What Past Students Are Saying

"I took a self study course with Breakthrough Massage Academy and it was amazing. The videos are clear, detailed and easy to follow. Kelly also gives variations that can be done to customize the massage to our practice. I truly recommend this course."

Took a really thorough course Raindrop Massage Therapy course with Kelly. Good information for myself and was interesting throughout. Kelly kept the day fun and made it easy to follow along when we practiced on models. I can’t wait to take her cupping massage course next. Thank you Kelly!

Your Growth as a Massage Therapist Matters To Me

Hi, I'm Kelly.

I didn't step into massage therapy with a perfect plan. Like many therapists, I worked long hours, made costly mistakes, and had to learn how to build a thriving business the hard way. 

Today, as the founder of Breakthrough Massage Academy and co-owner of 4 Elements Wellness Clinic in Lethbridge, Alberta, I help massage therapists strengthen their clinical skills and build confident, sustainable careers. 

If you're ready for honest, empathic support - whether you're looking for treatment room skills or business help, you're in the right place.
