Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
There have been a lot of first clients
The first time I massaged I was 16 working in a restaurant one of the waitresses asked and I massaged her. Being gay I wish it had been one of the cute waiters. I am big into.bofy contact. Been told giver killer bear hugs
The first Client in school was one of my ex coworkers. I was not Into giving or receiving deep tissue. I have come 180 degrees as deep tissue is the bomb
First actual client I don't recall as did Groupon and had a lot of response. Very busy but huge cut from normal income level. Good way to get name out got several recommendations
Treat every client as massage is very intimate and the person receive massage has placed themselves in vulnerable position. I'm a natural pleaser so work hard to make the massage a memorable experience

Yes I do
Am in process of getting a permanent part time muscle massage
For my interview I massaged a owner of massage school. She is one that teaches people how to massage
She said I have excellent pain relief. When I find s knot my goal is to eliminate it or greatly reduce it strong hands with strong upper body helps it. Knots feel like bubble wrap to me and I just love popping bubble wrap

Feel how your hands after the massage
