Tina Hopkins


Tina Hopkins is a massage professional with over 11 years of experience in the industry. She graduated from Kneaded Energy massage school and then went on to open her very own therapeutic massage center in 2011, which she continues to operate.

So, who is she? As a woman who has been in the spa business, both as a therapist and an owner of a small practice, for many years, she has basically seen everything—the good, the bad, the downright awkward. Not to mention, like all massage therapists, had to put up with a seemingly endless stream of "happy ending" jokes all. of. the. time.

In 2022, Tina published her first book, Good Massage Gone Bad – Recognizing the Red Flags, which she created an ethics course to help her fellow therapists deter inappropriate clients.

Tina is happiest when she is in mentor mode, finding new ways to help therapists. She loves to educate herself and discover new ideas, learning as much as she can through reading books, online research, and studying online classes, and talking with her fellow therapists.



Good Massage Gone Bad - Inappropriate Clients
4 CE Credit Hours

This course, Perv Rehab, is a therapist training program created to walk therapists through the process of screening clients, how to set up their practice and to reduce the chances of attracting solicitation. This course is designed to provide therapists the skill set needed to begin feeling confident in their ability to identify and deal with clients who are looking for illicit services. The intention of this course is to inspire massage therapists to share their skills with others and learn how to properly educate their clients.
