AndyNY's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: 8 min ago

- Tourist spots and cruise ships all over the world employ massage therapists making this a great occupation for those who enjoy working in beautiful surroundings. That's how I started it. I didn't mind relocating to get the opportunity to work in a resort on a tropical beach or a lodge surrounded by snow-covered mountains. I have worked in several cruises in Europe and the Caribbean, hotels in Miami and New York, and cities like D.C, Las Vegas, San Francisco, London and even Puerto Vallarta.

- When massage clients come to my massage studio they will find a peaceful environment surrounded by scented candles, soft towels, and soothing music. The ambiance makes it a relaxing experience not only for the client, but for me as well.

- The word addictive implies negativity so it is not a word I incorporate in my massage practice or in my life in general. Massage therapists provide an invaluable service to people who are in pain, recovering from injuries, or experiencing stress. Massage therapy speeds up the healing process, improves circulation, and can even restore emotional balance. Taking in consideration that, I would definitely miss making people feel good or much better.

- I have been working with hundreds of satisfied clients for over 7 years, accumulating over 2,500 hours of male to male massage experience. My primary objective is to be sure that my clients feel 1000% better than how they were coming into my massage place. I absolutely want them to have an experience that they won't forget and most importantly, that they feel is worth the investment of money and time.

- Travel, Read and exercise.

- Being able to provide a better life for yourself and your family are just a few of many reasons why people enjoy entering into this profession. We must, as society, stop reinforcing wrong stereotypes. Some of the benefits of working as massage therapist are to have the option to work in exciting locations, set our own hours, work in relaxing environments, meet new and interesting people, HELP PEOPLE and become your own boss.

- My advice is to train properly. Our body is our temple and we have only one.

- I have been working with hundreds of satisfied clients for over 7 years, accumulating over 2,500 hours of male to male massage experience. I plan on working as a massage therapist as long as I am happy with it.

- One of the advantages of having your own schedule is to be able to invest in experiences. I do travel as much as I can. Favorite destination is usually Europe as a whole.

- 100 percent. If you don't have the right techniques, you can damage yourself and the client as well. Our body is our temple and we must treat it properly. I personally have trained at Advanced Therapeutic Massage Training Program at the Florida College of Natural Health and at the Energetic and Spiritual Healing , Maria Lombard Healing Center in Long Beach, CA.
