You have your 2,200 hours and your association membership, and now you need clients. Evening callers are waiting for someone, and Nadine answers questions when you want a second opinion.
You're ready to leave a chain
Keep 60% from your first treatment and 70% after a full-time year, in your own room, at an RMT-owned clinic open since 2009.
How the commission works
Your first year
You keep 60% of every treatment. At our current prices, a 60-minute massage pays you $66.00 and a 90-minute massage pays you $90.00, before GST. That works out to $60.00 to $66.00 for each hour you spend treating.
Full-time and part-time
After a year of full-time availability, your share rises to 70%. Part-time RMTs reach 70% in about two years. Nadine counts the days you make yourself available, not how full those days get.
Clients you bring in
A client who comes to the clinic because of you pays you 70% from your first day, and they stay at 70%. Someone you met at the gym, a friend, or a follower of your own social posts all count.
Getting paid
Your income is your share of each treatment, and you invoice the clinic for it as often as once a week.
How evenings work
Evening here means after about 4 pm, once people finish work. It's a flexible schedule. Part-time and evenings-only RMTs are welcome, with two evenings a week as the minimum.
Lately, almost every new caller asks for an evening, and our open times are in the day. Those callers get offered your evening times.
Questions go to Nadine
Nadine Munro opened Got Knots in 2009 and has practised massage therapy since 2000. When you want help, ask her:
- how she would approach a client with a complicated history
- whether a condition or a medication, such as blood thinners, changes your treatment
- to show you a technique on the table
- for a second opinion when a treatment plan isn't working
She has also offered Saturday sessions where the team works through an online continuing education course together and practises on each other.
Help comes when you ask. Nobody books you into training you didn't choose.

What former therapists say about Nadine
Nadine has an amazing array of knowledge and skills to impart to any therapist that comes into her sphere and is happy to share and teach those that she works alongside.
I have been a Massage therapist for 7 years and have worked in a variety of different settings. What I appreciate about Got Knots is the ease with which I settled into the routine with clients and other staff. Clients are warm and welcoming and easy to communicate with, as well as being punctual and consistent.
All of the staff have similar attitudes towards health and wellness which makes for a consistent message about the care they receive here. Nadine has an amazing array of knowledge and skills to impart to any therapist that comes into her sphere and is happy to share and teach those that she works alongside.
The clinic is inviting and well set up to ensure all interactions run smoothly. Nadine has all the admin down to a science and has streamlined the intake and billing process to ensure consistency for everyone. Between friendly staff and fabulous clients, working at Got Knots for the last few years has been a brilliant experience.

When I started at Got Knots, I was a new therapist… Nadine was patient, and understanding while showing me the ropes of the clinic operations, while I was also finding my own flow as a massage therapist. … I would not have developed my confidence or skills to the point I did without her.
When I started at Got Knots, I was a new therapist, who had ended up pursuing a different path for a few years out of massage school. Nadine was patient, and understanding while showing me the ropes of the clinic operations, while I was also finding my own flow as a massage therapist.
As she has been running her business and been in the industry for decades, she is extremely knowledgeable in many areas and willing to pass on her expertise with staff. Nadine has built an incredible rapport with clients, so much so, that when new therapists join the Got Knots team, clients know that they are in good hands and will be taken care of.
About a year and a half in of being at the clinic, I had relocated to the opposite side of the city. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the clinic, and the relationships I had developed with clients and other therapists, that I happily made the half hour-one way commute, and did so for the remaining 5 years of my massage career.
I’m grateful for my time at Got Knots, and Nadine’s guidance and expertise over the years. I would not have developed my confidence or skills to the point I did without her.

Questions RMTs ask us
Contract. You’re self-employed, you keep your own client list, and you invoice the clinic for your share as often as once a week.
We won’t promise a number. New callers are asking for evenings now, and when a caller has no preferred therapist, we offer the times open on the calendar, yours included.
The client is yours, so the missed appointment is yours to recover. Clients usually pay for a missed visit at their next appointment once you raise the charge, and when they pay, you’re paid your share.
No. Stat holidays are your choice.
In about two years. The raise follows a year of full-time availability, so fewer days a week take longer to add up. Clients you bring in pay you 70% from day one either way.
Only when you book past Nadine’s last appointment. Book inside her hours and she closes the clinic.
No. You need your full 2,200 hours and your association membership before your first client here.
No. Send your resume and tell us which evenings suit you.
