DenverBodyWorks's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
My first massage client was in Los Angeles almost twenty years ago. I had been working as an architect, but the job ended so I looked into going to massage school in San Diego, CA.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Yes. I have new clients weekly, but I also have returning clients that go back six years ago.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Yes, on days when I don't do a massage, I really miss it. I gain energy and strength from my clients. And joy in my ability to help them live a better, healthier life.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Completly relaxed
He should feel like he drifted off into another world, slipped into a trance, and came out of it refreshed, healed and rejuvenated.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
As a nudist I try to get outside whenever I can to work on a full body tan. I like to get naked in a natural hot spring. It feels so good to feel the warm water bubbling up from the center of the earth! In the winter I host naked parties to watch the football games.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I like the interact between myself and the client interloping his needs to the massage.
I believe that I have found my purpose, the fact that when my clients want to take a break from their busy lives and relax....I am honored to have the opportunity to share that time with them and do anything it takes to melt their stress away.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
No, I do not travel with my massage table.
I like to travel every few months, if possible. Even if it's a short weekend trip driving to the mountains.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
When the client is successfully relaxed, has taken his shower and talks about scheduling the next massage.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
No, not extensive training, but in this feild of work there is so much to learn and there are brilliant individuals that continue to come up with something new. My plan is to grow in this profession and not outgrow it. I find this profession extremely rewarding and wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?

Swedish, Therapeutic & Sensual Nude Massage all wrapped into one thoroughly relaxing and satisfying session and is a healthy way of handling stress.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
A Masseur needs to be knowledgeable about the body, outgoing to carry on a conversation and be ablate adapt the massage to the clients' needs.
