DavidWayne's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Jun 19, 2023

- I'm a fierce athlete and I play the piano. I am passionate about both.

- Absolutely spent!

- My first client was a woman. She was memorable because she was a weekly regular who LOVED deep pressure and I would spend most of the session using elbows. She was a lot of work but worth the effort :)

- I live in paradise and in my opinion, one of the most beautiful places in the country. I travel distances in the summer months to escape the heat. I tend to miss my home/city if I'm gone too long. I am definitely a homebody.

- Be in the moment and strive for perfection.

- Not necessarily. While training and anatomical knowledge is important, a successful therapist has "the touch" and develops his or her own style. You can have all the technical training in the world, but if you deliver a service absent the passion, energy and personality, it just feels mechanical. The end result may be disappointing.

- I come from a decades long private sector career and I bring a strong and selfless work ethic to my bodywork. I am client centered and will always go out of my way to be sure you feel welcomed, looked after and satifsfied.

- Happy and peaceful.

- I've been a masseur for 16 plus years and I will never give it up. Like many masseurs, I truly love what I do.

- I became a masseur while in grad school. It helped keep the lights on. It became a calling and the rest is history.

- I'm very tall (6'3") with very large powerful "man hands". I have a musical background as a novice piano player which imbues a musicality and rhythmic essence into my massage sessions. Clients definitely pick up and comment on it.

- I will always massage. It is part of me. Touch, both giving and receiving is a human necessity. It is powerful. For me, the addiction is about the physical and sensory connection that is afforded through massage. I guess you could say that massage is addictive. Connections are the gifts that massage provides.

- In my opinion, success is measured in a love or passion for one's avocation. Like many masseurs, I love what I do, and I can't imagine ever going without massage. So by that metric, I consider myself highly successful as a masseur.
