AllanLos's Massage Interview

Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!

Of course I remember my first client. In the spring of 2020, I went to Beijing from my hometown to find a job. By chance, I was introduced to a Beijing Men's Thai Massage SPA shop by a friend. After two months of training in the massage shop, I officially started working and met my first customer. He was a gentleman from Germany. I was a little nervous about my first job. This gentleman told me not to be nervous and just to be myself. Then I relaxed and gave him a very dedicated massage. He said it felt great, and then we became good friends.

Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?

To be honest, I am a very qualified Thai massage SPA technician. My master is from Thailand. The techniques he taught us are very authentic. It is a very authentic Thai SPA. I try my best to make every customer very satisfied. If the customer is not satisfied with something, please tell me. I will listen to the opinions humbly and make corrections.

How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?

I hope my customers can give me different opinions so that I can improve my Thai massage skills and make it as perfect as possible and tailor it to each person as much as possible.

Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?

Every successful masseur cannot do without hard training. I was trained by my master for two months in a men's massage shop in Beijing before I could officially take up the job. I mastered my skills to perfection, and customers were satisfied and became repeat customers.

How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?

I have been a massage technician for almost four years. I only started this job in Beijing in the spring of 2020. This job has opened up a new world for me. I like this job very much. I am very satisfied. I hope to do it until I am 50 years old? Hahahaha

What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?

每个人的按摩技巧都不一样，每个人都有自己的风格。我不能给别人贴上标签。只要客户满意，这才是最重要的。lol

Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?

自从我开始做泰式按摩SPA以来，我每天都能遇到不同种族和身份的人。他们丰富了我的世界。事实证明，这个世界太有趣了，东亚人、南亚人、非洲人、拉丁美洲人、美国人、欧洲人等等。我很高兴能和他们交朋友，This job is very interesting and I am working hard to have my own studio, which would be very convenient. There are many other races that I haven’t met yet, but it doesn’t matter, time will give me the answer, and slowly I will get to know friends of more races.

Why did you become a Masseur?

---对我来说，成为一名按摩治疗师是一段充满意义和成就感的旅程。我叫Allan 一个最近抵达美国的亚洲年轻人，对按摩的热爱和对这种古老艺术形式的深深尊重。对我来说，成为一名按摩治疗师不仅仅是一种职业，而是一种生活方式和使命。我的故事始于中国的一个小村庄，在那里我看着我的母亲在田里工作了几天后用按摩来缓解她的疲劳。小时候，我对这种艺术的神奇触感着迷。我会静静地观察她的技巧，感受她手中的力量和温柔，仿佛每一次抚摸都能卸下身体的负担，带来平静和安慰。长大后，我明白了按摩不仅能缓解身体紧张，还要治愈灵魂。中国按摩融合了Tui Na、穴位按摩和拉伸等技术，不仅促进血液循环和放松肌肉，还协调身心，增强整体健康。被它的治疗能力所吸引，我决心掌握这一艺术，并与他人分享它的好处。我踏上了学习按摩的系统之旅。通过严格的培训，我不仅掌握了各种技术，还深刻了解了按摩背后的哲学和文化。中国按摩强调能量的流动和平衡，通过精确的操作将身体恢复到自然和谐，并培养内心的平静和精神清晰。在每次按摩课程中，我都会完全沉浸在其中，根据每个客户的需求，并用双手传达关怀和温暖。到达美国后，我注意到许多人因工作和日常压力而面临快节奏的生活方式和高度压力。我渴望通过我的手给他们的生活带来宁静和放松。按摩不仅能缓解身体疲劳，还可以在喧嚣中提供和平与舒适的时刻。我建立了一个小型按摩工作室，精心打造了一个温暖而诱人的环境。每个走进门的客户都受到热烈欢迎。我仔细倾听他们的需求和担忧，运用我的技能帮助他们放松和恢复活力。在每次治疗中，我都会调整我的技术和压力，以确保最佳效果，努力使每一次按摩体验都与众不同。作为一名按摩治疗师，我理解这个职业所带来的深重责任。我不断寻求通过持续的培训和研讨会来提高我的技能和服务质量，旨在为我的客户提供尽可能最好的护理。我希望向更多人介绍按摩的好处，并为他们的健康和福祉做出贡献。成为一名按摩治疗师的道路既具有挑战性，又非常有意义。看到客户在会议结束后带着放松的微笑离开，我充满了深深的满足和自豪。我致力于用我的双手给更多的人带来健康和幸福，在他们忙碌的生活中为他们提供和平与治愈的时刻。总之，成为一名按摩治疗师让我实现了我的梦想，并帮助他人实现健康和幸福。这是一个有意义的职业，我致力于不断提高我的技能和服务标准，努力为更多的人带来放松和治愈。

How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?

As a massage therapist, I hope clients experience deep relaxation and comfort when they leave. I want them to feel relieved and light in their bodies, free from tension and fatigue. Equally important, I aim for them to achieve a sense of calm and tranquility mentally, experiencing inner satisfaction and relaxation. At the end of each massage, I hope clients leave with a smile, feeling thoroughly soothed and content both physically and mentally. This is the ultimate satisfaction and achievement I strive for as a massage therapist.
