AmericanPro's Massage Interview
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
I have many careers and I’ve come back to massage therapy many times. It’s a part of me and I love that giving a session balances me mentally the way it does physically for my clients.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I’m a professional. I’ve been licensed in the United States for a while so my work is impeccable and unlike most other therapists across this continent. It sounds arrogant but it’s true. You’re welcome to hire someone else but you can see for yourself that my work is far superior in every way imaginable.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Absolutely. Full stop.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Revitalized and good about themselves. Confidant. Knowing they made the best decision to hire exactly me.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I go to the gym as often as I can. I write. I love to read. I’m a spiritual person — but I ground myself in science.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I love that everyone always feels better after seeing me. I do a lot of good with minimal urgency.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Know your worth. Don’t short yourself on your education — always keep learning and growing; and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not worth what you’re asking for, because plenty of cheap people will try and bring you down to their level because they live unfulfilled, non-vibrant lives. You get to live beyond that.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
Soothed, satisfied, hydrated, open, without a worry in the world for at least a little while
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
Most people on this page are not as educated and skilled as I am. I’m sure plenty of them are fine people; but I’m from America where I was taught by healthcare professionals and doctors. AND. I have intuitive sense to boot.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
15 years. I‘ll never be fully done.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I only make outcalls. It’s easier that way for both myself and my clients.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Defining Successful as in having a regular, satisfied, soothed clientele, yes. I have over 1000 hours of training in my first year of education alone. If a client asks for something and comes in with a need, why would I not want to accommodate as best as I possibly could?
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
I think I was twelve. And making a friend feel good was something I found joy and peace in. I realized I had a natural talent and intuition for it and then pursued an extensive education and National licensure
