ClassyPro's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
After seeing how much someone appreciates what I can do for them, it truly does help lock-in my desire to continue on with the loving nature of this work.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
I'm sure I would.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Yes. I spent over 4 years working in spas and clinics, and have been working my own practice since 2014, which has progressively improved more and more over time.
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 very passionate, thorough and detail-oriented when it comes to my work.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
I like my clients to feel the relief they were seeking & needing when they leave after a massage.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy lifting weights, Yoga, swimming, running, biking, street hockey, soccer, dancing, and taking my dog out to the parks and beach.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I'm a very physical person and my mother always encouraged that I'd be a great massage therapist. Working security in a hospital gave me an appreciation for healthcare, and after working the front desk in a Massage Heights, I decided to check out and apply to massage school in 2009 - and have stuck with it full-time ever since.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Talk to a broadly experienced massage therapist / masseur who can tell you all the in's & out's of the trade and it's broad industry.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
Whereas most practitioners focus or provide one type of massage experience, I'm a jack-of-all trades that excels in most everything from the feel-good-stuff to the rehabilitative techniques. I'm also your typical normal all-American guy that most people can relate to.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
I've been a masseur since 2009, and plan to continue for another 10-20 years.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I work from my home office and only service Houston (and surrounding areas).
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
The more training, the better. But it's also important that the training is effective. Ineffective training is as good or worse than no training at all.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I want them to feel relieved of their tension, and either relaxed or invigorated - both positive.
