DaddyLance's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Jun 18, 13:48

- Some training is absolutely necessary, but I don't think people need to go through 1000-1500 hrs of training, learning every single modality is necessary.

- I absolutely plan to do my work until I am no longer capable. I've said before that even if I were to win the lottery (would have to play first), that I would not stop doing my work, as it brings me purpose and joy, and that's just as important, if not more so than money.

- I travel about 1 week out of every 6. I love to travel but as a Cancer I absolutely need my home, and if I'm away for more than 10 days, I really start to miss it

- 14 years, and hope to continue into my 70's and maybe beyond

- I will never say that I am better than anyone else, it's entirely too personal of an experience, but whether someone is getting off my table, or out of my bed they almost always seem transformed. Many clients will say things to the effect of "Wow, I though I'd had a good massage before"

- Make sure that you're actually passionate about it, and that technique alone isn't enough. Compassion, intuition and personal development is essential if you're going to help others with your touch and energy.

- My degree is in Fashion Merchandising, but once I begin learning about massage in a body-positive, male environment I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. Work without passion is wasted energy.

- I want them to feel less pain, more joy and that they got exactly what they wanted

- I have many interests and passions including cooking, gardening, traveling, motorcycle riding, building things, etc. One of my clients calls me his Majordomo because of all the things I'm good at.

- Absolutely! I have been self employed for the last 14 years which is the greatest gift, and through my work I've helped thousands feel better and love themselves more.

- It's been over 14 years so I can't say that I remember my first client, but I do remember after having gone through a few weekend workshops and practicing on a few friends, the moment when I felt confident in my technique and intuition to begin charging for my work.
