Have you ever looked forward to a Massage..only to find that
your therapist did not meet your expectations?
Not enough pressure...short on time...etc? I have!
You'd think being a therapist , that I wouldn't be shy to voice my needs.
After enduring several poor quality massages..I lost the fear of speaking up..
and started to interview the therapist before I booked the appt.
Bingo! Communication is the key to getting what you want!
Here are some hints to finding the right therapist:
- *Ask for background qualifications
- *Request a full hour of "hands on" massage..You are paying for an hour!
- *Ask about insurance Billing (you may have coverage that you are not aware of)
- *Communicate the type of massage and pressure you require
- *Ask about extras..like heat..and ice..music..environment
- *Commucicate your fears..or hesitations, including negative or postive massages you've had

So thankful for the people I meet...and connections that form from this occupation. Been mixing it up a bit..and doing outcall/chair massage...which leads to new clients..and friendships. :)
ReplyDeleteI know that I'm in the right field when a client emails or calls with positive feedback. Knowing that you can make a difference,by simply listening..and providing a service that's good for the mind as well as the body is priceless. On days that I feel drained...the feedback keeps me going...and motivates me to keep growing as a person..as well as a profesional.
Thanks for the support!
